ooh ... for Epic or anyone else who's interested - the National Portrait Gallery (9th and G Streets, NW, right at the Gallery Place Metro stop) has a picture of Steven Colbert hanging. It's temporary, it's one that was used as a prop on his show, but it might be worth checking on if you're in the area.
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

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.

I have spoken to Epic!
She was on her way up the stairs of the National Archive.

I am annoyed. Found a good place for dinner, but they don't take "same day" reservations. What the hell is that?

okay, I'm suggesting Ella's Woodfired Pizza on 9th and F, right down the street from Zaytinya at 7:30PM Metro accessible on the red, green and yellow lines. (Epic, I hear that you're at Union Station, take the red line towards Shady Grove, get off at Gallery Place, take the exit that says "Galleries". If you have some time to kill, the National Portrait Museum is right there and is lovely)
They don't take reservations, but there's a game tonight, so the host says that it will clear out at 7-7:30. If someone is there at 7 to put you on the list, you should be fine.
I will not be there, I have an obligation tonight, so someone needs to herd you all tonight.
By my count, we're looking for Todd, Hil, Sparky, Fred/Hubs and Epic.
Epic, if you want to do something tomorrow, let me know.
Sound good?

Sounds good to me, Vortex. I'm sorry you won't make it!

Ann, that's a ferret.
We should be able to make it. (crosses fingers)

Excellent, FredPete. I just spoke to Epic again, so she's got some directions on how to get there.

Great, I sent her a text message as well.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm not sure I'll be able to make it (i'm not feeling great today -- just took a two-hour nap, and still feel like I need more sleep.)
For the F2F, it seems like the May dates tend to work out a lot better. IIRC, the year we tried doing it earlier, a whole lot of people had conflicts. (Just from the ones on the list, the April 19 and 26 dates are Passover, and the March 22 one is Easter weekend.)
