Welcome all to the new DC Metro Area Happy Hour Thread! Our Happy Hours are not necessarily restricted to just Happy Hours - include lunches, dinners, driving in circles in parking lots and anything else you can dream up and get together a bunch of people for!
Our current scheduled get togethers are as follows
---------------------------------------------------------------
One handy tip: Do go to an ATM and carry cash with you - its always easier to settle a bill if everyone has cash - rather than having 10 credit cards on the table. And we can let the host/hostess (Grand Poobah) use a credit card if they prefer

Thanks pranu for starting up this new thread ^. Please count me in on the 5th.
OFF-TOPIC from the old DC HH thread: I also would like to plug a special FT get-together on the 6th at my place for any FTer who would like to play in a live poker tournament. Details are here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showp...&postcount=453.

Thanks for taking over, pranu! I was glad when headinclouds took over for me & I'm sure he's happy you're taking over for him!
Anyone up for adding yet another happy hour to this month's schedule?
I'm in SEA for the 1/5 happy hour & won't be able to make the 1/22 happy hour - but if anyone's around on January 14, and is available to hang out that'd be great!
Both keithguy and channa are going to be in DC on that Saturday night for a mileage run. keithguy's staying in Arlington off of Columbia Pike & channa's staying a bit further out, but he'll have a car. We were planning to meet up in the evening for drinks (9PM-ish, maybe a little earlier, maybe a little later??) either in the Ballston or Pentagon City/Row area - I'll post the details when something is finalized - however, if anyone is available & has suggestions, please post them...
Hope to see some people out on the 14th!

Thanks pranu for taking over. Perhaps this will be the year I actually make it to one of the Happy Hours

I sure hope you make it to the 22nd... given that I have you up there as the "organizer"

Technically speaking, that's a Sunday dinner, not a Happy Hour. :P

Technically speaking. I'll take what I can get - like most other people on the DC Get Together Threads - I still need to see you to believe you exist!

How to find the group?
If a new guy were to show up at say Grevey's on 1/5, how would he find the FTers? Secret backroom (with special knock)? Password? High sign? Secret handshake?
