Last Night

Post by **DonnaT** » Thu Mar 23, 2006 7:53 am

Well, I finally met Gracie last night. She said she had talked to Sharon and that she was doing fine.

We met with some others from the MHB forum, the occasion being that a couple of the girls from that forum were coming to the DC area on business for a few days.

There were 8 of us that met at a place called Freddy's Beach Bar in Crystal City (Virginia). 6 trans and 2 SOs. My wife didn't attend and I didn't dress for the occasion, as it was too soon after work, plus my wife didn't want me to.

The place caters to the Gay crowd, and I believe it is the only place in Northern Virginia that does so. The food was good, and we had a great time.

Our waiter was a trip, and we questioned whether he was even gay. I don't know, but we may have been the first trans group to visit there. He had a hard time getting drink and food orders straight, but we all thought it was funny, so his mistakes added to the atmosphere instead of detracting from it. He was dubbed "Larry the Cable Guy".

The owner came over and talked for a bit, and invited us back anytime. He then took a group photo of us with one of the girls' camera.

The table behind me had at least one guy that was infatuated by several of the girls, and he even gathered up the nerve, notably alcohol courage, to talk to Gracie.

Donna,
So many questions, how did she look, has she begun any additonal transformations, is she as pretty in person, did you tell her we all miss her? What was she wearing? Did the owner of the bar seems accepting of you? I know he said to come back anytime, but.......... did you feel comfortable in the place, was it nice. Do they have a dance floor or for that matter maybe a meeting room? What are the hours?
I responded to another girl from another forum from Fall Church she said her spouse is "her" best friend and they go out together a lot. I told her about the TG Pride weekend in Richmond, but I have not heard back from her yet! I am just excited that you got to meet Gracie!
Love,
Virginia

It's a little tiny place in Crystal City. Hard to find parking in the area unless you are familiar with it.

The owner seemed accepting. I don't know if folks have enough room to dance or not, but I seriously doubt it. Not big enough for a meeting room, so it's nothing like Fielden's in Richmond.

Yes, we felt comfortable there and it was nice, The food was good too.
