Too early to commit, but I'll keep this in mind. Have been unable to do anything very impressive with eqm offers because of other commitments, however. So no good stories to tell on that score.

Cactus Cantina on 21st June sounds great -- and it is even in my neighborhood, but maybe a far walk, depending on the weather.

There will be 25K in DEQM on AA, and 37K in DEQM on DL. That's pretty significant, but there's still a huge BIS component (ZRH x1, LON x2, NRT x1).
The "mother ship" for the new job is near LAX, and I'm out there every 2-3 weeks since Jan.....

New job here as well, but 0 travel w/ it, so I had to MR my way to a measly 2P. 
Anyhow, I'll have to move to the 'maybe' column, weekend camping trip w/ college friends on the Saco (PWM), so my attendance will be discretionary based solely on liver performance.

I will be in the area next week Tuesday to Saturday. Work during the day, but evenings free if anyone wants to get together for drinks and/or dinner.

Where are you staying? Any place/type of food in particular that you'd be interested in trying this time?

Arriving Tuesday afternoon. Staying in Crystal City, again. Convenient to Metro though. How about the Sine Irish Pub over at Pentagon City? Anybody else interested?

Crystal City is that tiny bit easier .... would Ted's Montana Grill work for you? Either way, I'd swing by on the 9th.
