I've finally got the flights etc all booked up, so I'm definitely gonna be in DC 8th - 13th April! :D

Oh, and as for eateries, anywhere with beer is good (as long as the beer itself is good)... :o)

Room for another one? I should be able to make it.

There's always room for more. :) We may revise to an earlier meeting time, say 10:30/11ish. I'm reviewing the planned events for that day. The parade will be starting at 10:30.

So people wanna do Cap City then?

haha...nothing like having to stand out in the middle of st mary's, looking like a disheveled, out-of-place tourist, waiting for someone you don't recognize to sneak up on you ;-)

Reposted from the top to update folks.

And as of now the attendees are:

blemt (your host)
ClubJuggle (for comic relief)
Manic (our token Brit)
nova (to help the host eventually get organized when she actually replies to her emails. :D )
durkovic (for elaborately set up motion shots)
skiprow (if he's out on bond...)
dan_pendelton (who I don't know remotely well enough yet to make a witty comment about. Wait for it.)
banmorn (keeper of the pepto)
richterrell (Birdman)
Drew (God 1)
Langdon (God 2)

These are the confirmed/I'm sure they are coming barring acts of god or the courts. Or the USAF. ;)

The date- April 9, the time 11am at Union Station. First off, lunch at Cap City. And I do need the rest of y'all to confirm so I can call Cap City and make sure that we can all get in for lunch. Cause I'm not even gonna try for dinner reservations this particular weekend.

After lunch we will meander our way through Chinatown, down to the National Mall, and then around towards the Tidal Basin. Detours to the WW2 Memorial, and Monument Triangle area possible. The high point event- Sunset at Ye Olde Tidal Basin.

Bring yer tripods boys and girls. :)

Clara,

Count me in - I was not sure if I was going to be able to make it but my calendar is now free. I'm looking forward to seeing some familiar faces and some new ones as well.

Rich.

03/26/2005 01:29:54 PM · #40
I'll be there with my sweet Olympus, look for the guy with the helmet.
03/26/2005 01:34:27 PM · #41
Goshdangit, wish I could come.
Manic, I'm envious!
Clara, at least you won't miss out on this one!
And I'd love to meet Drew in person, he sounds rather CUTE on the phone!

I just got back from a conference in DC...
pout
...and with my next trip starting on the 13th I can't justify getting away again...
sniffle
...Hey! Maybe next year we could have a DPC conference in DC!? (or Phila. or NYC or ???)
03/27/2005 08:40:18 AM · #46
Okay- I'll be calling Cap City on Wednesday to make sure they can accomidate all of us. Your deadline for letting me know if you plan on being there for lunch is Wednesday. If you aren't on the list I can't promise that we can squeeze you in for lunch. :)

Everyone on the confirmed list will have a spot for lunch. :) So check the list! :)

Just as some added info and for those attending, you might want to take a peek at //www.nationalcherryblossom.com, the offical site of the National Cherry Blossom Festival.

They even have a Cherry Tree map here (warning, 5MB PDF file). Very interesting!

I'll be interested in coming...I can do 8th or 9th...I'll fly back to NY on the last flight on the 9th and hope it's not cancelled or...Go from DCA instead of IAD :)

And slightly off topic...
Anyone have a spare tripod?

I need a yes if you want in on the lunch reservation. Keep in mind, this is probably the biggest tourist weekend in DC during the year. I need to call Cap City no later than Wednesday to confirm the table.

If anyone is planning on coming and is not on the confirmed list, I will assume that you do not want to do lunch. Please, please do not assume that I'll be able to wiggle you in at the last minute.

For those bringing spouse, significant others or Langdons (in the case of Drew), let me know if your other will be joining us for lunch. :) (Lang, I'll go ahead and assume that you do indeed want food. ;)
