Just be aware that AFIT graduation is at the Museum the evening of March 24. It doesn't start until after closing time, but there might be larger crowds from family members in town for graduation. I'll have to pass on meeting up, unfortunately. Thursday will be spent finishing packing my moving truck and then at graduation, and I'll be hitting the road as early as I can Friday. I have quite a bit of driving to do before unpacking my truck and then flying SAT-LAX-BNE on Sunday.
P.S. - Leaving Dayton Friday morning and flying out of SAT on Sunday? I hope you have someone to help you with driving/unpacking the truck!

I'm local so pretty flexible. March 11-13 probably wouldn't work for me, but my schedule is mostly open otherwise in March. April 8-9 I'm out of town.
I actually haven't made it to the Century Bar mentioned up-thread but am anxious to try it, having received many recommendations from friends.

That weekend is still open for me schedule-wise, although with work I am probably looking at a red-eye on Friday night and an evening flight out on Sunday, which right now looks like $428 in UA kettle class or $499/37.5K pesos into CVG. I might have an ace up my sleeve though, need to check on something...

I need to look at my bicoastal work split ... currently thinking to fly WAS-SEA on Thurs afternoon, attend a cybersecurity colloquium the morning of Fri 18th, and work from home the following week ... if I can promote that by a week I might be on a jet to DAY/CMH/CVG Sat morning (maybe even Fri afternoon or redeye; search the Delta Lounge thread for the key phrase "supportive partner" ... she's met the two gentlemen behind this plan, and certainly understands my interest in joining in the social activities)

SFO-CVG dropped to 30K pesos this morning so I went ahead and grabbed that just to have something in place, since I can always cancel it later...

I'm not committing to anything quite yet, because I'm not sure how things will be then, between school and such.

I'm having trouble nailing down a weekend that really works for most of us. I'm still available the middle two weekends in March, but it sounds like numerous people have issues with each of those. If we don't get a DO together by the time I leave I'm still happy to meet any locals or visitors for drinks.

Nice to see this thread pop up occasionally.
If I am in town, I am always ready to join some FT'ers for drinks and nibbles.

I would like to go. It just seems the Wright thing to do.

I'm going SEA-LAX on Tues evening 8 Mar for work purposes on Wed ... I can get the Wed redeye to CMH (very decent A fare on the flat-bed 763 over ATL => obvious SDC-via-JFK possibilities); already booked the DAY Marriott for Thurs night

If I'm around I'd love to meet up. I assume you're referring to the Marriott just off the UD campus by Carillon park. There's a brewery in the park now that brews in the German tradition. I haven't actually tried their beers, but I went to an Oktoberfest event that they hosted. Weird story, you couldn't get their beers unless you sat in the restaurant, but the outdoor area had several tents selling actual German beers.

LA-->DC on the Wed redeye would probably be better for me in terms of professional dynamics, since I'm going DC-->SEA on 25 Feb ... LOTS of possibilities to meet up in this area, and some of the DC Happy Hour regulars might be interested as well
