Would love to come

Will have to look at the itin!

MRSTARALLIANCE, you went to the wrong washington area this week. You must come to the real washington happy hours!!

Darn, f***ed again, as I am out of town Mon-Thur usually of each week.

I do have the luggage tags, however.

Where is the next DO?

I gave the last of the Aman Marriott luggage tags to thezipper to distribute at the Freddies. The April DO is at the Key Bridge Marriott at their 14th floor steakhouse. See the first page for detailed information. As for May's Happy Hour, it'll most likely be on the 6th or 13th - not sure where though, but most likely in DC or NoVA.

When the late Thur. DO s happen, I am game. Other than that, difficult to do.

Just a little bump so I can get an idea of how many people are coming so I can make reservations for dinner. I know we still have a few weeks, but I'd like to get an actual count by April 5 or 6.

Currently, we've got:

bhatnasx (me)
CapHillFlyer
G2
gleff
thezipper
headinclouds
idealflyer

Maybe List:

ElBoocho
MyMiles2Go

Going Away won't be able to make it due to work.

Bump, update, and thinking about May
 

Hello all - Glad to see FT back into action!

I just wanted to bump up this post for April 8th - if we can get a headcount a couple days earlier, that'd be great!

Also, gleff e-mailed and told me that Techgirl, one of our wonderful Moderators for CommunityBuzz, will be in the DC area from May 12-14. So he asked that our May Happy Hour be scheduled for that time frame - currently, we're looking at 5/13, but it may be 5/14 - he'll update us & I'll post it.

So, if anyone has an idea of a great place that's close to an Arlington metro stop (ideally, at gleff's request), toss it out there for May.

There are quite a few restaurants near the Ballston area as well. We did Crystal City last month, are doing Rosslyn this month, so if anyone has any suggestions that may be near Ballston, that might be a good idea. I think Gaffney's Oyster House used to be iDine, but I'm not sure that it is anymore - but it's a decent bar/restaurant nonetheless.

See you all on the 8th!

I'll be there Thursday. My vote for May would be the 12th since I leave town on the 13th, but don't know if that is even an option for techgirl or anyone else. Also, you might want to consider Clarendon for something different, there are a bunch of restaurants in that area and there is a metro stop.

What's Late?
 

We're usually around for 2-3 hours - I don't know how 'late' you are looking for, but you could always drop in for a drink instead of dinner. Just a thought.

Just another quick bump...
 

Still trying to get an accurate headcount - Unfortunately, FT Community isn't as visible as it used to be, so I'm hoping those who are interested, see this & post back here - Right now we've got 6 definites & 4 maybes - anyone else?

It's really good food!

Count me in for Thursday. I hope there will be US Airways FF as I have some questions about orphan miles.

Thursday would work great for me... I will likely fly in on Wednesday am and out on Friday afternoon.

I'll be in the Arlington area (Glebe Rd) but as long as someone can spin me in the correct direction, I'm game to go anywhere.

I'm in!
 

Count me in as well, perfect to have a happy hour just 20 minute walk from home. :p C-U there

You'll literally be down the street from my office, so I'd be happy to pick you up.

Can't Make It Tonight
 

Sorry, I've been on vacation the last two days and work is going to slam me today so I'm going to pass on this evening.
