Very cool! Just a short Ted ride from me... I hope to make it this year, assuming Randy is generous enough to extend an invite!^

No miles for me, but I'm still looking forward to meeting whichever FT'ers come to town for a visit. That is, if the work schedule cooperates.

aSiAnRiCk - If you're really concerned - try IAD (and maybe FLL) with B6 or UA, you'll likely have better luck.

After missing the Freddies the past two years I've had my work calendar blocked for this date for the past few months. It will take a lot to pull me away. Look forward to seeing everyone in April! (Assuming, of course, that Randy extends an invitation this year as he has been so generous to do the past several.)

Assuming Randy invites us this year, I will definitely be in attendance, especially since I can visit several clients at the same time!

Assuming Randy invites us, I'll be on the non-stop to Dulles. Someone mentioned Reagan, but for those of us coming from west coast we need the non-stop to arrive in time (and even then it will be scrambling). Rumor has it I might luck out & get a personal chaffeur Look forward to seeing everyone. Cheers.

Awesome news! I've had to miss the last two years because it is difficult to take off work. Now I won't have to! (If we are invited of course)

No miles for me and its even hard to justify a hotel (ok maybe not) but I can make it to work the next day if I can get out of bed

Unless my shoes start paying FF miles I won't be earning any when I walk across the street to the hotel...... Nothing like living 1 minute away!!! I'll start scoping out some possible plans / locations for some additional get togethers!

Hmmm. An opportunity to collect a long overdue debt. LOL.

I would love to host a party but:

1)there are no houses in this area, just high rises

2) my apt is way too small!

A few comments to help people out:
*if you are SPG, there's a Sheraton next door to the Marriott.

*Crystal City Metro Stop in underground connected to the Marriott which is only one stop from the DCA metro stop

More to come!
