well I was all set to offer up our apartment as a venue but it seems like once again we get stuck at the basics. Unless somebody wants to pony up $100 to deposit on the rental I doubt we're actually going to get a party room?

― TOM. BOT. (trm), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 16:53 (seventeen years ago) link

"we" get stuck at the basics? "We" do? Oh really?

guys let's look at it in terms of any room we get is a party room

― Mr. Que (Party with me Punker), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 16:56 (seventeen years ago) link

i guess i figured it wouldnt be necessary, since presumably not everyone would be able to or want to do it - i mean, i know already that zack and alex cant make a 12/25 dinner...

are christmas night reservations impossible to get this late?

― 69 (pete), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 16:58 (seventeen years ago) link

no, why woudl they be

― Allyzay is cool: with Blue n White, with Eli Manning, with NY Giants (Allyzay Ei, Wednesday, 13 December 2006 17:04 (seventeen years ago) link

i think a lot of people in the city probably go out for xmas dinner - brian, any experience?

― 69 (pete), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 17:05 (seventeen years ago) link

ok basics such as which day are also making this impossible. Pete why are you suggesting actual christmas? I thought friday/saturday was plan

― TOM. BOT. (trm), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 17:05 (seventeen years ago) link

I have lived in cities almost my entire life and have never been invited to nor have I arranged a Christmas night event in a restaurant. They're always at people's houses.

― Allyzay is cool: with Blue n White, with Eli Manning, with NY Giants (Allyzay Ei, Wednesday, 13 December 2006 17:06 (seventeen years ago) link

maybe if they have a party upstairs we can crash that

― TOM. BOT. (trm), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 17:08 (seventeen years ago) link

You'd be a fool to try it over here all public transport stops at about 9pm and they take the roads in at 10.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 17:08 (seventeen years ago) link

these people i know went out for christmas once, though. these dogs broke into their house and ate their christmas turkey, so the father took them all out to dinner at a chinese restaurant and they ate duck.

yeah and then they shot their eyes out with bb-guns, right?

― Allyzay is cool: with Blue n White, with Eli Manning, with NY Giants (Allyzay Ei, Wednesday, 13 December 2006 17:11 (seventeen years ago) link

no, that's the end of the story. like i think the waiters sang to them or something, but that's it.

― Mr. Que (Party with me Punker), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 17:12 (seventeen years ago) link

- i suggested christmas to ally like two months ago, and she seemed interested, so i figured id see what everybody else thought
- i cant do friday/saturday, and im more interested in dinner than a party
- i know youve lived in cities your whole life, ally, but brian knows more about restaurants than you - i wasnt trying to say you didnt know what you were talking about

if anyone is interested in having a nice-ish dinner on christmas night, just email me - on-board planning is awful!

― 69 (pete), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 17:13 (seventeen years ago) link

I was interested in dinner, I'm not the person that can't keep a conversation straight. Forget it, I'm not really that interested in Christmas in general this year, I only asked because Mr. "Let's rent a party room" wouldn't shut up last night about inviting people to our house for a party.

CHRISTMAS PARTY BUS, PEOPLE

― a_p (a_p), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 17:16 (seventeen years ago) link

haha that reminds me that at some point last night i arrived at cafe japone in a limo.

― a_p (a_p), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 17:18 (seventeen years ago) link

my fam goes out for xmas eve dinner every year, bros! it ain't that hard to get together.

i still say yes to hangout/party/eating, although not on fri/sat. the only way these things ever work is if dudes just set a date and time, and the people who can come do and the people who can't don't and nobody's feelings get hurt and really it's not a big deal and hardly worth stressing out over.

i think, for the sake of keeping me entertained, you guys should all start eating lunch at your desks.

can we switch this to a confused, million-post tangent about new years plans so i can contribute?

― a_p (a_p), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 17:52 (seventeen years ago) link

LOL @ LNS EATING EACH OTHER

― 69 (pete), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 18:13 (seventeen years ago) link

dar1a, there are a few awes dim sum places around here - my favorites are in rockville - A&J and joe's noodle house. oriental east in silver spring is great too. chinatown has a few good ones, and falls church/annandale is like rockville south (or vice versa), but i prefer MD...

Christmas in restaurants usually isn't too full, but a lot of them are closed and a lot offer special christmas menus. Hotel restaurants are all open.
