VA: DC: MD: Winter Gathering - N.A.S.M. annex ?

From: thedoubtfulguests (thedoubtfulguests@yahoo.com) | Date: 2003-12-14 18:20:23 UTC
I propose for the VA/DC/MD winter gathering:

Saturday, January 24th
10:30 am - whenever (at least 2:00pm)
Place: VA in the Food Court at the new National Air & Space Museum
annex officially known as the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center near Dulles
Airport.

A new exciting place that people want to see. There are many boxes
in the surrounding area including Herndon, Reston, Fairfax and Loudon
Counties.

What do you think?

The date is tricky of course. More people voted in favor of 1/31 but
two people vetoed that date a no other date was vetoed. So 1/24 or
2/7 were runners up. I chose Jan. for it's dead of winterishness.

The End Gang from Ct. will try to make that date. We'll notify our Va. boxin'
family as well. we're coming down the day after Christmas also. Hope to get
La Chola's mystery box on 12/28. We'll look forward to Jan. work permitting!

Date is fine. Time is fine. Location is fine - ten minutes or so from
my house! - if you don't mind the $12/car parking. If hubby can take
the kids around, maybe I'll get a chance to meet some of you.

Well darn, I was really hoping for Greenbelt since Dulles is a LOONG drive away. (But
as a lurker, I figured I probably shouldn't vote.) Anyway, I'll try and be there and meet
all of you who I've emailed about finding your boxes, even if I'm darned quiet the rest
of the time.

So where in the heck IS this annex? Dulles is at least an hour and a half away, so I
really have no idea where/how to get over there for anything.

Thanks,

This will get you to the directions. There is also lots
of other information here as well. Remember you want
information for the Hudvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly
not at the National Mall.

Holy Moley! That's really far away. Hopefully, I'll manage to visit anyway. So what
happens at one of these shindigs? Do we all go boxing en masse? Do we sit around
in a coffeeshop and say hi to each other and chat?

Howls,
Werewulf
