Speaking of plans for drinking -- FYI -- Johnnie Walker is sponsoring a series of scotch tastings in WDC during the week of the Freddie's. I've been to the one put on in SEA and it includes tastings of 5 JW brands, including Blue Label. I'll probably be taking them up on their offer again in WDC. If anyone wants info, PM me for details. Note: they state: "Attendance is not guaranteed. Attendance is on a 'first come first served' basis." And you have to sign up for a specific date/time.

Gosh, I sure wish I could do this, but I've got to be in PDX by Friday evening. So, I'll only be around for the awards themselves and anything that goes on Thurs. eve/Fri. morn. Sounds like a great weekend, though. I'll be there in spirit.

Just put a reservation on hold with UA SNA-LAX-SFO-IAD-SFO-LAX-SNA to maximize the mileage of course. Will ticket it tomorrow using $100 customer service cert.
I will probably stay the Thursday night close to the hosting hotel but then move to Park Hyatt or IC Willard depending what kind of deal I can get.

I Just Booked My Flights.
I will be at the Freddie Awards on Thursday night. I will be available all day on that Thursday prior, as my flight is scheduled to land at Washington National Airport on Wednesday afternoon, April 25.
I will be available all day on Friday if anyone is interested in getting together. I may be able to attend the festivities on Friday night, but I am not certain as of yet.
I am unavailable all day and most of the evening on Saturday.
I may be available on Sunday.
Here is my situation:
I plan on staying at the home of a relative in Gaithersburg, Maryland during my stay in the Washington, D.C. area. I do not plan to rent a car. However, just in case, I have booked a room at the Crystal City Marriott for Thursday night, April 26 and Friday night, April 27 at a rate of US$99.00 per night plus tax. I am scheduled to check out early Saturday morning. If someone is willing to share the room with me and split the cost — as I do not intend to spend much of my time in the room — I would be happy to do so. Simply send me a private message if you are interested.
I do not drink alcoholic beverages, so the bars and pubs do not interest me in the least — although I have been entertained in the past by watching others drink themselves into oblivion...
Please add me to the “Maybe” list for Friday evening. Thank you.

I, too, have made flight and hotel arrangements and have officially RSVPed for the Freddies.
I'm still deciding which of the post-Freddie weekend events I want to attend. At this point I am a "maybe" for both the Friday dinner and Sunday brunch, and will try to get my act together soon!
Thanks, skAAtinsteph, for organizing these things! ^
