Thanks! First post has been updated.

Pranu - do you mind calling ahead & seeing if they can do a reservation? Not sure what our final count is though...I recall our last time there was a tight squeeze.

I've got to be up in Bethesda in the morning & early afternoon, but will be taking the rest of the day off, so I can attempt (and I do say attempt, because you all know how lacking I am in my abilities to be anywhere on time) to get there early if anyone else wants to meet up earlier...

Looks like I'm in!

I've never been to one of these before, but since I work a block away and have no excuse for missing, please indulge the newbie: how will I identify the FT crowd?

Uuum. If BJ was there, you would look for someone with a United UGS card stuck to his forehead.

Look for a large group of folks or just ask the host/hostess for the FlyerTalk table.

I will be there and I usually wear clothing with a Florida Gator motif if that helps.

Yoo Hoo .. walking distance for us .. thank folks. ^

I was in there yesterday looking at the $4 million USA stamp at the National Postal Museum next door. :D

I have organised a special colour printed Cap Brewery pint glass for all attending for dinner, via some coupons I acquired. coff. ;)

Hey - Didn't see this until now. Have had tons going on and not been able to devote due to FT as I should :D

Do we know how many we are going to be? Guesstimate? I can then call up later this evening.

As ozstamps mentioned, I'm definitely in (though I doubt that the menu will be quite the same as at the Breakfast Creek Hotel or Pier Nine in Brisbane.)

How's on-street parking around Union Station on a Friday night?

surely you jest :D try the parking garage or use metro.

There is a reservation for FlyerTalk for a group of 25 for 1930.

Since we are bigger than a group of 8 there will be a 20% gratuity included and it will be once check and not separate checks.

So please please please get cash in small bills!!!!! :D

MrAOK Jun 2, 2006 6:34 am

I'm going to try to attend

Tough choice. ;)

7.30pm we'll be there. ^

Cap Brewery is right next to National Postal Museum and right by Union Station.

Tazi can have our imprinted pint glass if she wants it. Not a great product to schlep back 10,000 miles in suitcases. :D
