You will be very close to my stompin' grounds, Xar.
I am leaning toward Sunday the 13th, but Magickmaker doesn't have her work schedule for next week yet (ah, the joys of shift work...) so I'm not prepared to commit yet. Hopefully they'll post her schedule by the end of today.
As for restaurants -- jeez, put the pressure on me, Creator, why don't ya.
It depends what you guys are up for. There's a tapas place called
Jaleo in Crystal City (you'll probably be able to walk there, Xar) that's run by Jose Andres -- and a whole lot of other places around there, too, but I've only been to Jaleo.
There's a boatload of restaurants about two blocks from my apartment in Shirlington, four of which I can recommend depending on how much y'all want to spend:
Capitol City Brewing,
Carlyle Grand,
Busboys and Poets, or
Luna Grille. Cap City Brewing is a microbrewery with pub food. Busboys and Poets is kind of artsy -- they have open-mic poetry nights -- and the menu emphasizes organic food and stuff. Luna Grille is more of a family-style place -- Magickmaker and I ate there Monday night. Carlyle Grand is the priciest option, but their food is worth it and I'm told their Sunday brunch is one of the best in DC. There's no Metro stop here, but we could buzz over and pick you up, Xar -- you will be less than 15 minutes away.
Or if you want to go *really* cheap, there's a California Pizza Kitchen at Pentagon City Metro.
Sorry for the prolonged absence... As some of you know, I moved to the U.S. two months ago, and between a new job and the necessity to settle in, I didn't have much time left to do anything else yet 
Anyway, my new job involves a bit more traveling than the old one, and since I came here I already met with Syl. In addition to that, though, I'm going to Washington D.C. from November 12 to November 17, and I was wondering what would be the chances to meet with the DC contingent of Watchers again 
Let me know!
