I'll miss this Friday as well. In Kyoto o n a $595 RT DCA-HND with double miles. Actually missed LAX-HND because of a mechanical DCA-DTW so ended up in BE upstairs on a 74 DTW-NRT (row 77). Trying to decide if the extra EQMs are worth more than a 100% bonus on LAX-HND. I think the EQMs win out.
How about four sisters near gallows/29 in merrifield for dinner, with dunn loring metro pickup as needed (walkable for anyone interested too). I should be able to make it on friday.

Who could ever turn down the Four Sisters? It is one of our all-time favorites and this is a vote for that place. And, it is really close to Dunn-Loring on the Orange Line.

I vote for Thursday, I have to drink myself into oblivion Friday night since I'm on WN Saturday morning. Although I could do Friday, I'd just have to find a faster way into the city. So I'm not called a flake, I'm going to go as tentative.
I also need to do some mattress running w/ the promo. Good idear.

Just a word of caution: Lyon Hall is quite popular on weekends. I'm not sure what time you were there, uva185, but I've not been able to get a table by 7:30 or 8pm on a Friday or Saturday without a significant wait.
That said, the new in-laws coming to town on Friday so while the notion of many drinks is good and LH is stumbling distance from home, I'll have to wait for the next HH. We are talking Friday, not Thursday at this point, right?
