Roll yourself to the Rhodeside Grill (see http://yp.washingtonpost.com/yp/rhodesidegrill/ or http://washingtonian.com/dining/Profiles/rhodeside.html) and join us as our COUNTDOWN TO 1-9-9-9 continues! On a weekend otherwise memorable for absolutely nothing, THIS will be THE place to be Thanksgiving weekend --- and we hope you'll be on hand as our march toward the coming New Year rolls on! This event features o NO SCP COVER CHARGE (our events are for fun or for charity --- NOT for profit!) O LIVE PROGRESSIVE ROCK MUSIC BY ORANGE WHIP o NO COVER FOR BAND (period! none!) o POOL TABLES (forget the laundry --- bring those quarters!) o FOOSBALL (enough said) o APPETIZERS AVAILABLE DOWNSTAIRS UNTIL 9:00PM (and upstairs until closing) o NOTHING ELSE TO DO BUT SQUABBLE ABOUT KEN STARR AND THE PRESIDENT WITH YOUR HOLIDAY GUESTS AND RELATIVES! Thanks again to those of you who made it to Clarendon Grill after Gold Cup last month for our 75 Days `Til Midnight bash! We raised $3,000 for the Campagna Center (please see http://www.athene.com/smotj/charities/campagna.html for more), and this was in addition to last NYE's donation and the $1,000 from the July rooftop happy hour at Hotel Washington earlier this year)! Thanks to the Clarendon Grill and the 600+ of you who attended! Sorry we didn't have noisemakers for everyone, but we do still have a few hats left if anyone wants one! A final 4 Days `Til Midnight party will be held right after Christmas. Our event THIS SATURDAY (11/28) continues the countdown to our big black tie event on New Year's Eve with Gonzo's Nose (see http://www.gonzosnose.com) at the Ritz-Carlton (check out http://www.ritzcarlton.com for more on this Five Star Hotel).
