Thanks - we usually work around what is in there, not what is not in there. ;)

Left it too late to get a book ordered now tho as we are in BNE for another day.

Hmmm...an opportunity to talk with a crazy Aussie in DC. :cool:

I'm flying back to IAD from MSP on June 2nd but will see if I can get back earlier than originally planned.

I will throw out Rosa Mexicana or Clyde's at Gallery Place as a suggestion.

Will,

Maybe you and I could carpool? Maybe not as I'm flying back to IAD on June 2nd... maybe yes if you happen to be leaving from work to go to this event.

So, who is the crazy Aussie that seems to be also attending?

Just got back from OzFest #3 in Brisbane today where 2 x FT'ers from DC attended .. one of whom - gvdIAD tells me he will make this DC Doo on Friday. :D

Do we have a venue agreed upon yet?

And a set time? I will need to standby for an earlier flight and need to know what time I'm shooting for IAD arrival.

David - why don't we agree on the TIME as say around 7.30pm if that will fit your movements pretty much, and from memory seem to be a pretty convenient time for most folks on Friday nights? Later is no issue whatever for us if that suits your flight etc.

As to location if there is a large parking station around Union Station as someone suggested, maybe one of those places around there might be the go - but we really do not mind - over to you guys, but for Friday and a dozen or so folks, might be an idea to settle on something now for sure, if they can guarantee a booking? In fact I'd suggest anywhere that can agree to a 7.30pm booking gets the gig. @:-)

We get on a plane to SFO in 2 hours so over to you locals to decide. :D

Isn't there a Capitol City pub right next door to Union Station - metro accessible via Union Station & good parking.

I would recommend somewhere that's willing & able to take reservations on a Friday night (Friday night in DC when the weather isn't too bad can be a tough time for a large group to show up at a bar near Capitol Hill).

ozstamps May 29, 2006 6:58 pm

bhatnasx - the voice of experience in organising DC doos. ;)

That Capitol City sounds fine with us if others like the idea. @:-)

If they will accept a booking lets aim for that?

I was going to suggest Pizzaria Uno in Union station as they have an upstairs room for parties, etc. and then head over to Cap City after the Friday eve crowd thins....

MileageAddict May 30, 2006 6:37 pm

Do they serve alcohol and take reservations? If so, that's fine by me.

Sorry for being MIA folks. Been a bit busy. I dont know if PIzzeria Uno will be able to hold as many of us as I THINK are going to show.

Lets to Capital City Brewery. Worst case scenario - there is tons of room around the bar.

7:30 is a good time as suggested earlier.

2 Massachusetts Ave, NE is the address.

Our Capitol Hill location is located right across the street from Union Station and a red line Metro stop. The U.S. Capitol is only a brief five minute walk away.
