Please schedule whatever you can but I figured I'd post that I'm targeting the week after that (or the one following) based on a request from someone at tonight's dinner and their schedule (and that they have something I so very much want to borrow for an upcoming trip

). Based on a different discussion with another FT'er, it'll be somewhere in the Fairfax area, exact time & place tbd.

8/8 and the week after probably work for me, at least as I can tell right now.

In general, Fri, Sat and Sundays don't work, at least until I get completely moved.

Oh, in that case isn't it Party time about now? If you're changing carpets, you definitely should do it before not after. Really, didn't mean to apply any pressure here - totally your call.

I'm waiting to hear back from DullesJason before posting a date & venue for the Fairfax area the second week of august.

Answer: Texas BBQ at Global_Hi_Flyer's place.
Question: Where is the next DC HH?

Apologies to Carnac, the magnificent.

wow you are putting him up for a specific menu

... anyway, I might be up for rest week, esp if it's in VA. What places were you thinking of and what dates?

I picked a terrible time to stop eating meat.

I'd be more amenable to it (soon) if the repairs to the back deck were finished. It's been 4 weeks now, no end in sight. There's really not enough furniture (read: chairs) to do anything inside.

Let's see how it goes.... maybe later this summer/early fall. Maybe.

Hmmm, guess I need to learn something about cooking Tejas BBQ, then. I'm a Virginia boy, don't know much 'bout Texas BBQ other than it's a large slab of meat and quite tasty...

It's restaurant week, fixed price for a 3 (?) course meal ... all the more reason to pick a place you aren't going to visit regularly.
