waterstrider and I are in for Monday 8/3 in Tysons
waterstrider may be interested in a ride from the metro.
Or I could possibly offer a metro pickup at Dunn Loring.

DC Restaurant Week (summer edition) will take place this year from August 24, 2009 through August 30, 2009.
I've made two reservations for dinner (which will cost each person $35.09 +tax +tip +beverages, for a 3 course meal). There's one empty seat on Tuesday. Saturday's reservation is fully booked. There's a waitlist for Saturday.
A. Tuesday, August 25, 2009 at 6:30 pm at Morrison-Clark Restaurant, 11th & L Sts., NW (near Metro Center and Convention Center Metro stops), for a party of 6. Attendees:
1. gvdIAD
2. GoingAway
3. Nicholas
4. uva185
5. mot29
6.
B. Saturday, August 29, 2009 at 7:00 pm at SEI, 7th & E Sts., NW (between Archives and Gallery Place Metro stops), for a party of 4. Attendees:
1. gvdIAD
2. GoingAway
3. flugvergnugen
4. Condition One
Waitlist:
1. mot29
2. tonywestsider
I apologize for not being able to offer additional seats. Getting a reservation for larger parties is tough during Restaurant Week, and those restaurants willing to accept larger groups often insist on a non-refundable deposit, which I don't like to do (c'mon, what do you expect from someone who refuses to use Priceline for that very reason!).

I've made two reservations for dinner (which will cost each person $35.09 +tax +tip +beverages, for a 3 course meal), and have one seat to fill for each reservation. The first person to definitively confirm for each reservation is in. I will create a waitlist if there's sufficient interest.

It certainly was a very pleasant evening. It was especially nice to see some old friends that we had not seen for a few years and to meet some very interesting new people. I hope that we are in town for another one of these in the near future. This DC crowd does things that we do not see in NY or South Florida and we always have a great time.
Many thanks to GoingAway for putting this together and for gvdIAD for letting that little bird out of its cage.

Sorry, guess not -- I looked at the quoted message, not the one above.
So, if someone drops out...
May I be in on the 29th, please.
