Yay for timely arrival, Tom! It was fun to watch the plane on its way, but I went to sleep while you were over Wisconsin.
Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I’ve never even heard of Joey Ramone Memorial.
It's what a handful of people (long-ago Buffistas? Table Talkers? I no longer remember) adopted as National's real name once the name of the air traffic controller strikebreaker got attached to it. He deserves no airport memorials at all, while Joey Ramone deserves memorials of all sorts and has none.
Boss will have a rental car, so the drive out to Falls Church will be all him. I'm not sure how familiar he is with the area, so I'd rather go with whichever airport will have an easier/less confusing drive out.

I'd still opt for Joey Ramone Memorial. (I like that name!) It's way closer to Falls Church than Dulles is. Either drive can be confusing for the uninitiated.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have no idea about the actual geography, so I just think it's hilarious that Vortex said National is closer and Bobbi said Dulles is.

National, now renamed Joey Ramone, is always our first choice over Dulles. But now I am enjoying renaming many other inappropriately named memorial highways, buildings, etc.
eta: I think Vortex and Bobbi both called Ramone as the closer and preferred option.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Quiet day today. Later we head up to B'more to meet up with a visiting filker friend.

Huh? National is closer, which is what I said.

Jesse just switched the order.
FWIW, Google maps puts Dulles about 17 miles out and National 10 miles. Given how much nicer National is to fly in and out of, I'd definitely go that way.

I did just switch the order. Vortex:
Dulles is MUCH closer to Falls Church

Conclusion: Don't go Dulles, that way leads to madness. Or if this was Bitches, Conclusion: Let's make out.
