DU MEETUP ON MONDAY 1/19/2009 IN Washington DC: Pre-Inauguration Party. Who will be there.

[LynneSin]

Trying to get an estimated headcount. Normally I don't do that but H&D asked if we would give them an idea. Please post in the thread in the DC lounge if you are going to be there.

3. Where are you staying

:hide:

Trust me, you've been recruited to help organize this thing. Perhaps I should have told you about that. You can come up with the games

2. Where is the meetup going to be?

n/t

4. Probably at the same place we've used before

Hawk & Dove near the Capital Hill South Metro.

BTW the guy on the phone said that on 1/19/2004 Obama held a fundraiser at the H&D

5. I'm throwing in my hat... tentatively

Depends how swamped I am at work and/or if work has me traveling.

[LynneSin]

6. It's the inauguration - you can't be traveling

Hell we're sending out-of-town DUers your house to camp out for the night

7. Let me tell you something...

When I find out if I'm in town, my ass is posting a listing on craigslist because I'm going to be rich with my three empty rooms.

10. Great idea!

I can rent out my patio for kipping. They'll have to pay in Euros, though.

I have to work Inauguration Day. That's if I can make it in on my bike. They were going to hire a temp to man the phones, but I doubt they could make it in. So I volunteered. It ought to be quiet.

8. D.C. shuts down for the inauguration.

My sister has the day off and my nephew is off from school and they live in Arlington.

9. My dear LynneSin!

I WILL be in DC that week! I'm staying with Mabus...check with her to see if we're coming to your meetup!

I know she wants to, and so do I!

11. Are you booking the party room?

We're going to have to guarantee $X in sales, but that shouldn't be too hard with the hard-drinkin' DU crew. :toast: :beer: :toast:

14. Call me before you arrive so I can get the toll booth setup outside the bar

:hide:

I'll take it down after you enter the place but you will need to use it before going to the bathroom
