Hi guys, I've finally decided to set a time/date for this first get-together (hopefully one of many) for people interested in Fishtown, Fishtown dwellers, soon-to-be dwellers, or those who are just interested in a good night of drinking/eats at a cool bar.

Of course it's at Johnny Brenda's...Tuesday March 30th at 7:00pm. For those of you that aren't familiar with the location (although don't publicly admit that, okay?), it's on the corner of Girard and Frankford Avenue, where there's plenty of parking on side streets and the like, and also is about two blocks North of the Girard stop on the Market-Frankford El.

For those who haven't been there, there's a pool table, local beers on tap (no bottles) and great, cheap eats. I, like always, will be the skyscraper there but now with brown hair.

Cool. My wife and I will try to be there, as long as we can get a sitter.

I'm marking my calendar for this one, and will drag hubby along (like he needs to be dragged to Johnny Brenda's).

Just a reminder to everyone this is in a week! Everyone with an interest or address in Fishtown is invited!!!!

I will def try to stop by - I live on Day St and Girard (2 blocks away) so I dont have an excuse not to be!

It was a good turn-out last night and really fun! There was a concensus to do it again--next time I'd like to get more people out, get a round table going with some ideas flowing about the neighborhood...

Congrats again to ronchito on his new home purchase! Thanks to J and G & friends for showing up despite not being Phillyblog members--hope to see you guys start posting. Or else, boys!
