DC Area Get-Together - 3/8/08 at 12:00 at Adega Wine Cellars & Cafe

Greeting, Fellow C-C'ers.

Are you in or near Washington DC? Would you like a chance to get to know some of your fellow C-C'ers? Then this is your chance!

We're looking to get together a C-C get together for.. anyone interesting in coming! :)

WHEN: Saturday March 8, 2008 (this Saturday!) at Noon
Where: Adega Wine Cellars & Cafe

We can meet in front of Adega. Make sure to care some sort of nametag so everyone knows who you are ;)

Except me.. everyone ALWAYS knows who I am ;)

Me!!!!! 

*bounces around*

I'm excited just thinking about it!

me too!!

I"ve oficially lost my license... so i don't know.  i could train it out thought if plans make their way to reality

Oh my goodness...I'm so flattered to be invited. Of course, I would just love to attend the hootin-nanny! I am equi-distance from DC and Baltimore, so either locale is good for me.

*marks calendar, puts lots of stars around date*

That sucks, I'll be getting deployed around that time, maybe next time...

What do y'all think about meeting in Downtown Silver Spring? It's in MD for a change, but only 10 minutes from the Metro (Silver Spring station, obviously). They've got some decent restaurants there, and an awesome Book Store. :)

Me, me, me!

I'll get with you about meeting up and going together, K?

I'm sorry I can't make it this time.  But I'm here to tell you that on the previous DC meetups we had a wonderful time.  Meeting CC friends face to face is a great experience. 

I'm interested.  I already have something scheduled for 3/8, but depending on the time I might be able to make it.  I used to work in downtown Silver Spring and loved it!  I always hung out at the Borders (after I kicked my Ben & Jerry's addiction) ... is that the bookstore you were talking about or is there another one?

Ohhh, that sucks!  I'm going to be in that area the weekend after! 

Hey cool!  I'm in Baltimore!

*bump cause it's Monday now*

Count me in, but Howard, I would like to meet up with you and Kim so we can all go together, if that's okay.

We can work that out. Downtown Silver Spring is right off the Metro. I was probably going to do that, so I don't have to pay for parking. :)

Do people feel like meeting up for lunch as usual? And if so, what sort of food are you interested in? We have CHOICES.

I'm up for anything.  I'm totally unfamiliar with Silver Spring...  I think I have been there once, a looooong time ago but don't recall for sure.  I will go with whatever the group decides.  :)

Bumpitybump!

So... we're thinking Saturday March 8th at Downtown Silver Spring. Anyone have any specifics for where? Places they want to eat or can't stand eating at?

Lunch time soon good for people? Maybe 11:30 or 12:00? :) 

Bummer!! 

I would have loved to make it but I am headed to FL from March 6 to 16th.   This extra stinks because I work in Silver Spring right at the metro stop.  There is free parking in the garage on the weekends where I work  - I think   it is free in the all the county garages (i.e., in the new downtown too) but I will check for you all and edit this post later.(I checked and it isfree on weekeends).  There are lots of places to eat.  If you are looking for some non-chain options, there is a nice wine store/lunch place called Adega (http://www.adegawinecellars.com/index.html) where my coworkers and I like to go. They have this amazing jerk chicken, mango and avocado salad that I always seem to get.  And Mayorga is decent too as a place to hang out (http://www.mayorgacoffee.com/index.php), but I have not been in awhile.  There is a sushi place that we go to too - Asian Bistro Cafe (http://www.asianbistrocafe.com/menu.html).    But really, lots and lots of other options too.

Awwww :(

Yay for FLA!  Boo for us!  ((Cece))
