Stadium Forum Tonight - FOR WARD 8 RESIDENTS *ONLY*

Re: Stadium Forum tonight at Ballou

Don't go. We've had this discussion already. Ward 8 people only.

 

Would somebody just get Barry

his bribe already so we can proceed in a constructive manner.

 

Re: Stadium Forum tonight at Ballou

Right. Don't go.

(But I do hope we have one "spy" there who will report back here afterwards.)

 

Re: Would somebody just get Barry

Reports (contrary to the Post's assertions) are that he's already on board. The meeting tonight could be a good place for him to announce that...

 

Re: Stadium Forum tonight at Ballou

mods, can we delete this to be sure NOBODY shows up?

 

Re: Stadium Forum tonight at Ballou

I changed the title to emphasize that point.

 

I don't think DCU would fund an event at which Barry will speak in opposition.

I could be wrong though.

Free food is not enough for 2 of my co-workers to attend this event. The apathy runs high and when I say "soccer stadium" they look like they just ate some crabgrass.

 

Well cafeteria food is a tough sell...

Maybe if you tell them they will have a keg?

That always seems to work for us...

Well that and "punch and pie" on the flyers.

 

Re: Would somebody just get Barry

Do we really need this sort of crap?

 

Re: Would somebody just get Barry

Would you feel better if it were called a quid pro quo?

 

News of the DCU Stadium meeting ran on Channel 4 News this morning right after the report on the Nat's stadium. The news caster said that Barry opposed the stadium though, which I think is wrong.

 

Re: Stadium Forum tonight at Ballou

did i hear somebody call me???

 

After I get my drink on at the clubhouse after work I'll subway over so I can give a full report tomorrow.





Just kidding!!!

 

There is at least one Ward 8 resident in the Barra. I don't know whether he comes to BigSoccer, though.

 

A little off topic, bute here is a nifty map of DC taht shows ths boundaries of the different wards:

And here is an image of what the Anacostia Waterfront Initiative entails:

 

Re: Stadium Forum tonight at Ballou

stephen said he'll provide us with information on what happens at the meeting.

 

Re: Would somebody just get Barry

Nah, quid pro quo sucks.

I prefer quod erat demonstrandum.

Or ipso facto.

Then again, I think there are lots of folks here that condemnant quod non intellegunt.

Whatever the case, I'm pretty sure the new stadium won't appear ex nihilo. Some sort of deus ex machina will be involved.

 

I think that might be the first time I've ever seen subway used as a verb.

 

You obviously don't BigSoccer enough.

 

Thank God Webster is dead. He would have a stroke over the new verbs appearing everyday on here.

 

Indeed. Verbing is very disturbing!

 

Re: Would somebody just get Barry

I prefer illigitimi non carborundum, myself.

 

I've actually heard METRO as a verb quite often. (e.g. "let's METRO it down to DC tonight", "I METROed it home after the game", and no not the other metro)

"Subwaying it" doesn't sound wrong even if it is.
