The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic is hosting a welcome dinner/gathering for our FRiends who are traveling from across the country to CPAC this Wednesday night at the Crystal Gateway Marriott at 1700 Jefferson Davis Highway (enter on South Eads Street).

Please join us in the Sports Bar at 7:30 p.m. to meet old FRiends and start new friendships before the hectic three-day conference begins. Depending on whether the service has improved there, we may decide to move to a restaurant in the Underground, so please try to arrive before 8 p.m.

If you live in the area, but are not attending CPAC, you can still meet FReepers at the hotel in the lobby, restaurant or bar any time from Wednesday night through Saturday afternoon.

Also, after CPAC ends Saturday afternoon, the D.C. Chapter invites you to come to the memorial knoll off South Parking at the Pentagon to pay tribute to the victims and heroes of the September 11 terrorist attacks.

I think we should make an effort to attend the memorial service as well. Since I'm staying at the Marriott, I'll probably be seen occasionally in the bar ...

[Bahbah]

Not generally an envious person, I am Green. Oops, bad designation. Green with envy. Have a great time.

[diotima]

I think we can make it to that. Depends on booth take down and stuff. BYOW at the bar. Bring Your Own Waitstaff.

It's just across the Potomac from downtown D.C. An hour's ride by car or MARC train to Union Station and then Metro.

Thank-you :-)

[Nitro]

Appreciate the invite but I'm totally NYC!!

Will you be at the 2 Feb FReep?

[Fred Mertz]

I won't be there because I'll be making my annual one week getaway to Cancun. I spoke with ForceTen tonight and she says hi.

[IronJack]

Isn't the Crystal Gateway Marriott just south of Arlington National Cemetery? We should be only a few minutes away. Not that that's important. I mean, these people died for us. I think we can fight a little traffic to honor their memories.

"Will you be at the 2 Feb FReep?"

No, I am in Oregon.

[abner]

Darn. I won't be there until Thursday.

[Taxman]

Look for me at seven,
Look for me at eight.
If I'm not there by eleven,
I'll be late!

Wouldn't miss this partay for all the tea in China!

[kristinn]

Arlington is just up the Blue Line on the Metro from Crystal City. The Pentagon is two stops up on the Yellow or Blue Lines.

[Nitro]

Oh well, I'm sure I won't be the only squid there, we'll all stand up for your spirit!!

"I spoke with ForceTen"

ForceTen, there is a name I haven't heard from for awhile. Tell her I said hello.

Have a wonderful time in Cancun Fred. tip: Senior Froggs is good.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Wish I could make it, but I have other plans (sigh).

[Fred Mertz]

Thanks for the tip, AGreatPer(vert). ;^)

I'll also send her your regards.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Come to think of it, I can execute said plans in the afternoon, then stop on by (Yeah!!).
