I wish I could make it but this week I am driving cross-country to California (flying back). Just finished day 2.
I'll be looking for the next event though.

Too tired from traveling - and have to recuperate quickly this week as I am also going away for the next 2 weekends. But for those who want to use public transport to get to the Rustico dinner, here is what Rustico says:
METRO
Braddock Road (Yellow & Blue Line)
Walking from the Braddock Road station:
Head north on West Street to Madison Street. Turn right onto Madison & go two blocks to Henry Street. Turn left walking along Route 1. Cross Route 1 at the McDonald's and go to your left along Route 1, veering off to your right at the bridge construction onto Slaters Lane. Continue down the hill, crossing Powhatan Street and continuing around the bend. Rustico is on the northeast corner of the intersection at Slaters Lane and Potomac Greens Drive.
Buses from the Braddock Road station:
The #4 DASH bus towards Fairfax Street stops right in front of the restaurant (www.dashbus.com).
From DC using the Metro Bus:
Take the 11Y bus from Farragut Square toward Mt. Vernon

Count me in!! Since I will have some time to kill after I get off work at 4:30 I'm going to head to the CRC at DCA for a couple free drinks. Anyone who wants to join me is welcome to come!

OK, count me in as well - I can make it after all.
PS - you can also easily reach the place by taking the GW Parkway, if the whole Route 1 thing sounds too complicated. All you need to do is basically turn right as soon as you see the first light on the Parkway in Alexandria (if coming from the North).

Alright - just called them - they dont do reservations after 6:30 - but expect to be able to handle a group of 10 odd at 7 PM with no issues.
So I guess whoever gets there first - if you could please arrange for a table for 10 (expandable to more) and let them know that "FlyerTalk" is there - then the rest can join you. Thanks!
And people - please bring cash
Just keeps things simple.

I swear I posted to this thread last night saying I was coming tonight.
It was great to see you all tonight.
8/8 works for me. Waterstrider too, I think.
