If you guys do it December 10 - 12, I could maybe make a guest appearance. I'll be back home for an all purpose holiday visit, but I've done seen them fools thousands of times. Time for some new fools to put in mental photo album.

If there is cider I am there. :) I'm NOVA myself...I can swing DC but MD might be tough without a lot of notice.

Some of MD is closer than parts of DC, since it can't be done as-the-crow-flies and traffic and all...

Where I live now, everything is 15 minutes away or less. And it doesn't get too hot.

Somehow, I still miss NOVA.

Excellent! Is anyone able to make the Dec meeting with Perks (aside from me) or should we shoot for January? PM me your area and we'll mapquest someplace that is centrally located.

Linda, thank you for that link, I'll definitely check it out. :)

Someplace else.
I can do a December meeting with any of the dates Perks mentioned. Or January. I'm flexible!

I'm in NOVA and had no idea there was such an interest (I'm a little guarded when it comes to my writing) in this area. I'm pleasantly surprised by the presence here at AW. I might even allow myself to be talked into showing up for something like this. I'm going to have to keep tabs on this. My schedule is flaky at best with work, (I work in Herndon and sometimes in the D.C.) but I'd like to hear the plan and see my options.

Alrighty-

So far we have a vote for dinner at a fabulous Thai restaurant in DC recommended highly by Namatu (yum!). Other suggestions? Closer in to NOVA?

What dates work better for the December meeting. Perks will be in town Dec 10-12, is there a day that works better for everyone?

...cause sometimes you just need a slap on the hea
I work until 6:15 in Reston, (Literally just up the street from the Barnes & Noble by the Reston Town Center, if anyone wants to meet there one day) by the time I get there y'all would be done with dinner. :cry:That and in the five years I've been here, I've never driven in D.C.

Yes-- it scares me, I'm a wimp. :wag:

ROFL! I'm the same way, I've been here for eight and only driven in the district a handful of times (under duress).

Hmmm, this could be a pickle. Anyone else having time/DC issues?

If you switch to Northern Virginia or MD, that's fine by me. I'm easy.

And I can drive in DC. I'm a stone-cold badass.

May I suggest you select a meeting place by a Metro stop - it's the easiest way to travel in DC, IMO. Find parking outside the city then Metro in. Piece of cake.

(Hint: Union Station itself is easy to get to and has plenty of good food places.)

Will try to catch up with all y'all at a later date; I'm unable to travel at the moment.
