any takers for Thurs 10th (dinner over beer and/or bourbon)?
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

...
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.

LA-->DC on the Wed redeye would probably be better for me in terms of professional dynamics, since I'm going DC-->SEA on 25 Feb ... LOTS of possibilities to meet up in this area, and some of the DC Happy Hour regulars might be interested as well
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.

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

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.

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.
