Washington D.C.

Hey everyone... long time no see! Very Happy

Sorry for the prolonged absence... As some of you know, I moved to the U.S. two months ago, and between a new job and the necessity to settle in, I didn't have much time left to do anything else yet Sad

Anyway, my new job involves a bit more traveling than the old one, and since I came here I already met with Syl. In addition to that, though, I'm going to Washington D.C. from November 12 to November 17, and I was wondering what would be the chances to meet with the DC contingent of Watchers again Smile

Let me know!

Cool! I'll bring Magickmaker! Let me know which day you're most available and we'll meet up for dinner. (You might have more luck finding Creator in the Pantheon forum -- just sayin'. Wink

Don't look at me, Fist -- Av is perfectly capable of starting trouble on his own. Laughing

I can neither confirm nor deny any rumors that I made a deal to pay ali - with money, sexual favors, or otherwise - to say that.

You will be very close to my stompin' grounds, Xar. Cool

I am leaning toward Sunday the 13th, but Magickmaker doesn't have her work schedule for next week yet (ah, the joys of shift work...) so I'm not prepared to commit yet. Hopefully they'll post her schedule by the end of today.

As for restaurants -- jeez, put the pressure on me, Creator, why don't ya. Wink

It depends what you guys are up for. There's a tapas place called Jaleo in Crystal City (you'll probably be able to walk there, Xar) that's run by Jose Andres -- and a whole lot of other places around there, too, but I've only been to Jaleo.

There's a boatload of restaurants about two blocks from my apartment in Shirlington, four of which I can recommend depending on how much y'all want to spend: Capitol City Brewing, Carlyle Grand, Busboys and Poets, or Luna Grille. Cap City Brewing is a microbrewery with pub food. Busboys and Poets is kind of artsy -- they have open-mic poetry nights -- and the menu emphasizes organic food and stuff. Luna Grille is more of a family-style place -- Magickmaker and I ate there Monday night. Carlyle Grand is the priciest option, but their food is worth it and I'm told their Sunday brunch is one of the best in DC. There's no Metro stop here, but we could buzz over and pick you up, Xar -- you will be less than 15 minutes away.

Or if you want to go *really* cheap, there's a California Pizza Kitchen at Pentagon City Metro. Razz

Open mic at Busboys and Poets on the 15th at 9 pm. It's a DC institution that shouldn't be missed, and they have decent food. Only down side is that you'll have to get there early to stand in line.

Syl, are you up here yet? Tell me again when you start the new gig -- my brain's like a sieve...

Oh, it looks like open mic night at the Shirlington Busboys and Poets is Monday night, the 14th. That's definitely a possibility. But Magickmaker can't come Monday -- she's working 'til close. She's off Sunday. So Sunday's still the best day, I think. But it's up to you guys.

I guess I need to pm Jay and Cail.

No word yet from those other DC-area losers....

Syl: Bummer, you'll just miss Xar. Oh well, your arrival will give him an excuse to come back, right? Laughing
