Woot! How far is the Tabard Inn from the F2F hotel? Is it easy access via the T, or will those of us staying there need a cab to get back?
For those curious about the answer, I checked. It's off the red line at the Dupont Circle stop, and over a block or two. A bit of a hike, but not too bad. I'll likely take the Metro there, but depending on how things go, I will probably be looking for people to share a cab back to the main hotel afterwards. Just a pre-emptive heads up for those Sunday people who will still be around.
Matt, the place looks fabulous. My god, the dinner menu. ~swoon~
I know! Add that to garden patio dining if it's nice out, or in the restaurant with big windows open if it isn't.
Hey Anne W., if you're around, can you email me at my profile address? I'd like to work out the dates of my stay so I can book my flight, but I don't want to overstay my welcome with you. Thanks!
Yes, yes! The garden patio! I so hope it doesn't rain. Any excuse to eat outdoors (so says the tired New Englander, looking at her thermometer and tapping her foot impatiently, waiting for spring to really arrive).
Ok, I've booked my accommodation, Friday and Saturday night. It's all good. Last time I was staying in a hotel on my own was (IIRC) when I went to San Diego to present a paper at the Valuation Actuaries Symposium. It was a curious mixture of missing Bec and, in the words of Xander, liking the quiet. (Also when I started watching Adult Swim.)
AV equipment for the hospitality suite?
Amps etc.for the music?
I'll be bringing a laptop with a ton of music but can't help with the gear as it's kinda outta my home base this year.
One for the things-people-might-want-to-do list:
The National Gallery of Art is now showing a special exhibit on Courtly Art of the Maya. The weekend of the F2F, there'll be a number of programs relating to Mexico.
No idea on the details, and no idea why the program isn't closer to Cinco de Mayo.
I can put out some feelers for a P.A. if no localistas have any connections. I got us a good one in Chicago.
if no localistas have any connections.
You know I might. What exactly would we need? (i'm technotarded but am in a band and know a ton of people who know about equipment and stuff)
