Sunday Redskins-Cowboys game watch at Cranberries
Cranberries, 5740 Silver Hill Road, Suitland, MD 20747

Stomp introduced me to a bartender from Cranberries he said was named, "Rockin' Cranberry". He said her real name is "GoGo Mia", she protested that. She wore a Redskins baseball cap.

Marquis Melvin, Mara, and DJ Skeet (wearing a Cowboy jersey) were there.

Ebony and Sonya sat at my table. Natalie joined us a half time. Natalie told Sonya and me about some interesting experiences with Ebony.

Nicole, the cover taker at Safari, was taking covers.

RE Angie, Cindy, Kiki, Shawn, Boo from Hypnosis, Derek Floyd, Ron Moten, Tracy S., LA, Chanel, and Peanut were there.

The result of this Redskins-Cowboys game was the same as the prior one, but this time the Redskins allowed no suspense: they led 28-0 at half time and won 35-7. Familiar Faces played after the game was over.

Junior worked the PA.
