Mexican food and Margaritas? Um, well, OK, if I have to... :D

Saturday Afternoon
 
A few of us are discussing going to the Spy Museum on Saturday, shooting for the 1:30 pm timed entry slot. www.spymuseum.org

You need to purchase tickets either in advance or try for them at the box office (no guarantee of availability if you wait till Saturday). The tickets specify the time you can enter the museum and there are a set number of tickets available. There is the standard museum and a special exhibition as well. I tried the ticketmaster link and it looks like the ticket is $14 plus a $2.75 processing charge (I hate ticketmaster) for the standard exhibition PLUS $2.00 processing and extra for any special delivery :mad: . The $14 ticket comes out to $18.75, not sure if they also charge any of the extras at the museum or not.

It's about two hours to go through the museum itself and the special exhibition has an estimated viewing time of 1 hour 15 minutes, and costs additional.

Please post if you're interested in going to the spy museum. Also if you'd be interested in meeting around 11:30 am for lunch beforehand. :)

Museum -- buy your tickets at http://www.ticketmaster.com/search?keyword=spy+museum the 1:30 pm timed entry on 5/14

What, the CC Hilton doesn't have a hot tub? Rats, I was counting on YOUR hotel having one, since I doubt the Homewood Suites does....

Well, I just left ANOTHER message for the woman from the Nationals to find out where in hell are our Saturday tickets. No way to get out of voicemail to speak to an operator, and if you call the main number, you get put on indefinite hold.

She updated her voicemail this morning to include the date, so it's not like she's not there. I am very unhappy at the way we are being treated by these people, enough to send a seriously unhappy letter to Tony Tavares after the tickets are in hand.
