Can you add a +1 on me as well? If we can do the Greene Turtle at BWI's Terminal D, I can use my lifetime mug there.

I'd like to propose a Post-DEQM Happy Hour and dinner the weekend of June 20-21. I'll be interested to find out which of us pulled in the most miles, and where everyone traveled to earn those miles, during the DEQM period that ends around June 15. Maybe the rest of the attendees could buy the winner's (or loser, if most of the miles were done in Y) drinks.

I'd suggest a centrally located venue in DC. The Nationals are playing Toronto in town both days. Saturday's game starts at 7:30 pm, while Sunday's game is an afternoon affair, which should be completed by 4:30 p.m. I mention that only for traffic-expectation and venue availability purposes.

So, who's interested? Where should we plan to meet? Which day works better for folks?
