Stand by for LAST MINUTE EMERGENCY LOCATION CHANGE !!

...

THIS JUST IN !!!

Due to a grievous error on the part of The Orleans House, in which they wrote down an incorrect telephone number, they canceled our reservation tonight.

NOT TO WORRY, THOUGH !!! The show will go on! The time remains the same (7pm) for tonight; the location has changed...

THE NEW LOCATION IS:
Marco Polo Restaurant, in Rosslyn, VA. only 1/2 block from the Rosslyn Metro station. And, most importantly in any urban area... FREE PARKING!

I will look up a map on Yahoo and an address, and post within a few minutes.

Hold onto your seats, folks. I'm doing this on the fly...

Please help me out here, folks and ping the others ASAP!!!

Please help me out here, everybody... and ping the rest of the gang for me, while I try and get a map and some other stuff organized.

Thanks!

Christmas party LOCATION CHANGE, ping!!!

Help!!!

[noexcuses]

What's the address for Marco Polo - is it on Wilson Blvd?

[alisasny]

Make sure the ORLEANS house has this info to give to those who show up there or post someone outside for a little while. Make some flyers etc. drop them off with exacts on how to get to the new place.

Man this totally sucks as I plan the NYC party I totally dread something like this. My big fear now is that it snows which I am sure you guys worried about too.

ANYWAY dont forget to mention our party 12/28 in NYC We would so love for many of you to come on up : ))))

[alisasny]

this really needs to be put in breaking news....I am sure you understand

[tgslTakoma]

Yay!! We have one person so far who I know has gotten the message!!!

Thanks for asking. The restaurant is on 19th Street between N. Moore St and Ft. Myer Drive.

Here's a map of the area... (remember, the Rosslyn Metro is in the middle of the block on Moore Street. Ignore the star on the map; it's off a little bit. The restaurant is on the NORTH side of 19th Street and the WEST side of Moore St.... They have a big sign on the front of the establishment that should help everyone find it, I hope)

BUMP!!!!!

[tgslTakoma]

Thanks for the bump and the encouraging words. What a nightmare for us!

I'm thinking I should make a sign and stand out in front of the Orleans House, so that we don't lose anyone in this fiasco.

I would love to come up for the NY Christmas party, but I have to wait until some things fall into place (or completely apart) in my non-FReeper life before I'll know for sure if I can make the road trip. I should know for sure by 12/18. (Nothing is ever simple, is it?)

[alisasny]

Is Raoul coming. He knows how to work this kind of stuff out.

[tgslTakoma]

MARCO...

[daughterofTGSL]

POLO!!!

[Sally'sConcerns]

bump for ya!

[alisasny]

NO rush on the NYC party. Would love to meet you though : )))

TONIGHT WILL WORK OUT I AM THE ETERNAL OPTIMIST : )

[tgslTakoma]

New location is only 1 block from the Orleans House (which I don't think I'll ever eat at again, after this screw-up...)

[tgslTakoma]

I'm not sure. Doc?

[Taxman]

Ignore those directions! Haste made waste.

I asked the AdminMod to pull it so no one gets screwed up and lost.

[tgslTakoma]

Hit "abuse" on yourself, FAST!!!
