I'm going SEA-LAX on Tues evening 8 Mar for work purposes on Wed ... I can get the Wed redeye to CMH (very decent A fare on the flat-bed 763 over ATL => obvious SDC-via-JFK possibilities); already booked the DAY Marriott for Thurs night

Count me as a definite. I assume you have my cell phone number?
That would be great. I will have to be a "maybe" for now until some work travel gets scheduled. Should know more in the next couple of days.

If I'm around I'd love to meet up. I assume you're referring to the Marriott just off the UD campus by Carillon park. There's a brewery in the park now that brews in the German tradition. I haven't actually tried their beers, but I went to an Oktoberfest event that they hosted. Weird story, you couldn't get their beers unless you sat in the restaurant, but the outdoor area had several tents selling actual German beers.
The brewery in Carillon park is so-so. Interesting atmosphere, but the beer is pretty "meh". Would be a great place to hang out if they had some actual German beers to drink. Sorry I missed out on their Octoberfest event.

Actually, I'll probably end up flying into RIC, staying at a friend's house in the Fan not far from your son, and driving up Thursday. I'd probably be able to meet the group sometime Thurs-Sat evening (or afternoon) depending on the game schedule.

I've heard the same from friends. It looks like the Germanfest Picnic has been scheduled for this year on the second weekend of August. http://www.daytonlocal.com/things-to...illon-park.asp

I can definitely vouch for the beers at the four downtown breweries - Dayton Beer Co, Warped Wing, Toxic, and Fifth Street. Fifth Street is a co-op brewpub with a full menu, and Warped Wing recently put in a restaurant. DBC is the best for watching sports and is the "home" of the local chapter of the US Soccer supporters club; it was standing room only for the Women's World Cup matches last summer.

GRALISTAIR and I are meeting for dinner at Warped Wing tomorrow (Saturday) at 1900 in case anyone wants to join.

since my 10 Mar plan has evaporated, I am now seriously considering a standalone trek from DC the following weekend ... it remains to be seen if I'll be able to get in Thurs night or Fri morning to catch up with my AF colleagues at the base on Fri, but Fri and/or Sat (18th/19th) have high potential for FT socializing if there is interest from the Dayton/Wright-Patt community

I should be available 18th/19th for socializing. Nothing on the calendar as of now. Let us know how things shake out.

I'm available for socializing as well. I won't be able to commit the whole weekend to activities like a full-blown DO.

When you walk in, the bar is straight ahead. The entrance to the restaurant, Spent Grain Grill, is on the right between the front door and the bar. Let's meet in that area right outside the restaurant. I've been to Warped Wing many times, but I've never tried the restaurant which just opened in Dec.

Perfect. See you tonight.

At Warped Wing with GRALISTAIR and goodeats21 enjoying pizza and beer. BobBell was with us too. He left before I posted

I had a great time tonight at the Warped Wing in Dayton. Great to throw a few back with Mattp1987, GRALISTAIR and goodeats21.

Agree on all counts. Pizza was OK, Beer was good, company was great.

Right now that weekend looks pretty clear for me

At this point it's probably only really applicable to locals, but Zorak, goodeats21, and I are meeting Saturday evening the 19th for drinks and dinner. I know Zorak is planning to do some of the aviation sites during the day Saturday and/or Sunday; I may join him for some. Let us know if you're interested.
