Actually, I'm still here in DC - I don't leave til the the morning of the 30th. I just don't know if I can get out of work in time to make it out to IAD for the dinner so I don't want to commit - but from what I've read, it sounds like you'll have a good crowd out there (still curious whether tazi exists, so I may see if I can slip out a little early. I'm expecting a package to be delivered that day in Arlington, so I may have to go from Bethesda to Arlington then to IAD before I can even meet up. But I'll give it a shot!

But on the 8th, I'll be sitting on a beach in Koh Phangnan, and I'll even pour myself a glass of bubbly while thinking about you all in DC
