crunchtastic Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Speaking of good looking lawyers, found the following Article about a very important research. Check the great comment #49....ha, half those replies were probably posted by ugly lawyers I used to date.Nope, we need some stories about Columbia! This is perhaps not your field of study, but Gabriel Garcia Marquez is one of my favorite writers and I need to know --is he as crazy as American and British literature people always say? I get the impression he was like the Columbian Ernest Hemingway. Crazy, si o no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the impression he was like the Columbian Ernest Hemingway. Crazy, si o no?No doubt he is a very interesting character just like Hemingway. Crazy in many ways, but a brilliant mind. He could be one of the few ones be able to tell if Fidel is alive or not, that's how close they are/were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 He also found that lawyers in private practice tended to be better looking than those who worked in government jobs. Apparently, TJ's good-looking lawyer friend is no longer good looking. But, he may show up Saturday to drown his sorrows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You missed a hoot nanny at The Firehouse and Volcano on Friday though.TJ, too bad you could not make it. It was an enjoyable night as always. - Traffic on 45 going north was a mess; this might have contributed to.....- Happy Days lounge being as busy as it can probably get.....- Under new bartendering crew..... same ownership.....- Sandra strong drinks and flirting with some fellow Haifer's will be missed.....- Learned that Jukebox selections can be cancelled and that I need to definitely try 888.It was very nice to see you all. Till next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brijonmang Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I know it's been a while since a happy hour was planned...anyone interested in getting a meet up together? I've honestly never been able to get to one so I figured I'd keep it open to some seasoned veterans for suggestions. What say ye? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Didn't want to let this slip off the front page. I'm in. A suggestion Crunchtastic and I had was picking a spot on or near one of the new bike trails crisscrossing downtown and the inner loop. An example is Lucky's on Houston Ave, but anything near Market Square or Washington Avenue would be accessible to the trails, as would the bars on White Oak. Just a thought.

brijonmang Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I'd be driving in from the Cinco area after work so I'm game for whatever. Like I said, I'm a noob for this so I don't know how these usually go down. An area that offered multiple options would be good though and I like both suggestions you put up. Anyone else out there interested??? Bueller.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crunchtastic Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Liking the idea of some day drinking at one of the bars along the trails; the new Lucky's is quite convenient. Ikeep meaning to check out the little icehouse place on Silver and Houston that re-opened not that long ago. But hell, I'm easy if someone else is willing to be JulieYourCruiseDirector. I'm also 'between jobs' at the moment, so am easier than usual. Yes, apparently that's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say we keep it architecture related...http://s7.photobucket.com/user/brijonmang/media/01scapspan_zpsfd11f630.jpg.html'> I like the idea of doing something along the trails...I mean I'll be driving in from the burbs regardless so if one of you centrally located guys wants to be the guy to pick a starting place, by all means name a good one. I'd like to check out a new one or at least something I haven't gotten to yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porchman Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 So many good suggestions and no decisions. (It's like a virtual staff meeting.) Friday, May 31 - 6pm or after Lucky's - 2520 Houston Av @ White Oak. Upper deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I was going to make an executive decision and pick Lucky's. LUCKYly, someone else did it for me. Though, I would pick a Friday sooner than the 31st. Let's get some feedback. Post whether you'd rather have it on the 17th, 24th, or 31st...or if all 3 are OK. I prefer the 17th, but all 3 dates will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 This coming Friday (17th) works best for me, I know it's short notice but with my new job, I don't know if i'll have to work which saturdays after this weekend.

brijonmang Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 In light of the lack of real decisiveness on the date, I move to make the 31st the designated happy hour drink-fest. Staying with Lucky's at White Oak on the upper deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
