Depends on the day. Don't even try on Sat night, this Sun may be OK since Mon is a federal holiday, Mon early evening should not be too difficult. So, someone pick a day.

While this might not help...

Normally when I am up there and I dont find parking in a couple of rounds around those blocks I end up in the garage that is diagnolly north west of the restaurants there - I think it is the Hilton Garage - SUPER EXPENSIVE - but its the only choice. :(

Put me down as a maybe. 6:30 I might be able to do.

Maybe get out of work (yes I have to work :( )at 6 - need to be back at Tyson's at 8:30 - so this might just work out for me. Looks like my drought of DC HH might come to an end soon....

And I will update post 1 when I am back home tonight.

Damn - gotta choose Monday, right? :mad: ;)

I've got to go down to Winchester for a training on either Monday morn or Sunday night. As I was reading this thread from page 5, I was looking forward to meeting up with you all on Sunday night - but since it's on Monday, I can't make it now! :(

Maybe next time...

Some others might attest I am always in that mode! :p

I hope no cops are FTers - else I am just joking BTW.

I am a probable for that time, assuming that AA gets me into DCA close to on-time.

How long is the training course? You can get from Winchester into DC - you'd be travelling in the "opposite" rush hour direction.

Hey bhatnasx - Maybe you can be in NASCAR mode too :p

chtiet Feb 15, 2007 1:48 pm

I'll be there too if AC is not late!

Since this is so close to your home, I'll ask here rather than looking it up ... On the off-chance that I *gasp* decide to park and take Metro into the city -- where am I going? ;)

and how many are we up to for tomorrow?

The training I'm doing is a 2-day class. I'm training them on Monday & Tuesday. Usually, we're done by about 4PM each day, but I don't think I'm going to do the drive from Winchester (Exit 13 on I-81) back to DC then back to Winchester. Often times, I end up going out for dinner with the people I'm training too, so that probably wouldn't work.

And headinclouds, technically, my office is closed, but since I'm in a 24/7/365 industry, our field locations are never closed & the managers have to work on holidays too. Since it'll be dead at the location since it's a federal holiday & most biz people aren't using their services, it's a great time to train. I'll make up for working on Monday by taking Friday off as I'm heading to Killington do go skiing this weekend.

Small group tomorrow, 2 + 3 maybes.
There is a parking lot at 18 & California ST which is 2 blocks north ($9 flat rate).
For those who want to Metro, exit at the 20th & Q ST side of Dupont Circle on the Red line. At the top of the escalator, turn right and walk 2 blocks along Q St once you cross Conn Ave. Turn left on the diaginol street (New Hamp Ave --Argentine Embassy on left side) and walk 1 block. Turn left again and walk along 18 St for 6 blocks. Total walking time is about 10 min.

Parking on side streets may be difficult since the plowed snow/ice/slush is still frozen.
