Just don't tell liveon777 what the initiation process is in advance. Remember -- you're sworn to secrecy.

To get the ball rolling on this, I recommend we go with Thursday, December 11. Union Station sounds like a fine place to meet (metro accessible & a parking garage). Does anyone have a particular restaurant at Union Station they'd like to eat at?

I heard that the DoubleTree in Crystal City has a revolving rooftop restaurant - Does anyone know if that's true - or was someone just pulling my leg?</font>

They're starting to put up the BIG TRAIN SET in the lobby of Union Station.
How can anybody pass up the chance to relive your childhood (and sometimes not so young) fantasies of a really big train set. Little villages, trees, snow...the works.
I vote for Union Station, and, of course, the Cap City Brewing Company.

Looks like the majority would be interested in Union Station (also, it's got a Metro stop) - now to determine the date - December 11 or 18? Both are Thursdays. I personally vote for the 11th - on the 18th I may have to pick up a friend at IAD, but I'm not sure what time her flight gets in and even if she'll need me to get her.

I just had visions of fraternity initiation all over again!
Harder to get upgraded there.
