Just b/c it starts at 7:00 some people can still arrive at 8:00. Thoughts??

You might want to coordinate an earlier start time with MrAOK and post it ... the start time was set by Tazi who has to work so she can't make it any earlier and I'm picking up SeeYa at IAD and she doesn't get in until after 7 pm (updated to say I just looked at her itin and make that after 8:30pm) and then we need to drive downtown, so we're already not expected until after 9 pm.

Danger, avoid Dulles access route!

I don't think you want to be in front of GoingAway on her rocket trip from IAD to DC that evening. :eek: :eek: :D

A half hour to downtown on a Friday evening with no traffic is about right ... OTOH, you're right -- you probably don't want to be the slow car in front of me :D

Will you be joining us at M&S?

Tomorrow night we all are going to be doing an FT Jail Do to visit our fellow DC area FTer who has attended a couple of the happy hours in the past. He attended the one we held in December across from Union Station and then the one in January that was held near Dulles when Ozstamps was in town. He's on the front page of the Washington Post today (and it's not Keith Alexander's column he's in). Or you can read about it in omni: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=331679

Come on, it's a joke about visiting him. Our fellow DC FTer is also in today's Wall Street Journal, LA Times, New York Times, New York Post, USA Today, The Financial Times, etc.

Why would you go see this schmuck????

It wasn't meant to be serious. This guy is scum.

Yep, last night when I was reading this article on washingtonpost.com, I thought that this guy's identity sounded very familiar (working for AOL as a software dev & living in Harpers Ferry). Upon further research, I determined it was indeed one of the FT people who has attended our happy hours in the past.

I might be interested in coming tomorrow, if y'all will have me. (Subject to vistors arriving). What's the scoop? Just show up at M&S at 8 and look for rowdy people?

You are more than welcome ... Tazi, are we meeting in the bar or are you making a reservation under the Flyertalk name?

Meet at the bar. I am hoping to get there by 8pm but it might be closer to 8:30 for me.

GoingAway Jun 24, 2004 3:22 pm

For anyone coming on Friday that doesn't know Tazi or SeeYa, take a look at the pictures here for the "Freddie Jr Handoff to Tazi from SeeYa" picture on the second row (Tazi is on the left).

Hope you find us on Friday ....
