It looks like there's sufficient interest, so I've made dinner reservations at Tadich Grill (1001 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20004) for Wednesday, April 6th at 7:30pm. The restaurant is a couple of blocks from both the Federal Triangle and Archives/Navy Memorial metro stations.
Please update the wiki or reply below (if unable to access the wiki) to confirm your attendance. I've currently booked a table for 6, and can look at increasing the party size if there is sufficient interest. Please only confirm your attendance once you're absolutely certain you can attend (I'd like to keep the number of last minute cancellations below 50% this time).

Update:
Good news: the restaurant has confirmed their ability to increase the party size to 8. Everyone previously waitlisted as of this post is now confirmed (soupxxxx, jmsfla2002, and hkhan92 - that means you!).
Bad news: Due to emergent work travel, I need to head out of town tomorrow morning; I'll be unable to attend. mhnadel has graciously offered to take the lead on all future coordination for Wednesday night. Thanks, Miriam! Sorry I'll be unable to join and please contact mhnadel with any questions.

Last-minute-ish: having drinks/food with jrl767 and a FT lurker* at Heavy Seas Alehouse in Arlington tomorrow starting around 7pm.
*at least, I think; sort of the reverse of how this usually works, we've been friends IRL for a while via a different shared hobby but haven't bothered exchanging FT handles yet

apologies for the post-OLCI notice, but our calendars didn't firm up until this morning ... I'm planning to meet up with Zorak and a friend of his at Heavy Seas Ale House by Rosslyn Metro ~7pm tomorrow (Tues 17 May) ... other FTers are welcome to join in!

Good Afternoon - I wanted to introduce myself to you and hope to meet you one day if I have not already. I attended my first local event last month when Richard Kerr had his Travel Hacking 101 dinner in Clarendon. It was an excellent time and I hope there are more local networking events in the future.
I live in Silver Spring and work around Farragut North / Dupont Circle. If anyone ever wants to meet up for lunch or a drink, please let me know. I'm always looking to meet new people. Since attending my first networking event I have already made friends who I will stay in touch with as we travel. BTW my wife was upset she couldn't make it - someone had to get home and feed the dogs!
I am not currently active on Flyertalk - but I would love to become more involved. Message me or post here if anyone's interested in setting something up.
Thanks,
Dave
