CU alums gathering to watch in Washington

[David Lytel]

Please pass this on to members of the Cornell community in the greater Washington area!

The Cornell Club of Washington is pleased to invite you to watch the men's hockey team take on Brown on Friday afternoon in an ECAC semi-final game.  We will be gathering at Fran O'Brien's Sports Bar at the Capitol Hilton in downtown Washington (1001 16th Street, NW at the corner of K Street).  The closest metro stop is Farragut North.  Coverage of the game is scheduled to begin at 4:00.  There is no charge to attend, but both food and beverages will be available.  If you are unable to be there when the game begins, you can figure that it will conclude around 6:00.

If Cornell wins, we will play in the championship game on Saturday at 7:00.  If we lose on Friday night, then we would play in the consolation game on Saturday at 4:00.  Either way, we will also be gathering at Fran O'Brien's for the Saturday game.

Should Cornell continue to win we would likely play in the first round of the NCAA championships on March 28th and 29th.

You do not need to RSVP to this invitation -- just show up!

David (and other DC area folks),

I may be wrong, but doesn't Friday's Cornell-Brown game (ECAC semifinal 1) begin at 3:30, not at 4:00? If so, I assume the good people at Fran O'Brien's will let us have a screen then.

I'd love to see people's best/funniest/most original excuse for getting out of their stuffy DC office early on Friday afternoon. :-)
