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?
It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

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!

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?

Is this thing on? No takers for Friday? Should we talk about Wednesday or Thursday?

I was thinking Friday as well. I know that Fred can't do it, but is in Centreville, so he will probably get the Suzi goodness at another time. Mears and Gary/Sheryl were good for Friday. Todd is super popular, so might have to juggle to make Friday, and I think that Raq was good with Friday too. Maria also said that Friday was an option, as I recall. Am I missing anyone? I know that the communication has been spotty with the email lists.

I am trying to strong arm Sox and family to come down, also.
