OFFICIAL 2007 PRE-MEET Festivities Thread

KL2DC · 10-19-2007, 02:19 PM

Ok guys, we were kinda dragging our heels at our last discussion thread so I thought we should start afresh.

I thought time was imperative this being Friday afternoon. For the benefit of those planning to join our merry out-of-towners I thought its important to have plans set.

So here goes, the final pick for our dinner/HH venue goes to...

Clyde's at Tyson's Corner, Virginia

http://www.clydes.com/main/MenusList..._Tysons_Corner

We thought this venue is appropriate as the fare represents our region, it has good ambience, the location is accessible/centralized to all, good service and classy enough without being too expensive.

Date: Saturday October 20, 2007

RENDEZVOUS AT VENUE BY 20:30

Is this confirmed?

So I guess the kick off of the day is at 13:00-14:00 at Frank's place.

We can have chipotle for a quick light lunch, as suggested by Frank.

I estimate group check in at the hotel in Fair Lakes will only happen by 16:00-17:00?

We have dinner at 19:30-ish so there really isn't much time in between the two for a detailed city tour. I guess we'll play that one by ear.

KL2DC · 10-19-2007, 02:48 PM

Josh, your hotel is still different than the rest of the party, correct?
