It looks like a mileage run may bring me to lovely ANC for a few hours on Friday evening. (Unfortunately I already have New Year's plans so I won't be able to extend the stay to make it to the DO Saturday night...)
Would anyone like to get together for a beer/dinner sometime Friday night?
ETA: If no one's around I could instead book the 5PM return and get home 9 hours earlier
So either way could work out well.
