Normally I would be up for this, but I will be on a train to NY (on my way to a crossword tournament) that afternoon. Have a glass of sherry for me.

I'm available and interested in a Happy Hour tomorrow evening. Anywhere in Crystal City works for me. Anyone else (in addition to violist) planning to join?

Wish I could, but I leave for London at about 4 pm, connecting on Sunday to a VN flight first to HAN, then for a month in Australia. Good business class fares LHR-MEL/SYD.

Also heading out of town.

We would love to join you guys but an evening in CC is not possible for me this week. I had a knee replacement a month ago and it is all I can do to get thru a day's work out here near Tysons Corner. :(

So we will miss you this time around but will be back the week before Labor Day.

Fri 18, 1645
 

Will be at Jaleo around 4:45 ... will be there for an
hour unless someone else (FlyerBeek?) joins, then
longer. You remember what I look like - Chinese guy
in the throes of early senility.

I'll raise a glass w you ~1400PDT from some winery or other in the REAL Washington (near ALW, where we are overnighting en route to Idaho for Eclipse Madness)

Shall we plan something for that week? I have a commitment Tuesday night but could probably make it another night.

We'll be there on Wednesday the 30th but will not be done until it is too late to meet. Thursday and Friday are clear if you are still in town.

Either Thursday or Friday is doable for me.

in terms of a venue, I have been wanting to try the all you can eat mezze at Ambar in Clarendon, but I am open to other suggestions.

You pick the day but just this time I request a venue a bit further west since I do not know how the knee will be holding up next week.

If you mean Ambar: Yes, it's good. Unfortunately, I won't be able to enjoy it with you all that week, as I'll be in Berlin until Sunday.

Last minute I know but I'll be in DC for work on Wednesday. I'm on an 8:10 Pm flight home from DCA and wouldn't mind a drink or two beforehand. I'll be free at 5 PM on

Let's see if anyone else has a Day preference.

Is the Tyson's area good for you?

We'll be staying at Tysons. We heard great things about The Dumpling House near Brine in the mosaic district
