I've missed the past two of these things, but will REALLY try to be at Stella's on the 12th - I think this is one of thezipper's favorite restaurants & I've never been there, so I'd like to check it out.
I've updated the first page.

Hi all,
I know this is a bit early, but I'll be visiting your fair city at the end of March. I know your monthly gatherings are normally at the start of the month, but anyone is interested in meeting up, I'll be game (assuming the place isn't too difficult to locate).
I'll arrive on March 26, and leaving March 31, staying at the 4 Points Sheraton, Downtown.

... I needed my clicker just to find the car a week or so ago and I'm usually pretty good with directions and knowing where I left the car 
I don't think I'll be able make this one ... see you in February or March.

Oh geez! I forgot how funny and completely insane it was trying to get out of that parking garage! For you folks not there, imagine four or five cars belonging to FTers (FTers hopped up on gobs of gooey chocolate!) trying to get out of a complicated underground parking garage after hours. There were three exits but two of them were closed for the night. Of course, those were the two we all attempted to exit first. So...we are are zooming around in an empty parking garage, making our own shortcuts trying to get the hell out of the crazy maze! Amazingly, no accidents!
By the way, I regretfully will not be making it to the DC Dinner this month. I have a 6am flight the next morning...ugh.

Shame I will miss you folks Jan 12 at Stellas .. those $1.85 beers sound like they are worth a trip over on their own ... please sink a few for me.
