It's UMD's 18th birthday! Hang out with us in our stomping grounds, Fishtown Philadelphia, and have some beers.
There won't be any wamming here. Just hanging in the neighborhood and finally getting to see the warm souls that so far have only been digital bits on my screen.
I wish I could have planned something way more elaborate, but honestly this is Philly, and we're not too good on pretense. If you're down to Uber up to the neighborhood and get a bit buzzed with us, it should be a chill time, and it would be great to finally meet you.
For those who don't know, Frankford Hall is a local beer garden-style hangout in center city, Philadelphia. The dress code is casual. Next door is Fette Sau for some amazing eats.
If we feel like an afterparty, the DJ at Johnny Brenda's down the street is spinnin until 2am. Should be a good time.

Sorry you couldn't make it, blueslimed26 & smittybill53.
(Your wife has that much veto power?) I missed seeing you.
Damn - that is one MISLEADING photo of the open-air section of that beer garden. (LOL!) When was that taken: at 8am on a Sunday morning? (roll eyes) The reality was: it was nearly impossible to hear the person next to you due to the packed crowds and the noise! Still, had a great time!
The wife vetoed my showing up solo. I might still be able to convince her to come with but it's a long shot. If we end up making it up there probably get there after 8pm. Sorry, this bummed me out.
Wow, I'd love to go & it sounds like fun but I'm broke with no way to get there plus I have something going on late afternoon then. Hope everyone has a great time though!
Hope to be able to make this. It's the weekend before the family vacation, so getting the night off may be tough, but as soon as I know, I'll add myself to the "going" list.
