I'll be a little late, but I'll be there. We're going to eat at a New Mexican restaurant first, but are just now leaving.

Not going to make it- kid's having a tough day.

Okay, I drove all the way out to Springfield Mall, was there from 1:45 until 3 and didn't recognize anyone. I even convinced Earl Grey to go (which was like moving a small mountain).

Oh well.

That stinks, LG. Maybe the answer is something a little less "informal" would work. Bethesda to Springfield is a non-trivial drive!

And actually, it's Olney to Springfield. Now that HBD has joined FB, I think I may have actually seen her at the mall, but I didn't see Ebay nor O, and I had no idea what she looked like!

Oh drats, indeed. Yes, something more formal with a better meeting place next time!

So sorry, LG! I was there yesterday thinking nobody could come. Many people said they couldn't come on Sunday but Saturday would work. I feel so bad knowing how far you came.

Did Girl Grey play in the tower?

Oh, now I just went back and looked at your most recent DC meet-up thread and you did indeed say Saturday, but in the thread you started before that, Cristie said she couldn't do Saturday, so Sunday was agreed by all who responded.

Oh well. Girlie Grey played in the tower, but got more interested in the Blizzard Earl Grey bought from DQ, so abandoned it.

We'll have to plan something else, maybe in October. September is booking up already. Ugh.

Crap. Sorry for the mixup. Next time I'll pay Girl Grey's cover charge.

Oh, don't be silly! It was an honest mistake and honestly, it was nice to take a drive. We did get to eat some fairly authentic New Mexican food (Anita's), so it wasn't a total bust!
