   rocklands, the bar with a heart, will no longer be around the corner, or as it were, down the street from brickfest this year and more than one member of parlugment is more than worried.

given the apparently poshish nature of this year’s venue (see the hotel’s website), we might well be sitting at a long black and chrome bar wondering, huh, this isn’t rocklands.


   and the bartender might look a little sharper than at rocklands.
 

   and some people may be less than pleased, even if crown royal is still “on tap”.

we’ve obviously come up in the world. enjoy, or should i say, cheers.

Great vigs!!!

Sadly, the Rocklands that previously was down the street from our former beloved BrickFest site (aka GMU) is no more:

http://www.rocklands.com/default.asp

So even if we had BF at GMU this year, there would, alas, be no Rocklands. The location, still a bar called “The Carpool In Arlington,” is still there, but Rocklands has moved out.

Actually, the locals (aka Wamalug-ers) are further lamenting the impending loss of our monthly meeting space at GMU, and even more, the loss of our “Chicken Place,” aka El Pollo Rico, where Peruvian Style spicy rotisserie chickens are the specialty. 8-(
