I'm always (happily) surprised at the metro (and local) bus network in this area, but will prefer to not utilize it myself ;) See you on Sunday.

:confused: And? :confused:

The date is what it is - personally, the game is a non-issue and obviously that's the case for others as well.

Attendee list updated ... I'll make reservations mid-week once the weather report for the weekend is a little firmer

Since we have options about when we hold events, I wanted to point out other conflicting events that will supersede an FT event. The date may be what it is, but we have some flexibility in settng the date don't we? ;)

The Dallas game at Fedex is probably the most anticipated/watched sporting event in DC. If you have options with future FT events, I think this is worth noting. @:-) For most sports fans in DC it is the opposite of a non-issue. My guess is no Redskins fans will be at the FT event. :eek:

Again - obviously a non-issue those that plan on attending. None of these events are planned based on everyone's convenience or schedule, that would be impossible. :rolleyes: Those that are available - attend, if no one is available (or everyone seems to be bailing at the last minute ;) ) - the event is cancelled. Pretty easy and has worked for quite some time. :cool:

The event on the 17th is to welcome visitors to DC. "We" (me as coordinator and them as guests) did coordinate the date based on our availability and schedules. :-:

When you schedule the next event, you can take sporting or any other event into consideration that you'd like to. @:-)

Ahhhh, well if the time best fits your schedule and the visitors schedule then the Redskins game is irrelevant. Just thought if you had options, working around the Redskins you would be more likely to get more people attending.

May be easier to make reservations as well. I found that Redskins games are the best time to shop, no crowds. I'm in as well, and it is closer to my apt than Tabaq is.
