Hil and Java and others as interested, the Corcoran is near Foggy Bottom. The exhibit right now is Norman Rockwell, but they've got some other good stuff. There's a small private collection on Wisconsin in G-town, a few blocks up from M Street...can't remember the name, but I think it starts with a "P."
I want in on the Spy Museum! I've wanted to go for a while, but haven't. It's probably the most expensive of museums here (but since most are free, that's not saying a lot). The Spy Museum is near the Folger, the LoC, and the Postal Museum, sort of, although most of those are nearer Union Station (and the hotel) than the Spy Museum. What's REALLY near it is Jaleo, for tapas.
Yay!!! Java's here!!! She didn't get locked onto the Dulles Toll Road from Hell, spat onto the Beltway, and cursed to circle DC for days!

So, I just subscribed to this thread. It doesn't mean that I think there should be pictures and stories already, I know that the 'official' F2F doesn't start until at least Friday. It's just that I like the anticipation part so very much, and seeing the thread title on my Message Center helps in that.
Have safe easy trips to DC, everybody, and lots of fun and then some!
Surely there must be dark corners somewhere in the building. I need to find a raincoat, and a hat.
I was thinking a tuxedo and a martini, but maybe that's just me, Machina, DXMachina.
For Friday, I plan to bring the Post's Weekend section - it lists museums and what's showing in them, as well as addresses and hours. The museum on Wisconsin, Raquel - are you thinking of the Phillips? that's near Dupont Circle. There's Dumbarton Oaks, which is off Wisconsin - Q or R Street, if I remember correctly.
And .. for the Georgetown shopping trip - not only is there a Lush, but right across the street is a Sephora and a MAC. Right down the street - one block - is a Kiehls.
I'm in for the pool/darts expedition Fri. night. Um, the block where
the pool hall and the kareoke bar are, where is that in relation to the
hotel? I am not bringing my car, and I want to know if I'll need to catch
a ride to/from pool.
Insent to Sean K, and also to Kate P.
I will be able to ferry those staying at my place to the hotel and back, although the Friday morning trip may be a wee bit cramped.
I have a nasty feeling that I'm going to have a very hard time choosing between different activities.

That's always the problem.
Teppy, don't remember what (if anything) i sent Vortex, or thus what she sent you--can my nametag just say meara? No RL name. And not Meara.
Check. meara, no upper-case M.
I'm drunk with power!

As long as you don't throw it all up on the Metro...
Does either the darts/pool bar or karaoke bar serve food beyond bar snacks? I don't need a three course meal, just something more substantial than mixed nuts.
As usual, I'm torn between sushi and tapas for dinner on Saturday.
