I'm here! I'm in DC, at Raquel's. Sat. = Hec & JZ wedding & awesome reception; Sun. = Jen K & Jon B & Katerina Bee & I went to the Marin Headlands, Marine Mammal Center, and Rodeo Beach; Mon. = at Raquel's in DC!! It's a Buffistas kind of week.
Okay, tip for anyone renting a car at Dulles. THE ROADS ARE INSANE!! They don't tell you when you are getting onto an expressway from which THERE IS NO EXIT!! ARGHH!! Raquel is such a generous hostess, however, that she has provided me access via laptop and I have raided the 'fridge for a cold ale and ... Oh boy! Washington! I have not witnessed cicadadom yet.
Dang, who said upthread that he/she wanted to go to the spy museum? Me too! I wonder if we can coordinate.
Tip: you can get the "museumgoer's guide" at the incoming terminals, but not the baggage claim area, according to the newstand man near baggage claim. Things that I remember are v. close to the hotel without my notes are: postal museum, Supreme Court, Library of Congress, Folger Shakespeare Library, Taft Memorial, Peace Monument, Grant Monument, Garfield Monument, and the Capitol.
I'd like to lick the Library of Congress.
And lurk at the Spy Museum.
Dang, who said upthread that he/she wanted to go to the spy museum?
I did waaaay back. I would have to go on Sunday, though.
Oh, hell fuck yes!!!
I was just wondering if you were going to be there. I get smonster! Well not all to myself, but still.
amyth and I will also be milling about the HS Friday ISO some hot Buffistas lookin' for a good meal. We're aiming for early afternoon arrival.
I should be at the hotel by 4:30 on Friday, likely milling also.
t bouncing!

I mentioned the spy museum.
I've seen two cicadas, both dead. I heard some others, but so far, this doesn't seem as bad as I remember the last infestation being.
t bouncing too
Also interested in the spy museum.
I really have no idea what peeps are doing, since I started reading the thread pretty late. We could have sign-up sheets for different expeditions posted outside the HS...

I think we could easily put together a Spy Museum contingent. I can't find the Spy Museum in any of my books though. I think I need the new MuseumGoers Guide. The ones I have mention the FBI Museum and also the Cryptography Museum, which I totally want to check out.
Hil, where are you? Because I want to spend a day in the Dupont Circle area mid-week, and eat lunch at a veggie restaurant called Nora's, or Kramerbooks, or Teaism, or Raku, and I wondered if you lived around there and would want to meet me?

I'm in Foggy Bottom, about a 10 or 15 minute walk to Dupont. Any of those sound great, and I'd love to.
