Since we'll be there on the weekend, there should really be ample street parking. I'd suggest looking for it. Friday, there will be restrictions, but after 6:30pm, you should be good.

Whew. Thanks for the tip, meara.

I wish I had extra tiaras to bring. However, I am bringing various random party tops for the Full Figured. I imagine everyone already has their Saturday night finery lined up, but see me if you want to play dressup sometime during the weekend.

Boyz too.

Ooooh! And are there volunteers to help guys with eyeliner? You know how we lurve boys with eyeliner. Are there any boys game for this?

I forget which karaoke and darts place we decided on, but other possibilities would be the Car Wash/Rocklands BBQ, which has good food, and Dr. Dremo, which has bar food but good bar food, and good draught beers, and pool tables. But I really don't know the Crystal City places.

I thought that the whole point was that they were in the same block, so that people could go back and forth. If we aren't doing that, then I'm inclined to just go to the Scottish bar near the hotel where I know the bartender :)

No parking restrictions in my area. Just don't block anyone's driveway.

LJ, I didn't get your email. Did you send it to my profile addy? If you want to reach me quickly try me at work at aweber AT bernan DOT com.

I thought we got half-price parking at the hotel as part of our group rate?

Jessica, we do. I checked Java's original post. It's $11/night. Not great, but better.

Haven't seen mentioned recently in discussion of F2F activities: OMWF singalong. Are we still planning to do that? If so, any idea when?

Thanks for the info meara. We should be getting to the hotel by 4 or 4:30ish. What restrictions are in place before 6:30?

That was my understanding. Also, I have a hard time believing that we'll be unable to find food either in one of the two bars or somewhere on the block. I wouldn't worry.

some streets do not allow you to park between 4 & 6:30 (to add an extra lane for traffic flow) Others have meters that last until 6:30. It's a business district, so there shouldn't be problems parking on the weekends, but Friday afternoon might be a little dicey.

Oh, I missed that. (I never go to Crystal City.)

Neither pool nor karaoke is really my thing -- I suck at both -- so I suspect I'll prop myself in a corner with beverages. Hopefully someone will talk to me.
