Call in sick to Brew day. Were going to be brewing on Oct 26th a monday. Some of us are already feeling a bit under the weather and may not be able to make it to work that day. Post here if you also are also not going to be feeling well on the 26th and want to brew. Takoma Park is where it's going to happen, Clap's house.

Great idea. But I can't do it

Already have to take off tomorrow and I just committed to a big meeting for the 26th earlier today. Sorry guys.

Not the 23rd.... any day next week except Monday, and Friday afternoon!

I'll be out of town on the 23rd. I could do thursday the 29th or Friday the 30th but I can't speak for Clap or Jmulligan.
