We don't know yet when it will be. 

Watch the blog, watch the facebook group.

Same location as before - Tequila Grande in Vienna.

MESH meeting tonight CANCELED (more or less)

Hi gang,

OK, so, as you might have noticed, there's a little white fluffy stuff going on outside. As we all know, in Northern Virginia, a little rain means traffic nightmares, and any kind of winter weather is TANTAMOUNT TO APOCALYPSE! So, it is with some regret that I, a central New York native born and bred in the frozen north, must admit that probably nobody wants to go to Tequila Grande tonight. If you were planning on toughing it out, let me know ASAP and I'll be there, but I'm assuming we're off for this evening. We're suggesting that we try again on 21 February.

Peace,
Mike

Next MESH: 17 January

Hey gang,

Mark your calendars for the next MESH gathering: Thursday, 17 January, twenty-aught-ocho, at 7pm. Unless anybody has any better ideas, we seem to be pretty happy at Tequila Grande, (444 Maple Avenue West, Vienna VA 22180). What's not to love? Tasty Mexican food, friendly staff, and tequila, with fruit juice and ice, in glasses, with optional salty rims. Muy grande!

(But if you'd like to suggest a different venue, by all means do so. We're flexible. We flex.)

To review the rulez: for MESH purposes, you're considered a 'young adult' if you're old enough to drink a margarita and young enough not to disapprove. And, for the record, if you're under 21, come on out anyway - we'll just have to get you something else to drink.

See you in the new year, and peace!

Reminder: MESH-a-Ritas Tres this Thursday at 7!

We'll be slurpin' 'ritas, wolfin' burritos and chattin' about life, the universe, and whatnot at Tequila Grande, (444 Maple Avenue West, Vienna VA 22180). Thursday, 15 November, 7pm SHARP(ish). Join us!

Marcus Borg in Richmond Friday Nov. 7th

Hi gang,

Here's info on an event that might be of interest to MESH folks, from long-distance MESHer Meghan Vesel:

Marcus Borg, a prophetic voice in the paradigmatic shift in Christianity, will speak on the Two Visions of Christianity Today at St. James Episcopal Church in Richmond on Friday, November 2nd at 7:30 p.m. Sign up for the lecture at www.doers.org. The lecture is free - there is a @ $20 suggested donation, but I just called St. James and they said that is only suggested, especially if someone just attended the one hour lecture on Friday night. People can pay what they can or cannot.

Join other 20/30 somethings at a post-lecture free thinking discussion over coffee/wine/desert at wine bar Betsy’s at Bin 22- at 3200 West Cary Street – Richmond, VA 23221. All theological orientations on the spectrum are welcome – from theist to atheist and anywhere in between.

Please RSVP by Thursday, November 1^st to meghanvesel@global.t-bird.edu or call (404) 583-1682 for the wine/coffee/desert discussion beforehand if you can just so we know what size table we need to reserve.”

In the interest of hospitality, I could try to put people up at my house. I’m a mile from St. James and about ½ mile from Carytown. Not sure how people would feel about staying with someone they don’t know.

If you're near Richmond, or you can make the trip down that evening, check it out!

MESH-a-ritas Tres: Thursday, 15 November

Well, it may not be a great venue for discussing books, but we sure do seem to have a good time slurpin' 'ritas, wolfin' burritos and chattin' about life, the universe, and whatnot at Tequila Grande, (444 Maple Avenue West, Vienna VA 22180). So, let's do it again, why don't we? We're planning for Thursday, 15 November, at 7pm. Which, granted, is a ways off in the future, so if anybody would like to organize something before then (A game night / retreat in Front Royal? A Leesburg Halloween-a-palooza?) - well, let's do it! Start a discussion in the Yahoo group or the Facebook group, and we'll figger it out. (And if you're not a member of one of those groups, you're welcome to join.)

See you soon!

we had fun

hooray for us! and hooray for Tequila Grande, which was (for the second time) a great place to have a group meeting. the waiter even took this photo for us. how nice is that?
news of the next meeting coming soon...

the theology of HP7, and more 'ritas

Folks, it was decided by consensus at our last (and superfun) meeting that the next time we gather,
we will:

1. eat mexican food and drink margaritas, again.

AND

2. discuss the theological implications of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Mike and I circled in on the following date: Thursday, September 20th.
7-9pm.
Tequila Grande (again, see below)
Bring your friends and loved ones.

And to reiterate the classic line, you're considered a 'young adult' if you're old enough to drink a margarita and young enough not to disapprove. And, for the record, if you're under 21, come on out anyway--we'll just have to get you something else to drink.
See you there.

See you there!
