Hello everyone~
Was fun meeting you all last night. Glen, I look forward to meeting you next month. I wont be around for the Dec dinner, but I'll most likely be here for 1/8 happy hour. Dave, I got to get those Hyatt details from you again when I have had less to drink, YGM.
See everyone next time.

Sorry I missed everyone last week. Just wanted to wish the Washington Crew happy holidays.
Also, Oz: not that I can take credit for it, but thanks for the kind words. I did notice you didn't say we're the most fun, just the most organized.

Just a timely bump as doubtless bhatnasx is sunning himself by now, while ya'll shovel snow.
We pass thru Dulles this Monday for a small pre-Christmas drinks gathering at Reston and hope to see a lot of folks Thurs Jan 8 at the Dominion.
We ended up getting the Dulles Hilton on Priceline which is a darn shame as thezipper will not speak to me for missing out on the Hyatt Dulles which "always" goes for that same $45 money. Not today anyway.

But on the 8th, I'll be sitting on a beach in Koh Phangnan, and I'll even pour myself a glass of bubbly while thinking about you all in DC

It was good to see everyone tonight at Clydes - we had The Linders, Oz & Joh, G2, OttoGraham, idealflyer, and Kokonutz. Unfortunately, no tazi, so gleff, you're not the common denominator like you had suggested earlier Tazi is just a figment of the FT imagination!
I won't be around on the 1/8 dinner/do, but will definitely be around for the February one (provided it's not on 2/12) - hope to see the usual crew and the some new people - hope everyone that came tonight enjoys the luggage tags!

Great group of folks at Clydes - and that is a perfect spot for any FT Doos in airport area, it really is.
Hope to see old and new faces January 8th at Old Dominion.
Many thanks to Sam for those great black leather Marriott bag tags.
Merry Christmas from La Paz Bolivia!
And as for that totally non-existent TAZI person ....

Shirley ... be pleased to meet you!
Sam ... enjoy the sun in Asia you lucky dog.
Alysia - 7pm will work perfectly for us. thezipper has kindly offered to swing by and pick us up at about 6.30pm or so.
We arrive that am, so anytime is fine. We are staying at Dulles Hilton which the Lindners tell us is real near that new Aerospace Museum, so we will visit there during the day .. anyone else been there yet?
Happy NYE (in 3 hours!) to all from Cuzco Peru.

Whatis the best way to get there by transit?
Cab from nearest Metro station (if so, which station?) Or sneaking a ride on a nearby hotel's courtesy bus form IAD?

Hello Everyone,
Happy New Years from BKK. My roommate & I decided to forgo the Khao San road area and ended up staying at the Bangkok Riverside Marriott which if you are ever in BKK, I highly recommend. It is quite possibly one of the nicest hotels I have ever had the pleasure of staying at. Granted, I haven't stayed at that many, but this place is great.
Anyways, Happy New Years!
p.s. - Don't Call Me Shirley, if you let people know where you're coming from, you may be able to either hitch a ride or get better advice. A cab will be expensive as hell. Worse case scenario, from the metro, hop on the cheap bus to IAD & take a hotel shuttle or a cab from there.
Have fun on the 8th everyone! See y'all in February!!
