The Doubletree has been out there as a possible HH location for so long, let's finally visit it! As far as dates, my choice is the 11th but either would likely work for me.

Cheers.

Bump - March 11 works best for me as well!

Sorry we missed you Jason. We had thezipper and his friend who was visiting us all the way from Taiwan, gleff, Alysia, Don't Call Me Shirley, & East Coast Wing.

Details for next month are posted already and we just need a vote on the first or second Thursday of March. Also, everyone okay with the Doubltree in Crystal City?

I vote for March 4. Doubletree in Crystal City is great--it is near the metro.

I can't make it the 11th but I can make the 4th, so I'm for the 4th.

Sure, they're Etymotic ER4P earphones. They fit in your ear not over your ear. I like them because 1) they cancel 25db of noise (this includes engine noise AND crying babies/noisy neighbors, etc), 2) they get rave reviews from audiophiles for sound reproduction, and 3) I can sleep with them on with no problem (even on long flight to HKG, especially in 15A after a bit o' the bubbly http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif)

It looks like the majority can either make March 4, or don't really care. So, I'll post March 4 on the first page. See you all on the 4th!

The more the merrier. If your unfamiliar with the area, you can take the blue or yellow line and get off at the Crystal City stop.

I have an 8am departure from DCA so I'll probably just end up booking a room there and get some extra HH points to boot http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif - look forward to meeting you all

March Happy Hour

When: Thursday, March 4

Where: The Doubletree Crystal City's Revolving Rooftop Lounge

Time: The usual 7PM-ish?

***

This hotel is easily accessible by Metro & National Airport - so if you're flying through DCA, stop on by, or if you're from anywhere in the region that Metro services, stop on by!

According to Ozstamps,

You folks are THE most organised and friendly Flyertalkers from any region of the USA.</font>
So, there you have it - if you've never been to one of these, you should join us in March!


I should be in town so see you then!!! Sounds like a great location and I look forward to meeting folks!

SeeYa Feb 24, 2004 7:42 pm

As a continuation, I'll be in DC on the next night, Fri the 5th. If anyone is going to miss out on thursday, or is interested in a re-do, let me know! I'm staying at the Hyatt, but anything close to the Metro would be ideal. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

MRSTARALLIANCE Feb 24, 2004 7:58 pm

Just arrived back in NZ, Can't wait for the next one http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Bring on March!
