i'm just saying that i don't want to see this settled by throwing someone's shoe over Babylon. ;)
in all seriousness....this is my local bar and i've already put the word out to about 10 or so friends. it sounds like a great time!

If necessary there will be an appropriate "feats of strength" tie-breaker! ;)

Did you say a beer drinking contest? Boat race? Barra vs. SE's?

It is funny what one stumbles upon when digging around in the SE archives...

Even Beckham has made an appearance (of sorts) at a past SE Pub Quiz... of course, no one bothered to pay attention to him. :D

What is the parking situation at this place and is it easy to find?

Here are the directions

and there is plenty of parking because it is at the end of a pretty large strip mall with a bank right next door. At that hour there won't be anyone doing any last minute deposits ;)

FINALLY, a joint where Amharic isn't despised! I find Engish so limiting, don't you?

Please, for the love of all that is sweet and creamery, SOMEONE ask him what he was thinking when he said "Rise like a salmon, little Bobby" during a broadcast.

Metro then by bus I have been told.
I am super excited about this event. My group has decided to drop our usual "Demanators" name and are deciding on a new name.
DeKo21DCU will remain, for now...

the way that i go (sans car of course) is to take the yellow or blue line to Pentagon and then hop on the 16J or G bus. now there's another bus that runs from Ballston, but i don't know which one at the moment.
i'll post the other route when it comes to me.

oh and btw, since this is my first time going to the Pub Quiz i just wanted to know if this is a general knowledge or soccer knowledge quiz? the reason that i ask is because i'm bringing a heckuva lot of friends to this thing, but they're not huge soccer fans.
just curious.
