I harbor a low-brow fantasy of running a diner (really it's the even lower-brow fantasy of getting to be a little gruff all the time and call everyone "Hon.") But almost as good is knowing the owner of a pub, so with delight I read this in my inbox:
The Grand Opening of McMahon's Irish Pub & Restaurant will occur on Sunday, May 14th, 2006 at 5 pm. The Pub is located at 380 Broadview Ave, Warrenton VA 20186. Michael, Emmet, Noel and I hope you will be able to attend--and if not that evening, we hope you will be able to stop by at some future date. All the best, [Good Friend]
M,E & N being of Dubliner, Four Provinces and Molly Malone fame, respectively (GF to date is known mostly for his lovely wife, adorable kids & conspicuous consumption at the Four Ps). Well, Local Readers, let's trek way the heck out there and demand free ale for friendship's sake, sinking the place into ruin on its first night, shall we? Wear a neck-tie so I'll know you.
