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.
Gary and I are pretty flexible with regard to food type, as long as the place is near a Metro stop. (please let us know how dressy/casual the place is so Gary will know if he needs to change out of his suit)
Am bummed we will miss flea and family, as Gary and I are going to be in New Jersey for Live Earth that weekend.
Friday is good. Any food option is fine. I will have Mal with me (still no evening/weekend babysitter option) so I guess my key concern is that the restaurant not be so expensive that other people will be pissed off to have their nice fancy date interrupted by Mal attempting to play with them.
Although with that many Buffistas in one place, he might be occupied enough to not go walkabout.
What's his bedtime, Raq? We usually do a 7PM dinner, is that too late? Also, my friend's 18 year old sister lives out your way, I think, might be a babysitting option for the future. Where are you again?
Friday will work for me (as of right now). Bistrot du Coin has awesome mussels and frites. If we can get the upstairs long table, it may work out. If you want, I can call tomorrow and see if they can comfortably accomodate a party of 8.
We could also do Sonoma on the Hill, or La Tasca at Gallery Place. We can even venture into VA and try the new Majestic Cafe in Old Town.
Im up for whatever. I can also pick up people from metro if we go non metro accessible (which we don't seem to need to do). I'd forgotten about sonoma.
Heh. I haven't forgotten about Sonoma. It's turned into one of my favorite places. You were the reason my restaurant choices were a big hit with the big shots from Chicago.
I'll call Bistrot du Coin and see if anything can be done, and I shall report my findings here. Then we can bullshit consense on exactly what we're going to do.
Mal's bedtime is highly flexible, but usually 9:30 ish.
And I'm in Tysons, but hopefully will be in Vienna soon. I'm working on another babysitting option right now, though...
Bistrot du Coin has space for us on Friday at 7 pm. I have reserved a table for 9 and they've noted our preference for the upstairs large table.
Does this work for everyone? I can always cancel if we want to go someplace else.
Count me in.
