Will do, AGBF!!! (When''s the little bundle of joy due??? New little ones are so exciting!!!)

MLK *should* mean a day off for all VA schools...but they may have taken it back with the week they had to cancel classes before Xmas from the huge snowstorm.

thing...for parking, there''s usually street parking available, but per DC standards, you might have to take a few loops around the block to find it. I generally have better luck North and West of the circle than South. North and slightly to the East might be okay, too.

I''ll just be metro-ing it since I live near Huntington and can just park there easily.
vc10um - oh goodness, I live near Huntington too, and that''s definitely how I''d be going! I''m still trying to sneak away for a couple of hours - if I can manage it, wanna meet up at the Metro and ride in together??
Definitely. I''ll keep watch on the thread tomorrow to see if you can make it. I plan on getting to the Metro around 1...I feel like if I''m late to TJB, as the organizer, that''s a big

, lol. Plus I''m just perpetually early.
 
i'm so excited about tomorrow and i can't wait to meet all of you!

speaking of Metro, i looked up on Google Maps to see which stop to get off on, and it seems that Farragut North is closest to TJB rather than Dupont Circle. i'm so glad i checked because i was going to get off at Dupont, and that's a much longer walk down Connecticut Ave! just a heads up for those who are Metro-ing, and have never been to TJB...like myself.

vc10um - i plan on getting on the Metro @ 1pm too. i wish i could meet up and ride w/ you (and possibly cellentani too) but i'm coming from Shady Grove. we could've chatted about Mathnet all the way down!

ok, off to do some jewelry cleaning and give myself a manicure!

Yippeeee!!! I can make it! I''m going to park in the King''s Hwy garage - do you want to meet by the metro card machines? Let me know if you use the Huntington Ave. entrance, and we''ll figure something else out.

Awww, thanks vip! Can''t wait to meet you!
 
I just saw this thread! You know, I was just thinking how I could use some PS advice on a new project...and then I see this thread

.

This is a fun idea.
 
I''ll be there tomorrow!

Just to recap, we are meeting at the TJB at 2? Then off somewhere else to eat or drink something?
 
Ugh, my 3 year old is sick and running a fever. I just (finally) got him down to bed, but now I''m not sure if I can make it tomorrow. If he''s still not well in the morning, I think I''m going to have to miss the GTG tomorrow - I''m so sorry!

I was so looking forward to meeting everyone - hopefully if I can''t make it tomorrow, I will be able to see everyone at the Tyson''s Corner GTG!

I will post again in the morning and let you know for sure ...

I''ll also be parking on the King''s Hwy. side. By the card machines will work for me. Will be wearing red peacoat with black scarf and faux tan Uggs. Should be there at 1.

Sounds good! I''ll be the Korean girl in fluffy black boots and white puffer coat. I''m probably only going to be able to stay for an hour or two, but I''m really looking forward to it!

Ohhhhh...vesper, I''m crossing my fingers that your little man is feeling better so you can join us!

If not, we''ll see you in Tyson''s!!!
 
Hey everyone, thanks for the well-wishes, but unfortunately, the little one still has a fever and is not feeling well, so I need to stay home with him today. I''m so disappointed, but I can''t wait to meet you all at the Tyson''s GTG!

I'm so sorry to hear that! Although I cannot make it, I was rooting for you to be there. I know you also love The Tiny Jewel Box (which I am dying to see). What week in February have you all picked for the Tyson's get together? I am wondering if there is any chance it will be when my daughter has a week of vacation and we will be in Virginia! (She has no school February 15-19.)

Hugs,
AGBF

Can''t wait to see pics!!!
