If you come, I'll bring the donuts

RWood · 05-14-2009, 08:50 PM

Duke, I'll double lilac's offer -- if you show up I will also bring you a dozen "doughnuts"

Those dates are fine with me. My trip is now scheduled for July 10-14 so late June is great.

Since Kaz is coming in from the west we might want to concentrate on sites we can get to easily from the Dulles Tollway and Rt 66. Nate is coming from the south so something along 95 or route 1 could be an option.

I played host last time, anyone else want to do it this time or shall I repeat? cassidy?

lilac_jive · 05-14-2009, 08:52 PM

I'll be around 66. Probably hanging out in Vienna.

Powdered sugar? Chocolate icing? Bear claw?

So what we have to date is:

Confirmed:

Lilac - Vienna (from PA)
Kaz - west of Dulles
Cassidy - Alexandria
Nate - Woodbridge
Wood - Oak Hill

Possible:

Duke - Silver Spring (from parts unknown)

All others are welcome. We now need to fix the final date and location then get the maps out to everyone. (OK, we will post them here.)

lilac_jive · 05-14-2009, 09:23 PM

We need some more out of towners

Elsi · 05-14-2009, 10:21 PM

I might try to finagle a business trip to the DC area once you settle on a firm date.

If you don't mind the headache

and since you have experience, I would much appreciate your hosting again. I will, of course, assist in any way I can. Just send me a PM if there is anything I can do.

And my offer still stands to pick up any MR dignitaries that loitering around Dulles!

Kaz

RWood · 05-17-2009, 08:10 PM

No problem, I will do it.

The projected dates are Saturday June 27th or Sunday June 28th.

Locations, times, and activities will vary depending upon which day we pick.

All comments, suggestions, and new sign-ups are welcome.

lilac_jive · 05-17-2009, 10:19 PM

I prefer a Saturday, since I've got a couple hour drive ahead of me.

Nate the great · 05-17-2009, 10:23 PM

I'd like to meet at Panera Bread. There's quite a few locations in this area:

Most will probably be busy on a Saturday, though.

Yum yum, Panera. They usually don't have big tables though. But their bagels are delicious...
