I'm interested - don't know if it will be +1 yet or not.
I'll need to firm up after Feb 2 - I'm starting new job which will have me traveling to left coast on regular basis. Don't know when first trip is yet.

FYI:
DC Restaurant Week will take place from February 16 to February 22. Lunch is $20.09, and dinner is $35.09. The website, which seems still to be under construction, is here: http://www.washington.org/restaurantwk/
I'm currently holding a reservation for a party of 6 at The Grille at the Morrison House in Old Town Alexandria on Thursday, February 19, at 7:00 pm. (Reservations of 7 or more require prepayment of a guarantee by credit card, which I wasn't willing to do.)
Please reply if you are interested in joining me.
Interested:
1. gvdIAD
2. GoingAway
I'd also be available on Wednesday the 18th and maybe Tuesday the 17th if the 19th doesn't work for people.

If there's interest, I can also set something up for Wednesday the 18th or Tuesday the 17th. For other days, you're on your own as I'll not be in town.

Dinner Friday night (DONE!! PAST TENSE! OVER!) 
Yoko Japanese Restaurant
332 Elden St
Herndon, VA 20170
(703) 464-7000
Time - 6:30 (??)
Lewis (MCS) arrives into IAD around 8:30 and we'll move elsewhere for a drink after that. If you only want to meet for later, pm me and we'll exchange cell phone numbers so you'll know where we end up. It'll be somewhere near the Crwone Plaza in Herndon (e.g. worldgate area / watch tower shopping center)

I'm interested in the 19th, and possibly earlier that week as well - I'll be waitlisted, or maybe ConditionOne and I can start a second reservation.

It would be great if you could do that. OpenTable doesn't show any 4-seat reservations available at 7:00, but does show availability at 6:30. Maybe if you phoned you could get something at 7:00 (or if that doesn't work, let me know and I'll see about changing my 7:00 pm reservation to 6:30 or 6:45).
Welcome to DC, btw!

I take it back; I can't make it on the 19th. (Also, I hadn't yet made a reservation.) Have fun without me...

As he reminded me during the SIN Do (and someone else recently refreshed my recollection (thanks, GA)), jswong will be in DC for a conference in mid-March and would like to get together with local FTers for dinner one night.
After checking schedules, Monday, March 23, looks like the best date. He's staying at the Omni Shoreham, but is willing to travel anywhere Metro-accessible. Time and location TBD.
It's obviously early to commit, but I wanted to give everyone as much notice as possible.
If you're interested, and/or have restaurant suggestions, please reply to the thread. I hope to see many of you there.
