I'm in Chicago all next week, but if anything is planned later, I'll try for it.

How about Rustico on Slaters Lane in Alexandria? They have a really wide selection of microbrews on tap.

I've been meaning to make a return appearance at a DC event. I might be able to make something on the 17th in Tysons if it's late enough (read 8ish). If it's in downtown DC, I could probably make something a little earlier than that.

I might actually be able to make one of these! I'll be in DC on the 17th to 20th, but I think Tuesday is the only night available for dinner. If nothing is going on, anybody know of any places near the hotel I'll be at - they have us staying at the Mandarin Oriental

You can't do better for dinner than CityZen (http://www.mandarinoriental.com/hotel/535000431.asp), in the very hotel where you'll be ensconsed. It's not inexpensive (far from it), but value for money is outstanding, especially if you go for the tasting menu.

So Tuesday 17th is final. And we have suggestions of Rustico and Tysons and a request for late.

Let me put things up on the first page.
