Any flyertalkers in DC between May 2nd - 8th ?

Hi Fred - where are you staying? Friday night is the only day I might have availability - I have a biz trip that week.

I'm (unfortunately) staying at the Embassy Suite Convention Center. I'll probably be busy for dinner but likely to go have a drink afterwards...

I'm around the 3rd (after 12:00 noon) and 4th (all day). I can't do the 2nd (family in town for a visit), and won't know my schedule for the 5th through the 8th until late next week (I may have to go to PDX for work).

I'll be in town house shopping the 3rd-6th

I'm free (mostly) on the 6th.

How about a Flyertalkers' lunch on any date that would be most convenient to the most of you ?

(sounds great to me btw!!)

fred - attending APA? - my partner is too - we're at the Park Hyatt - 5/3-8

I will be here May 2 then get back to DC on May 5.

Please PM me if anyone wants to meet up for a mini DO downtown.

My office is at 13th and G NW

Indeed!

;)

I'm going to miss you :(

Hope you guys can set something up.

As you might notice from the various responses, picking the date is the hard part!

I'd suggest selecting a date and time that works best for you, then the locals and others whose visits to DC might overlap yours will have something to shoot for (also, the sooner you get the details pinned down, the more likely people will have the chance to attend).

There are lots of potential locations in all price ranges in and around the Penn Quarter, which is a very lively neighborhood just south of the Convention Center.

I notice you mentioned a possible lunch get together. A word of caution: weekday lunches may prove quite difficult as DC-area FTers' offices are all around the region, not just in DC.

If the lunch is Downtown that is best as anyone can take the Metro to DC or around DC.
There are great restaurants near the Verizon Center (Clydes, Legal Sea Foods) or if anyone wants true local DC food we can go to Ben's Chili Bowl or to Maine Ave and have some crabs.

TO the OP:: Please choose a date that works for you and then we can tell you if we are free. The sooner the better as schedules can fill up.

How about lunch on Tuesday, 6th?

This seems to be the most convenient day for everyone!

I can probably make it for lunch in the Gallery Place/China Town area. My office is fairly close. The only problem is that my travel schedule has been extremely unpredictable for the last couple of months... so I may be out of town. Ben's chili bowl sounds good, too...
