Actually... a one-day thing is looking more and more doable, I'm only not certain about the cat. Cheezass, mark me down for "probably". Srsly.
 
How far is Washington from New Jersey and does this country possess any effective trains? If so I can maybe come.

It’s about a 3 hour train trip from Newark to DC, and there are about 6 trains that leave on the 22nd that would get you to Union Station before 12:45. Minimum cost is about $72 one way.

The Acela is faster (about 2.5 hours) but more expensive.

Not sure where you are in NJ, but go to www.amtrak.com to get pricing and exact schedules.

Like others have said – the restaurant is right near Union Station, so you would not need any other transportation once you got there.

Good chance I'll be in Wilmington, DEaround them. A jaunt down to DC wouldnt' be a hassel

From Wilmington, it is about an hour and a half, and starts at $42 one way.

For the train? I've done DC - Wilmington on it before. Actually that's a good idea. I was going to drive it, but then I remembered DC traffic is crazy. Train + cab = more drinking. Nothing wrong with that.

It's still up in the air though, largely dependent on probate finishing up. Can't make any promises.

Yup - the train. And no need for a cab, at least on the DC side...
 
Change my maybe to a definitely. The visiting friend had to change her plans to another day. :)
 
Wait isn't Nov 22nd Thanksgiving?
Nope, Thanksgiving is the Thursday afterward. Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday, and this is a Saturday...
 
Bad news everyone. I will definitely not be able to attend.

Instead, I will be in Philadelphia that Saturday. Best of luck to everyone and have fun!
 
Reconfirming. 1245 hours still the time? Thank God for Metro discount weekends. :)
 
I'll be there. Do we have a table name or whatnot? Seeing how I have never seen any of you before - how will I find you at the restaurant? :confused:
 
12:45 at Capital Brewery? Sure thing. I'll look for a table full of nerds and I'll fit right in. Y'all can meet the CFC's esteemed economist, or something.

I hope they have football on.
 
Lads - Please get photos, I want to see a dozen nerds in one shot - the sweetest taboo
 
I'm kinda curious how the conversation will go...probably completely boring..lol
 
Ack, I just saw this. I will be unable to attend as I will be going to a board game party during the day and my sister's birthday party that night.
