No way! I had no idea Polter-Cow was here! I'm totally in!
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Well at least tell me you're going for deep dish so I won't be too envious.

We have Polter-Cow! Now we need pizza!
Surrender the pizza and no one gets hurt.

DCistas - save the date! The family flea will be in town Saturday July 7 and looking to meet up for an earlyish dinner at a very child-friendly place (suggestions?), DC/NoVA. We'll probably be staying in NoVA and if anyone has hotel recs I also welcome them. You can have your chance to meet these impish creatures: [link]
I'd happily take this to email if people want, or if someone can subscribe me to the local list (if it's working).

Ann, that's a ferret.
flea, what area of NoVA are you looking at? Because we had good experiences staying at the Residence Inn at Fair Lakes when we had our flood (was that 5 years ago already?), but it's about 20 miles outside DC and not really convenient for touristy things there.

We're visiting friends in Arlington, and may hit the Folk Life Festival. I've been recommended to look in Rosslyn by someone.

move out and draw fire
flea, cool!
What are you looking for in a hotel? I think I've stayed in all of them in Rosslyn. They are all much of a muchness - you get either the named chain highrise type or the somewhat seedy independents.

Also, the Suzi has landed. A little delayed due to tropical storm Barry, but Mal and I had dinner with her last night. Mal demonstrated his appetite for destruction by leaving our booth in favor of one with glasses and knives.

We are looking for cheapness without skeeziness or incompetence, basically. Free parking is a plus, but it looks like most of them have a reasonable fee ($10).

flea, forget my recommendation. It's a long way from Rosslyn. Or even a Metro station that could get you to Rosslyn.

Sunil's in town and hoping to get together for dinner tomorrow night. Who's in?
Tonight? Damn. I can't, because I'm going to dinner at Charlie Trotter's.
