Coming Soon to a Hotel Near You

[haase]

Well, my reservations are all set - June 15th - 20th I'll be staying at the Marriot Fairview Park...  3111 Fairview Park Drive, Falls Church

[Mephisto_kur]

Well, cool!  You have my number, make sure we set something up!  Killjoy, you in?

[KillJoy]

Sure.  I actually have a job, though.  So it will have to be something like happy-hour...

[myshka]

Yeah, that is a hotel VERY near me...I work right across the street.  Well, I know you boys want to do some crazy thing together, but haase I'd be happy to meet for lunch one day if we could match schedules.  I don't do Hooters, though.

[haase]

That'd be nice, if the bald-headed wonder boy doesn't mind.   It would have to be earlier in the week, though.  The longer I'm away from home, the greater my need for greasy spoon diner lunches.  Please tell me there are some nearby.

But wait...  I thought Microstrategy was right across the street.  That's why I'm staying at that hotel, so I can walk to classes and not be bothered for parking and stuff.

[Mephisto_kur]

The Marriott is in the middle of the two.  Fairview Park is a big loop.

[myshka]

That'd be nice, if the bald-headed wonder boy doesn't mind.  

Well, we'll let him be the benevolent one, then.  He tells me you have his phone number, so when you guys get in touch, get my contact info from him.  Call or e-mail me, and we'll set something up!

[haase]

Yeah...  I've got his number.  I'm going to give him a call this afternoon.  I got in late last night.  Nice area around here.

[haase]

Arrggghhhh...  I flippin HATE cell phones.  Actually, I hate ALL phones.  The stupid thing doesn't work.  It says I'm roaming and I'm supposed to be covered.  I tried to give you a call and I got an error saying my phone wasn't active.  I dialed 611 like they asked...  funny...  phone seems active to me.  I have to call tech support, but I have to do it from a land phone, which means I have to wailt till I get back to the hotel.

...and my wife wants to know why I've only used 4 minutes since January....  errrgghhhh.

[Mephisto_kur]

Alright, it looks like Killjoy and I are available on Thursday or Friday night.  Would either of those work for you?

[haase]

Thursday sounds good.  How about Sweetwater Tavern over here on 50.  It looks like a sweet place, pretty happenin' and they brew their own beer.  I tried to go their last night for dinner, but there was a waiting list and I felt like an assclown sitting outside by myslef with all these hipster groups of 5 and 6 people laughing it up and carrying on.

[Mephisto_kur]

Myshka hates that place, but I've never been there, so thats cool with me.  I can almost feel my cheating now....  WOnder if they have steak and baked potato....  God I want a baked potato....

[haase]

Hey...  wait a minute...  you can't even drink beer on your diet...  that micro-brew stuff is healthy on the carbs because they usually don't filter it to death.

I personally like a beer I can almost chew on.  Guiness, or a good wheat beer that when you hold your hand behind the glass, you can't see it.

[KillJoy]

The beers there are OK...  I wasn't terribly impressed.  I've eaten there lots, and the food is pretty darn good.

I'm there.  twstpear is a maybe...

Thats alright, I don't drink anymore anyway.  I've never been a big fan of beer, on top of everything else.  I have already decided to take my three days penance for cheating when we all get together, so carbos here I come.
