monitor has confirmed that he and Franny will be in Arlington on Monday, April 30, and will likely have a very early flight out the following morning. Given that, how about an event in Clarendon? I know it's technically DC's turn, but a NoVA event will make things a little easier for them. Who's interested? And suggestions on a venue -- please?

We've had a request for a venue in Tysons Corner on Monday. The suggested restaurant is Seasons 52, at Tysons Corner Center. monitor has kindly offered to pick folks up at the Dunn Loring station on the Orange Line and then return them there at the end of dinner.
Let's say 6:30 pm for drinks and 7:00 pm for dinner.
Who's in?

Only if they do not want me to take them to Rosslyn Metro or any destination in-between.
We are staying in Arlington near the airport and that is where we are headed after dinner and can drop anyone off anywhere along the way.

I sympathize completely. I'm contemplating taking monitor up on his kind offer, given his willingness to drop folks off at Rosslyn on the return, meaning no train change for me to get home.

I know about where you live and that is where I will drop you and will do the same for anyone else who has a home or a car parked in close-in Virginia.
ETA I can see Georgetown from my hotel room window so I would have no trouble even venturing over the Key Bridge (where can see that the traffic is quite light by now). Avis upgraded me to this enormous Buick and I can fit in three for the ride back.

Right now the pickup is set at the Dunn Loring Kiss 'n' Ride for 620PM. If there is anyone else going to be there around that time or if a bit later, post and then PM to me so we can trade cell #s and we will wait.
If it needs to be more than a bit later, let us talk to gvdIAD and GoingAway about moving dinner back a half hour or so.
