Nothing set up - we had a dinner last night and another one is planned for about a week from now. I'm sure individuals will post if they are available but I know a lot of folks are out of town or have plans this weekend (me included). Hope you enjoy your stay in DC.

I'm here in Crystal City until Saturday. Let me know if you get in on Friday. Sorry we missed thegrailer at Ted's. We really tried to find him or her and left a note at the hostess stand about Flyertalk. It was a good meal with good company. Nice to meet a couple of new DC folks (to me) and Monitor and Frannie, too. Thanks for coming out. I'll post again when I'm headed back to the area and maybe we can do it again.

100% here for EXP once today's flights post. Plus DL PLT renewed.... 175,000 qualifying miles. Earliest I've qualed/requaled as top tier ever.
I think I can make it Sunday, but will probably be late, with a chance of missing altogether. 5 PM is the only time my flight instructor had open for recurrent instrument training this weekend. If the weather is bad, or the lesson runs long, I may be hosed in terms of dinner. I'm on his books for next weekend, too (this is multi-session recurring training)....

Any more takers for dinner tomorrow night at 5:30 pm, at Cactus Cantina, 3300 Wisconsin Ave., NW, Washington, DC (one block north of the National Cathedral?
Looks to be a great group and we'd love to have more people join us.

I'm now a "will do my best to be there."
Now that my Katrina refugee parents from New Orleans have settled in Baltimore, I've rediscovered family obligations that used to be handled with cards and telephone calls. So, depending on when I get away from Fathers' Day with Dad, I'll try to get there.

Looks unlikely for me. Weather is good, flight instructor ready to go. We'll probably run to 7:30 or later. Thatll get me to Cantina too late (flight instruction in Manassas).
