Hey I didn't get a YAY either :( ;)

I am honored to have gotten a yay!

I've been spending days sorting out major software, cell phone, etc, issues, and am totally bleary-eyed & now going into my busy time of the year for clients, so starting soon I'll rarely be on FT. I'm giving up Tulip Time Festival in Holland (100,000 of my closest friends LOL) to attend, so someone please just give me a heads up on what you need from me re: $$/yes, etc. I will be eternally grateful. I am so tired...

I haven't booked flights yet, but am thinking of booking one of the Crystal City Mariott chains - is that close to what/where we'll be, or should I look at something else? I need Marriott if possible cuz I can get 1 night free, but don't care which one it is.

Cheers.

One of the Marriott family of hotels in Crystal City will be fine. Saturday night's restaurant(s) will be on the Yellow/Green/Red lines on Metro. Sunday brunch is on the Orange line. You'll be able to get to one of the Hillwood meeting spots without difficulty. Friday's drinks/dinner will be downtown, near Metro Center on the Red, Orange and Blue lines. With the Yellow and Blue lines at Crystal City, you should be able to get around pretty easily.

here it is: Yay! :rolleyes: :D

I think I'm all Yay-ed out. ;) So if I missed anybody else, you're SOL. :D

I didn't get a yay! I just got a comment about how the tone of the party had changed or so...I wonder why :rolleyes:

Excuse me?!? Guess I'm just chopped livah or something :(

Yours and Tazi's YAY's were truly appreciated! no doubt about that!

Now, regarding *cough* 'others *cough*... :D

OMG the schedule looks very challenging. I normally miss 80% of the activities that are scheduled before 9PM or so.

Well dinner is at 8:30, so I expect you to at least make that event!!
