"Drinks & Dinner In DC" - Washington Friday August 9th
On chat last night a few of us set up a small meet to share a beer and a steak and a whatever.
Markbach and MDTony are signed up so far.
Joh and I will be arriving IAD at 6pm August 9, en-route to Easter Island. Thanks to a tip from Markbach, we snagged a special $89 rate at the Hilton Washington Embassy Row, which will be very well timed for the 50,000 HH promo.
Tony has a suggested meeting place within walking distance. Others seem to know this place VERY well for some reason.
Anyway, if anyone is about please touch base. We will catch a few sights downtown Saturday before our flight to MIA at 5pm, so can probably also manage lunch if that suits anyone better.

I say we get together at 8:30 or so for drinks on Friday. I figure that if Oz gets in at 6:00 PM, that will give him time to clear customs, get his bags, and then get into the city and freshen up before going out.
If you all liked my little bar before, we could meet there for drinks again.

mdtony - sounds neat. 
We arrive from a United SWU "Not-A-Stopover" (23 hours) in DEN this time, so no customs hassles at IAD. So if it suits anyone, we'll be able to be wherever at more like 7.30pm or 8pm.
thezipper ... have you flown Concorde yet or are you about to? Might have a spare BA bag tag to bring if you do not have one.

I am interested in joining you if I could. I am fairly new to FlyerTalk.
Ozstamps - I am going on a vacation with my husband down under for three weeks this month and would love to talk to you about what's fun to do in Sydney and Cairns.

Okay, tell you what. We had a great time last time at my little place, Staccato. It is within walking distance from where you are staying. Oz, if you're taking United, tell the flight crew that they can walk there from their hotel and that we'll give them 20 percent off their tab and that one of the guys who invested in the place is friends with a lot of their flying partners.
Joh, there you go, I'm trying to get some more women to come along!
Anyway, the place is located at 2006 18th Street. The cross streets are 18th and U Streets.
You can find more information on the place at http://www.staccatoonline.com/
See you there, folks! I am looking forward to it!

Oz - I will actually be in Washington attending the Amer Bar Assn meeting and might be able to stop by to say hi again (since I haven't seen you since dinner in Sydney). Would love to meet others. Please let me know where and when.
