Well, I suppose unless people post to the contrary within the next day, we can make July 24 official.
Wow, if only I could confirm travel plans this far in advance, too!!

I should have said "7/24 is clear on my calendar now and I'll show up as long as I don't have to be out of town that day!"
Of course, I have a few 'potential' trips between now and then which haven't yet materialized. So it's possible I could be called away.
But I don't know of anything at the moment... and provided I'm here in town, I'll definitely turn up since (a) we have a visitor from a far away land and (b) it's not being held in Maryland!

gleff, I'm in a similar boat:
-- a buddy arriving from Italy Tues., leaving for Mexico Wed. on the new CO service to Morelia!!!
-- non-refundable ticket for myself on Friday
So, it doesn't look like I'd squeeze another trip between Wed. PM and Friday. That's why I know I can commit.

TribeFlyer, sorry we won't see you. 
But, if TribeFlyer, gleff and ozstamps have all said July 24, then I guess July 24 it is.
Have we decided on the location???

headaintheclouds, you're more than welcome. I just said 12 because they may want to throw a smaller group into the mix to wait for tables.
Look forward to seeing you there!!

VJ- I missed the earlier threads in this but if I read correctly, there's a FT happy hour tomorrow night (Thur, 6/12) in Bethesda?
If yes, count me in.

Anybody DC folks have UA or similar Free Ticket voucher to trade for a US one???
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum...ML/011254.html
Trying to fly mom from MSP to SFO, but US doesn't allow connections via PIT/PHL/CLT-- but the voucher requires US metal, not UA codeshares.
I'd prefer to trade in person today or tomorrow. Thanks!! See you tonight.

The DC crew again enjoyed a fine evening of conversation and mileage tips---- unbeknownst to us, the CO/DL/NW partnership news hit the presses as we were meeting, so we discussed pros and cons of each-- not knowing that we would become bedfellows soooo soon!!! 
The mass has spoken: the July event will be at Potowmac Landing. The first post will reflect this info. Potowmac Landing is not immediately on Metro, but within walking distance of DCA-- later we will post particulars on transportation.
