Updated attendee list is here

Not sure if this place actually takes reservations, I'll let you know shortly. I plan to show a little early so will get us on the list asap if needed

Absolutely ... we have a count of 10 so far. Anyone else. :)

Our very own headinclouds "cased" Cafe Saint-ex for us tonight and has reported that its a pretty small place (a city type place). They don't accept reservations (well, they do for their lounge, but its their smoky nightclub on the weekends and in the downstairs/dungeon area so I'm not opting for that at all). I'm planning to go early, by 6 pm to start the wait for a table for our party. Feel free to join me if you're out early -- they do have a bar ;)

Also - I'm not sure if its available on Sunday (not a theater night) but they do offer a prix fix meal that goes up in price after 7pm - so if you might be interested, we should place orders soon after we're seated.

See you on Sunday.

-- if anyone would like my cell phone # to make it easier to meet up, please PM me. Once we get a table, I'll let them know that anyone who asks for "flyertalk" should be directed our way.

Hmm, but you're still coming so it must be the company ;) ... see you Sunday.

I would like to make this but I will have to be a maybe for now. I know I am working Saturday night but am not sure about Sunday yet. I will likely not know for sure until Sunday ... Deb, I'll call you then :D

Since the Dallas game at FedEx isn't until 11/5 (they are playing in Dallas on Sunday, you know??), this shouldn't affect Sunday's event. btw, I am a Skins fan and will be at the dinner regardless (if all else works out for me) to welcome our visiting FTers. :)

The beer is a 28 and the company is a 30 (unless bhatnasx shows). :p

I can probably make it on Sunday to the Cafe Saint-Ex. If anything changes on that, I'll let you know by Saturday night. This will be my first DC Do. :)

Seems like quite a few FT'ers in the DC area are not interested in that football game after all ... we're over a dozen now for Sunday's dinner -- I'll be there at 6 pm to reserve whatever tables we can get. If the weather holds, I'll be shooting for outside but they may prefer to leave us inside as the tables are a little bigger and we may take over their entire outside area which they wouldn't necessarily appreciate.

Please do your best to get there by 6:30. See you Sunday.

No Zipper. With or without guest ;)

Interesting piece in the NYT that mentions Saints-Ex.

http://travel2.nytimes.com/2006/09/1...tml?ref=travel

"Also popular is Café Saint-Ex (1847 14th Street NW, 202-265-7839), a bistro and lounge that plays punk, hip-hop and Brit-pop. It features Art Deco aviation memorabilia and an “in flight” menu that includes beef (rib-eye steak, $23) and chicken (wood grilled, $18)."

I want to fly that airline - that has an "“in flight” menu that includes beef (rib-eye steak, $23) and chicken (wood grilled, $18)."

Most fans like to watch the game as it happens, either in person (on 11/5) or on TV (9/17). A chacun son gout. ;)
