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.
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: Madison, WI from June 20-22 2008! Official website.

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

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.

Roommate has been talking about it since forever, someone gave her money to do it, and I guess we're celebrating her recent birthday and my very belated birthday?
I just hope I don't embarrass myself. I've been to fancy places on the company dime out in Beverly Hills and Princeton, but this is a whole new level of fancy, man.

So, you can get Charlie Trotter's to go - but it's more of a catering thing than a take-out deal.
You must tell us if eating at his restaurant is like watching his show. I mean, will there be jazz?

I'll report back on the Charlie Trotter's experience! I'll try to enjoy myself, despite the fact that they serve bottles of wine that cost more than a used car.
