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.

I called ChiKat to see if she was going, but haven't heard back yet.
Just heard back from my boss, and I can take off early to come downtown for dinner--yay!

She's got a class at six, unfortunately.
New plan, in case you didn't get my message. 6:45 at Pizzeria Due - Gino's is closed for renovation. See you there!

Flea, there are some big chains in Crystal City (one bridge over from Rosslyn) that have good deals. There is a Courtyard Marriott, etc.
Plus, the hotels are all within walking of the Metro, which might mean not needing a car the whole time.
This one, I pass all the time and it seems to have gotten pretty good ratings: Americana Motel
I'm very interested in doing the folk life festival this year. Mekong and Northern Ireland. What a combo!

Dcistas, email sent re: Suzi dinner.
eta: which failed, so here's the email --
It sounds like Friday is best. Apologies to those who cannot make it. Any suggestions for location? I've been wanting to try Bistro du Coin, but am perfectly willing to be overruled if there's another suggestion. Suzi, do you have a food preference?
