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

Danger, avoid Dulles access route!

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.

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?

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

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 ....
