Yes. I think I am a lifer at that DO (4 or 5 years now?). Sign up for Sweet Willie's dinner, it was great last year (and he is a good guy too). The thread is in the CommunityBuzz section

Anyone take advantage of the Turkish Air (IAD-IST) Y fare? Just curious.

Short notice - in town thisweekend 10/17-18.

I find myself in DC this weekend and was wondering if any FlyerTalkers are around for probably Sunday brunch (noon? later?) or possibly Saturday dinner (not too early, closer to 8 pm).

As for location, any suggestions welcome, I'm not familiar with good places to go.

Any interest in a year-end get together? Something between December 7 and 17 maybe? Weeknights might be best as weekends this time of year can fill up quickly. I'm also open to venue suggestions.

there's a new brewpub (Sehkraft) about to open in Clarendon (Garfield/10th & Washington, about 4 blocks from the Orange/Silver Line station)

Very exciting! If they really do open Monday, I'll stop in and check out the place.

The 10th or 11th would probably work best for me; 14th is just barely possible. Trying a new brewpub always sounds good.

We're also for that and the opening night (if it is this coming Monday) or also the next days 24-25Nov would be good.

And now, taking all of this in chronological ordert:

We are in 14-16Dec and probably a lot more during the first half of the month since we have a work emergency that will require our presence until we have put out the fire.

Mondays seem to work well, so let's shoot for December 14 (hopefully it'll work for you, mhnadel). Clarendon/Courthouse seems to be the frontrunner for location. (At some point, I'd like to return to the Mussel Bar in Ballston, but let's save that for 2016).

If interested, please add yourself to the wiki. If you can't access the wiki, post here and someone will add you.

Another possible venue for our December get-together (from ARLnow.com):

The crew behind the new Texas Jack’s Barbecue hopes to start serving diners near Clarendon within the next two weeks, giving them a comfortable place to eat while going beyond expected barbecue standards.

The restaurant expects to be fully open shortly after Thanksgiving. It occupies the former home of Tallula and EatBar at 2761 Washington Blvd in Lyon Park.

We will be shooting as well from a flight due to arrive DCA at 406PM. As before, a three hour delay will cause our shots to misfire.

I will have zero excuse for missing that, since I live three blocks away. More than once, I wondered if our baby monitor had enough range to be used from EatBar

Count me in for both venues - likewise in walking distance.
