Hope you and Lisa can get there. ^
I have plenty of sleeping tablets with me for this mad week. We can just slip a few to Junior in the 60 proof Vodka I am bringing, and you'll be off the hook for hours. Even days.
Doctor Spock has nothing on me re liberated New Age child rearing.

Hope to see everyone there.

I will try to attend - is a definite RSVP needed, and if so, by what time? I have only been to one other GTG and it was a few years ago.

RSVP is not required for DC HHs (unless noted) but always appreciated. What is GTG by the way?

FYI for anyone coming from downtown DC or Arlington: traffic is awful. It just took me about 1 hour to drive to Pentagon City from IAD. The cherry blossom peepers are out in full force and traffic is creeping along both out of and into DC. I'm allowing extra time, so hope to be there close to 6:30 pm.
I reconfirmed the reservation this afternoon, so the restaurant is holding our table. See everyone soon.

I guess I'll head out to Reston a bit earlier than planned.

We will be there but will also have miniLinder in tow (sorry in advance) so we'll probably grab a couple of beers and head out.

Thanks for organising this so well gvdIAD, and thanks to the 13 that turned up, and made it out to Clyde's Reston. 
The Half Price bottles of wine on Sunday's was QUITE a steal!
Great night, and chrisw and noirpepper and I are catching up for lunch today around the Reston area if anyone else is about. @:-)
And thanks for noirpepper for the ride back.
We seem to have a few likely starters for the Moscow flights -- more info on that here .

Apr 5 Happy Hour
Group,
My apologies! I completely forgot about the date! I've been finishing the basement work out room and was laying trim and never looked at the calendar. Sorry to have missed all of you but look forward to the next time!
