I’m going to really try. Making it to DC isn’t a lot of fun from my area, but I don’t believe I have anything to do that day. Besides- mexican food. ---

> [@TruCelt](#): > > Is Chevy’s inside the Pentagon City Mall? Across the street in Pentagon Center. If you take Metro, exit to your right and continue straight after getting off the escalator. It’s on your left just after Starbucks. ---

Wish I could be there…I’ve actually eaten at Chevy’s when my SO had an apartment right next to Pentagon City, so at least I can visualize you all being there. ---

I only just (an hour or so ago) learned the news, and am sorry that I missed this memorial gathering. I’m one of the many who never met Opal IRL yet are saddened by her passing, and I gladly would have hoisted a drink in her name. > [@Green\_Cymbeline](#): > > Also, here is the event page in the SDMB Facebook group: [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/events/443447719070154/) There’s an SDMB Facebook group? Could I trouble someone for the link, please? A search on “SDMB” wasn’t fruitful. ---

If you are a member of the SDMB and want to join this... It’s listed under Straight Dopers. I’m really sorry I couldn’t make it. I was so sick that Sunday. I took my daughter home early, came home and fell asleep until the next day. ☹ ---
