When are you guys trying to do this? I live in the Hampton Roads area but I have to know exactly when this will happen. Keith, sorry I haven't been able to go up there and take you up on your offer for Presidente but as you can see, we in the Air Force are really busy right now............anyways, let me know so I can just hop in a car and drive up there. Thanks...........

Confirmed that Los Toros band will be playing this sat. at Cuzco Restaurant II on University Blvd. in MD. Tickets are $35 in advance and she didn't think there would be any left to sell at the door, nor could she tell me how much they would be then.

We won't be going, just am not in the mood for noise. But Sanchocho when would this gathering be planned for, with enough notice my husband should be able to get off work, and dominoes is his game...

Kalima,
thanks for the info. Sorry you won't go, but I understand perfectly.
Anybody else interested in seeing Los Toros? PM me if so.
Regards,
Keith

Where can you buy Presidente in NoVa? I haven't seen it anywhere other than Havana Village.

ALB,
I bought it at Giant on the corner of Backlick & Braddock in Annandale. I'm told the Giant on S. Van Dorn also has it. Evidently there is now an importer/distributor here in No.Va. Horraaaayyyyyyy!!!!!

Best Regards,
Keith

P.S. You can also find them at my house, properly chilled.

I vote for Saturday the 15 th.

I am leaving for the DR on the 20th, so the weekend of the 15th would be the best time for me.

Mr. Sancocho if you and the wife are planing to be in the area this Saturday, give me a holler. The wife is dying to meet another Dominicana ( she complains that I'm no fun to speak too in spanish, because I'm too slow:().

But, but I'll get better honest I will...... :nervous:.

The giant from Annandale is about a 10 minute walk from our apartments. You will find a better price in almost any Shoppers than Giant. The SHoppers on Pickett and 236 has it and so does then one in Annandale on 236 and Bauregard. It's about $6.80 for a 6 pack.

Buen Provecho

Thanks Kalima for the tip about SFW now having Presidente. I will certainly check that out! :cool:
I know Giant's more expensive as a rule, but the one on Braddock & Backlick (near your house) is convenient to me, as I pass by it almost daily to & from St. Michael's.
Best Regards,
Keith

P.S. Curiously enough, the other Giants I have checked so far do not carry Presidente (yet). But I will talk to the managers and see about getting that corrected promptly! ;)

JWB, guess you don't read your PM's. I was in Woodbridge today with my son, and wanted to meet. We'll be there tomorrow (Sun. the 8th) as well -- he has a 2:30 soccer match at Tyrell Fields by Veterans Park. You & I should hook up at some point, because my dominicana wife would like to meet more dominicanas in the area too. Perhaps Sancochojoe (who I talked to at length last night) & his spouse, you & yours, and my wife and I can get together sometime before Xmas. Whatcha think?
Best Regards,
Keith

Thanks AZB and Keith_R for the kind remarks. Yes, Keith is from Huntington, WV. I still can't believe that. Just goes to show (like old HB) that us hillbillies do get educated.

Hey, I will go for a No. VA DR1 party. If I do another Santo Domingo party, it will be next May. Hey, thanks on the Presidente beer tip. Can't find it in Woodbridge. I may have to get some in Annadale. Got to have the best beer. Yeah, Superstar has not been posting. (perhaps just lurking). In response to original post, I have met some Dominicans. The biggest surprise was meeting a stunning blonde named Grace from Santo Domingo. She married a CPA who works in Tysons Corner. I didn't know the D.R. had natural blondes, but I now know differently.
