If you decide to do it as a group or a few carloads, just call the Hilton, ask for the bar and tell us that you are on the way. I will find out before then if there are any big parties in the hotel that night so I will know how busy we'll be. The bar is nice, too, not huge, but sort of fancy though we do have the obligatory pool table. The only downside (for some of us - me included) is that one is allowed to SMOKE in the bar. Virginia, you know.
NOTE: The website is wrong. We close at 1am every night.
p.s. Anyone visiting their sister or otherwise missing dinner that night is welcome to come in with the group when I am buying that round. And bring your sister, too.

Wait a minute now! The drinks are free (ONE ROUND STATED IN ADVANCE BECAUSE I KNOW HOW WE FTers ARE! ) but the cigars are not. BTW, you cannot smoke cigars in our bar until after 10pm and you cannot buy them here. And it will not annoy me.
p.s. Saturday nights I am a waiter in the bar, not the bartender so don't go getting all excited about "strong drinks", etc.

An Update:
Barring work deciding that I need to go somewhere else (which does happen more than one would think) I can pretty much confirm that I will be able to attend lunch and a visit to the Udvar-Hazy Center.
BTW, I am staying at the airport Marriott.

Somewhat off-topic, but I hope that it's within the bounds of this thread since it's regarding meeting-up.
I'll be on my way to do a SEA-MHT MR (via SFO & IAD) on Sunday morning. Arriving at 6:07am on SFO-IAD #74, wondering if anyone flying in LAX-IAD that morning would be interested in breakfast.
My IAD-MHT leaves at 8:40am, so not much of a window, but I figured I'd ask.
Edit: Got my days mixed up.... thought that the MEGA-DO flew in Sunday morning, not Saturday. Doubt anyone would be at the airport that early.... disregard, sorry.

Don't worry! I will not order the Macallan and will bring cigars. Thanks for the offer of the free drink, it is very generous of you!

minor change for goalie-sis
she's still gonna join us for dinner and brunch but there's about a 50/50 chance that she will not be able to join us for the national air and space museum udvar-hazy center after brunch as she just got invited to go skiing for the remainder of the long w/e.

Does goalie-sis really want to miss out on the air and space museum? After all, that's where we're in our element!
