Okay, I had said we were thinking of seeing Dar Williams on the 27th, but she’s also playing a show on the 26th. We’ll try for that so we can hopefully make it to meet msrobyn on the 27th.
Norfolk is a day trip so I can take care of some business. I’m going down, signing some paperwork, having lunch with ChiefScott, and coming back to DC.
If the 27th doesn’t work, I’m open for the rest of the weekend. I’m planning to leave DC April 2nd (so I can go to Spiffled).
Robin
Sorry I didn’t see this before, robyn!
I’m a little over an hour from Knoxville. When will you be moving through–maybe I can catch you!
Feel free to e-mail!
Will do, Beth!
On a sad note, I’m not able to make Spiffled. 
There’s been a new wrench thrown into my plans in Texas (thanks, robgruver) and I need to get to Texas. (That and my mother basically made it clear I am to be home in time for Passover. Damn those Jewish mothers! ;j )
Robin
Hey now! Don’t blame me that I am irresistable. 
I didn’t say it was a BAD thing
Robin
OK… it’s a little over a week to go.
I am probably leaving DC after lunch March 30. This puts me into Tennessee that night or March 31, Arkansas April 1, and Dallas on April 1 or 2.
I will also be going through Philadelphia en route to DC.
Robin
Where in Tennessee does that put you on the 31st?
Hmmm, let’s see if we can put something together here in Dallas. Looking at another thread called Free trip to Dallas - now what?, it seems that Quadzilla is going to end up here that same weekend.
It may be hard to coordinate this if you aren’t sure what day you’ll be here, but we can probably come up with something.
Jim
I’m taking I-40, which goes through Knoxville, Nashville, and Memphis. What I’ve done in the past is timed it so I spend the night in Virginia, then start fresh in TN in the morning, because this stretch is the longest single part. IOW, I should be in Knoxville sometime right before lunchtime.
An April Fools’ Dopefest sounds like fun, actually. I can bring my widdle brudder. I’m sure he’ll have a good time.
Robin
Just before lunch on Saturday the 31st, hmm? Still wanna meet for lunch or something? I can be in Knoxville within two hours.
Since I have to take I-81 anyway, I can meet you in Johnson City for brunch.
Robin
Really? That would be great! E-mail me and I will give you my phone number.
Want to lunch with DC Dopers on the 30th, then? 
RTFirefly, I would love to meet you for lunch. (I’m familiar enough with the DC Metro system that I can find you.)
evilbeth, check your e-mail.
Well, hell. Then I can’t meet you, Robyn…I work up in Columbia, so I can’t do lunch.
Would dinner work? Maybe the 28th?
Robin
Yeah, that would work. I just can’t do lunch, and ESPECIALLY not that week, which (hopefully) is the last week this damn system will be in testing…
Lunch on 3/30: meet you at noon, at the White House entrance of the MacPherson Square Metro stop?
I’ll be there with bells on!!!
Falcon, I’ll hook up with you in chat before I leave.
If anyone else wants to get together, please let me know!!
Robin
