I am definately coming out to DC in June. I just need to book my flights and stuff.

woo! Staying in DC is closer to drinking, but staying in Chantilly will save your sanity with the traffic.

Also, for dinner saturday, I have Me, Matt, Sparky, Tommyrot and Frank for tapas. Anyone else?

For whiskey, I have me and alieanne?

Me!

For tapas, that is. I really wish I was coming in time for whiskey, but with the new job and all, I was leery of taking too much time off. Should have done it anyway.

Me! (for tapas)

Hey, if it's not too late, I'd like to get in on the mani/pedi fun.

I will have a car, although I'd prefer to walk to the salon.

I'm probably in for Rocky Horror and *will* be dressing for the occasion.

Would also be interested in the chocolate place.

Can't remember if it's been mentioned... but Little Five Points has several nifty vintage/2ndhand clothing shops ranging from high end to claustrophobic.

especially since you started it

My plan for Thursday and Friday is:
Exchange car w/ friends for 7 passenger van.
Pick up anyone who needs transportation. Please contact me if you need a ride.
Sparky, Brenda, -t, I'll be glad to meet you at MARTA or the airport. Let me know.

ooh, Larry, you rock! Even though I already have a ride.

Hey, tommy, you are most likely on the same plane that changed flight numbers. As I recall, there must be at least 45 minutes for a layover unless the passenger specifically agrees to less.

especially since you started it

I know!

Vortex, put me in for tapas. Ellen and Bev are on the road, but I'll see if they want to join us when they get here.

Yeah, I haven't gotten around to the whole Little Five Points (there's a Five Points downtown) thing. Little Five Points is where the '60s never died. It starts about three-quarters of a mile from the hotel. There are vintage/kitsch places like Psycho Sisters and Stefans; crystals; Abbadabba's, which sells Birkenstocks and, iirc, Doc Martins; Wax 'n' Fax, a used and new CD and album store; a natural foods co-op; several tatoo and piercing places; two theatre companies; a great music venue; and some good restaurants and bars, including the Vortex, home of great hamburgers and attitude.

Is that a 3/4 of a mile that can be walked to? I know that's an issue around Atlanta, and though I have a car, other than specific errands I'd rather be walking around if I can.
