Look forward to it.

Any suggestions from locals for a venue around the Reston area?

That Clyde's place in Town Center has been pretty good in the past for FT gatherings, as one suggeston. Easy parking etc on Sundays.

Inexpensive, and quite good food and service, and easy to find.

Well, since Jeff (jswong) said upthread that he'd be there early to enjoy a couple of drinks and "ask for a table of an appropriate size," I think it's safe to assume that the table will be under his name.

Actually, it really won't be in anyone's name as reservations are not accepted. I have been told that its a smaller place, so looke for the large group of people and you will find us! See you all next week.

Sadly, I will miss you this time. The MileageAddict family will be in Peru while you are in the suburbs of Washington DC.

Any more potential attendees for dinner with jswong on Monday, March 23?

How about dinner with ozstamps on Sunday, April 5? Should we go with Clyde's in Reston? Would 6:30 pm work for everyone? I can offer a ride from EFC Metro, should anyone need one.

Indeed it does. Maybe one of our Baltimore/Annapolis locals can take the lead on this, since I'm not that familiar with what's available in the area.

Do you have a specific time on May 9 when you're available, boxo?

I arrive 10pm on the 8th and depart 6pm on the 9th. Haven't thought about where to sleep yet and don't know a thing 'bout Baltimore.

Hi gvdIAD et al ... I'll be driving down from Stamford on 5 April with my mom and whilst taking the scenic route, should be in DC in time to head on out to Clydes for a 6.30 dinner ... so please add Pooch + 1 to the roll call!

Can't believe I have to travel to DC to catch up with ozstamps
