I am taking next week off to hang with family in DC. I can come up there a bit early and attend a little get-together next week if this workd for others there. I will be staying in Fairfax, so Virginia would be best for me, but I’ll certainly schlep into DC or even MD if that’s easier for you locals. I’m thinking Wednesday night, the night before Thanksgiving? Let me know on this thread, make the plans, and I shall be there with bells on! * * * Yer pal, Satan ---

I’m pretty new to the boards, but I’d love to meet all you guys. But alas, I’m only in DC for school, and so will be at home for most of Thanksgiving week. Next time, though, I’m all about it. ---

Satan, Sqrlcub and I are already getting together in DC on Friday late afternoon. Our main topics of discussion will be the New Yorkers and felching. I think you could provide a nice angle on anal sex, however. ## Does that sound appealing? Formerly “Melanie the Computer Idiot” ---

Friday cannot work for me, as I will be in West Virginia at my sisters celebrating Thanksgiving. I realize that Friday is not Thanksgiving, but my family has always been less than persnickety on the actual DAYS we celebrated, and just picked a day that was convenient to all. * * * Yer pal, Satan ---

Hey Satan, If you like we could have dinner at Annie’s Paramount Steakhouse. Delicious Bull in the Pan. YUM!

Satan, would you object to hangin in Georgetown? There’s a cool blues bar named the “Saloon” on M Street that’s awesome. I know I’m not a regular poster, but getting the chance to meet The Prince of Darkness appeals to me. ---

I’ll be visiting my family in Reston that week, so I just might join you. (Hey, Falcon, you coming?

OK, that was the second last time. I am an IDIOT. Apparently there is no way to close Netscape Navigator on this computer, AND no way to keep it from storing my username and password. Yikes. I think I’ll go cower under something. BTW, the triple post above is a forgery, in case y’all hadn’t figured that out already… [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dc-dopers/11467.md?page=2)
