How about Sunday the 27th? It's the only date I'm fairly certain to be in town for this month as I expect I expect business travel to start kicking in.

As for where ... how about somewhere in the Tysons area? That's pretty central for most folks, and not too far from a metro station for those needing a lift.

I would be in the DC area on the 27th...so if anything happens, I would be up for something.

Sunday, Feb. 27th look like a possible for me. ^

As for location - the aforementioned Sweetwater Tavern is as close to a Metro as anywhere in Tyson's Corner so I'd suggest sticking with that destination!

27th!
Sweet Water!
Done! ^

You guys are really stuck on Sweetwater ... which one is are we headed to this time? 50 and Gallows near 495? (not quite Tysons but I believe there is one at the intersection)

and of course ... what time do you want to meet?

seoulmanjr Feb 9, 2005 9:12 am

The one on gallows? Man - I could walk there from my apartment! :D

I'll be coming, albeit a bit late - depends on what time you guys shoot for.

peace,
~Ben~

2/27 sounds good, I will be back from my IAD-SFO-NRT-SIN-DXB-FRA-DXB-SIN-KUL-SIN-NRT-SFO-IAD red-eye marathon, and might even be awake during the daytime.

I am sure the family will come along too.

:D You can't argue against GOOD beer and those Ozzie Rolls!!!

Gallows is fine - close enough to Tyson's! :p

FYI - the Sweetwater Tavern at on Gallows at Rt 50 is only about a ten minute walk from the DunnLoring-Merrifield Metro on the orange line.

I'll be there late since I have to take my girlfriend to DCA for her evening flight back to IAH. What time were you all thinking of getting it started? Can't wait to meet the DC FTers!

peace,
~Ben~

Looks like I need to check this thread more frequently.

You need to follow Gallows RD South toward Rt 50. FYI, you need to cross Lee HWY and there isn't any marked pedestrian crossing IIRC.

I work near by but on Sunday I have to drive 40 min...

P.S.
I guess I'm out of shape since it will take me about 15 min :D

pranu Feb 9, 2005 2:10 pm

Looks like we have a sizeable group going here.

They dont take reservations but they do take call aheads. BUT
they don't seat you until ALL in your party have arrived.

So I guess we need to know the time we are meeting and have a confirmed show of hands.

Sam! Where are you? :D

GoingAway Feb 9, 2005 2:53 pm

No more questions ...

DATE: Sunday, February 27th
TIME: 6 pm
LOCATION: Sweetwaters @ 50 and Gallows, Fairfax

I know of at least one person planning to take metro, if there are others let me know if you want a ride.

So far it's:

Early Dinner sounds good.
Other one works too.

Thanks for taking up the task of co-ordinating it. ^

El Boocho Feb 9, 2005 7:33 pm

I'm a maybe.

seoulmanjr Feb 9, 2005 8:43 pm

Put me as a maybe since I probably can't show until 7pm.

peace,
