West Potomac Hunt Update
Below is the Update for the HUNT
WHERE: The 5th Annual West Potomac Scavenger Hunt will take place this Saturday June 6. We will begin at 1pm at Chef Geoff’s at Metro Center 1301 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Washington, DC 20004 (Hint, get a head start by enjoying a Super Mug)
The Hunt will conclude at Hamilton’s at 6pm so plan your transportation accordingly. Driving is strictly prohibited during the Hunt and public transportation is strongly encouraged.
WHO: This is an important chance to include your friends in a fun WestPot event. Everyone who has joins us has had a great time (actual fun may vary). Assemble teams of up to six members with no more than 3 WestPot players on any team. (Hint: Smaller teams are better). If you bring 10 unaffiliated friends, you get half-off your fall dues. If you need to be put with a team, email me at bensalisbury (at) hotmail (dot) com or show up early.
WHAT TO BRING: Each team will need a digital camera with a fully charged battery.
The hunt is carefully crafted so that it can be enjoyed by the athletic and the lazy alike. It is all about being creative and having fun. Dress comfortably. It goes without saying, rookies are expected to wear their silly hats. (Hint: You can expect some sort of bonus for teams appropriately attired in Pabst schwag, WestPot gear, Rocklands clothes, and or blue and pink MABC socks).
WHY: Proceeds from the $10 per player donation will be split between Men Against Breast Cancer and West Potomac.
Prizes include 4 premier tickets to a Nationals game of your choice (another good reason to keep teams small) among other fabulous prizes.
We are still looking for more prize donations (Weekend at your beach house, 21 year old scotch, backrub coupon) email bensalisbury (at) hotmail (dot) com. Your team will get one point for each approved prize donation (potentially more).

PBR Me ASAP - Retail Outlets in DC?
Now that the Spring season is over and I'm starting my sabbatical from playing rugby, I figure the best thing I can do to support the team is to drink as much Pabst Blue Ribbon (PBR) as possible. I usually drink PBR when I'm at Hamilton's or Jimmy Valentine's, but sometimes I'd like to enjoy a nice cold PBR while I'm at home chilling out.
The problem is that I haven't been able to find any retail outlets that sell PBR on the Hill. I've checked at Schneider's, Hayden's (down by Eastern Market), and just about every damn bodega on the Hill and have come up empty. I called Premium Distributors to find out who carries PBR in the District and all the places they listed were in NW DC. Now I want to support our sponsor, but I'm not driving all the way across town just to buy a case (or 4) of beer.
PBR has been pretty good to us; through their sponsorship we were finally able to get a kit that doesn't look like it was designed by Hellen Keller and Hamilton's has been kind enough to have a running special of $1 PBRs on Friday nights all season long. Since we have a fairly significant concentration of West Pot players on the Hill (me, the Skip, Pete the Rock, Sneaky Pete, and a few others) I'm thinking that we need to decide on a liquor store or beer seller that we can ask en masse to start carrying PBR.
