This just in United Fans... Rumor has it that United will be having a Blackout Party next Tues at the Lucky Bar on Connecticut Ave just south of Dupont Circle. Time, players to attend, drink specials and other details will be coming but good sources say that the DCU brass has it arranged. Party your team to victory. Look for an announcement soon and be there...
Re: Blackout Party Next Tuesday @ Lucky Bar Actually it's not a rumor, from the latest On Tap's Weekly Events update: Join D.C. United players, coaches and staff at Lucky Bar for a Blackout Party on Tuesday, Oct. 24 from 4 to 6 p.m. to meet the players and take part in a raffle giveaway. RSVP to winstuff@ontaponline.com to win a pair of tickets to the game on the 29th, but you must be present to pick them up. Lucky Bar is located at 1221 Connecticut Ave., NW. K
Re: Blackout Party Next Tuesday @ Lucky Bar Who the hell can be anywhere at 4 PM on a Tuesday? You'd have to work at home, or something...
Re: Blackout Party Next Tuesday @ Lucky Bar Students and the unemployed? Yeah I couldn't believe the timing of this thing either. Don't know if On Tap, the bar or DCU set it. K
Re: Blackout Party Next Tuesday @ Lucky Bar Yep, that's about it. But fortunately I get out of class at 4:15, just around the block on Mass Ave. I'll be there!
Re: Blackout Party Next Tuesday @ Lucky Bar Well, I do work at home, but Tuesdays are my worst day of the week, particularly late in the afternoon. If I can move some things around, I'll be there.
Re: Blackout Party Next Tuesday @ Lucky Bar I can, since I think it's only one hour earlier than the way they did it last year. Which was equally annoying. Oh well.
Re: Blackout Party Next Tuesday @ Lucky Bar Argh...damn having a database class on Tuesday. In Arlington. When I'm prepping for a midterm.
Re: Blackout Party Next Tuesday @ Lucky Bar How about a Federal employee who works across the street from Lucky Bar?
Re: Blackout Party Next Tuesday @ Lucky Bar WOOHOO I am so there, come on people haven't you heard of a "doctor's appointment"?!?!?!
Re: Blackout Party Next Tuesday @ Lucky Bar I reserve my dr.'s appts for hauling my arse out to NoVA for mini-golf tourneys. Dammit all to hell, they finally do something at MY bar and it ********ing starts at 4pm... *sigh*.
Re: Blackout Party Next Tuesday @ Lucky Bar Guess who works a block away. That's right! ME!!! hahahahahahahaha. --> Blondie does happy dance<-- Excellent.
Re: Blackout Party Next Tuesday @ Lucky Bar I'm off that day! I can make the trip. Maybe some other Baltimore folks wil want to make it as well.
Re: Blackout Party Next Tuesday @ Lucky Bar I can make it, as far as my schedule stands now. My morning appointment will be long overwith. -Patricia
Re: Blackout Party Next Tuesday @ Lucky Bar WTF! 4PM on a Tuesday! I guess they wanted to have the entire place to themselves... Guess I'll have to come down with an early season flu bug. All you have to do is mention "intestinal issues" and nobody wants you around!
Re: Blackout Party Next Tuesday @ Lucky Bar Can we pick up our blackout shirts there, if we forgot to get 'em last weekend?
Re: Blackout Party Next Tuesday @ Lucky Bar i heard from a friend that they got their blackout shirts at sunday's game, but i thought they actually hand them out at the first playoff game? i didn't get my vouchers for the blackout shirt until after sunday anyways. i only saw them handing out little towels on sunday.
Re: Blackout Party Next Tuesday @ Lucky Bar 4pm? meh...can't do that. I apparently need to start working for you Bill.
Re: Blackout Party Next Tuesday @ Lucky Bar OK, it seems the funky timing is so this event can make the evening news (if there's not a crowd there is that a good thing?) Anywho the person I contacted thinks a few of the guys will linger past 6 (and the party will go on past 6) so come when you can. K
Re: Blackout Party Next Tuesday @ Lucky Bar No sh1t. Hello? DC United? Those of us season ticket holders might actually have to have a job to afford them... Hey! Maybe since their play off party is at such a bad time for most fans they could get all of us season ticket holders into the special access bar at the east end of RFK - you know, for the effort.
Re: Blackout Party Next Tuesday @ Lucky Bar Any chance of them pushing it back to a normal happy hour time or is this set in stone?
Re: Blackout Party Next Tuesday @ Lucky Bar See you there... I wonder how my employer would feel about my wearing my kilt?
Re: Blackout Party Next Tuesday @ Lucky Bar You SHOULD come work at the shop. You can work for me so I can go to more games!!!
Re: Blackout Party Next Tuesday @ Lucky Bar I don't know what I was thinking.... The fun level would go down a whole lot without you, Pints!!!! (Take off early Tuesday... I'll drive and I'll pick you up from work.) P.S. Sorry for quoting myself.....
Re: Blackout Party Next Tuesday @ Lucky Bar I'll be there too, but not until 5 or so. Depends, I would think. Does your desk have a privacy panel?
