I have a theory, and it's rather disturbing.
Back in July, I was going to pick up tazi for the DC gathering. (She was to meet up at Oz & Joh's hotel.)
In November, I was going to pick up suzy1k for the DC gathering.
In both cases, these FTers cancelled. Common denominator? gleff. I'm beginning to get a complex.

There was a time when a young man about town with a zippy open-top red sports car would NOT have this problem with attractive young ladies gleff.
Now I didn't want to be the one to mention this but .........
Back to the thread - I am going to see if we can entice mdtony out of his semi-retirement from FT dinners to join us at this Festive time if he is in town on one of these dates.

We have exactly a 33 minute SFO connect to the SYD flight, so if we miss the 7am ex IAD we are toast. We have slpper First Suites confirmed for the SYD flight, and the next day may not get those.
So I think we will again hit the Hyatt Dulles or Sheraton Reston type deal just to be safe.
But if downtown is the go, we can hook with anyone driving from Dulles neck of woods wherever it suits - West Falls Church etc.

Maybe an ozstamps special configured 747 with all F suites and cargo capacity replaced with Dom, Grande Dame, and Bollinger...

Jan. 8th isn't looking so good for me now as I will be working. However, I am off on the 22nd. If I leave early in the afternoon I can sneak into VA and avoid the worst of its' non-driving residents.
Did you decide where to go yet in Reston Town Center? I vote for Rio Grand Cafe

I just called Cap City and made a reservation under the name "Flyertalk" for 8-10 people arriving at 6:30. I think my friends Joe & Tony (lurkers that have usernames I think, but have never posted - and I'm sure they are reading this) may be joining us as well. Tony was a the Hotel Washington & Joe was Joe's Crab Shack dinners.
If you get there early/late, just show & say you're with the Flyertalk group.

Wait -- are we doing a table or the bar? I think the 50% off beer and appetizers are only good at the bar.

Not sure - I've never been there, so I don't know how packed the bar gets (if it's anything like Irish Times, I definitely recommend a table). I can change the table reservation to 7PM instead. The 1/2 price apps & beers only go til 7 anyways. Let me know & I'll call back.

According to their website for another one of their locations:
Enjoy $2.50 hand crafted brew pints (bar & restaurant)
and half price appetizers (bar only).
But anyway, this place isn't usually that packed. I've been there several times. The last time I ate there was during Thanksgiving week and there were seats at the bar.
