REMINDER: Dinner is tonight.
Whoever shows early, please request tables for 10 people (we may expand to 12 if we're all shocked by attendance of those usual no-shows
) ) They will likely want to split us up and that's fine, but the preference is to have the tables near each other. Thanks and see you all tonight!

This Irish pub and restaurant serves a fantastic menu of authentic Irish and continental dishes before a cozy wood burning fireplace and offers Irish music nightly.
2609 24th St NW
Washington, DC
202-462-7171
Metro: Woodley Park/Zoo
7:00 pm (but if you can make it earlier, meet up for a drink!)
This is near Jeff's hotel and fairly convenient to metro. It's hoped that parking isn't too bad in the area, for those driving in like me!

We need to work in No Va on Monday and, as usual, we are coming in the night before. Therefore, we will now come in a bit earlier on April 5 and would like to join the group at Clydes.
It is most likely that we will be leaving from the Westin right near the Ballston Metro and would have room for riders.

All over NYC and NJ a few weeks back, now Reston, and then Cairns next month!
Be great to see you again, and if anyone wants any goodies schlepped over from oz (or Moscow) please let me know via email.
See y'all next Sunday April 5 - the more the merrier - as always gre and others.
Well I hope I will, as I fly to Moscow Saturday afternoon, and allegedly get back in IAD at 3.30pm Sunday afternoon, just in time for a shower after 24 hours on planes and airports, and to this dinner.
Can I bum a ride with someone from the Sheraton Reston please?
And then do a quick turn next day to and from SFO, then back home a few hours later. 35,000 flown miles in a few days.
Glen

You would want to stay at the inner harbor. There is a brand new Hilton across from Oriole Park and Ravens Stadium. There is a Marriott right on the water near Fells Point and there are 3 SPG hotels in the inner harbor. 2 sheratons and a westin. There is also an IC.
There are some great restaurants near Power Plant Live as well as nightlife. Harbor Place has some up scale chain restaurants such as Uno, CPK, Cheesecake Factory, M and S Grill and Phillips Seafood a local seafood chain.
Please feel free to PM me if you need any other assistance in your visit to Ravens Country!.
