Thanks to all who made it last night. It was great to catch up with our regulars and meet some soon-to-become regulars!
Hope to see everyone at our next event, probably at the end of March. Oh, and suggestions for a NoVA locale will be greatly appreciated.

Alas, I am going to be vacationing on the Cote d'Obscure (it is like Obscuristan, but with a beach) that week so can't make it.

Now that it's Spring, I thought it might be time to schedule another get together. The first 2 weeks in April look good for me. Any interest in a VA-based event?
Generally, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings, or Saturday or Sunday lunch seem to be easiest for finding a space that can handle a larger group. Anyone have a particular venue they'd like to recommend? What days are best/worst in terms of scheduling? Metro-accessible is preferred, but usually there will be several offers of rides to and from the Metro if a non-accessible venue is selected.
C'mon; who's interested?

Passover starts the night of the 6th, so that keeps the second wek out for me, but if you could do the week of the 16th, I'd jump at anywhere that had pizza or pasta

Okay, how about Tuesday April 3 at 6:30 pm, somewhere in NoVA?
Location suggestions?
If people are tired of Clarendon-Courthouse-Virginia Square, we could try something in Pentagon City-Crystal City-Alexandria. Or, to be true FTers, we could meet at one of the restaurants in National Hall at DCA: Sam & Harry, Matsutaki Sushi or Cibo Bistro & Wine Bar (for drivers wanting to avoid the parking costs, it's easy to park for free in Crystal City, take the Metro 1 stop, and quickly arrive at DCA).

I am cool with meeting in NoVA. DCA sounds ultra cool as it is one of the few remaining airports where you still can wonder around past check-in but before security/land side. I thought Matsutaki was a bit pricey. What about Cibo or Sam & Harry?

If you want to do Pentagon City or Crystal City, how about Sine Irish Pub, now that I no longer work for someone who eats there every night?
