So, read carefully. There will be a quiz at the end. 1. Due to National Park Service regulations, no door sales are allowed, so we'll have to turn away anyone---no matter how pitiful, clever, important, beautiful, or handsome---who is not on our list of prepaid guests. Trespassers risk being shot by NPS rangers! 2. Thompsons Boat House has LIMITED CAPACITY and we've already just about filled it through advance ticket sales, so there is no reason for us to sell at the door! 3. To accommodate returning Fall Gold Cup partygoers, we've decided to open the doors a little earlier (8pm, instead of 9pm). The band will start before 9. We'll go until 1am-ish. 4. Thompsons Boat House is located at 2900 Virginia Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20037. It is at the corner of Virginia Avenue and Rock Creek Parkway in Georgetown, just around the corner from Sequoia, past the sundial and the gazebo (away from Tony & Joe's). Go to http://www.scp.org/boat_house_map.html for a Yahoo map. Need more details? It's a keg party, for God's sake! Great live music. Keg beer (free!). Waterfront view. Munchies. Casual attire.
