Going to be down in Tyson's Corner VA October 23 -27.

Anyone want to get together and talk watches over some beverages

Pretty open to which date. I'm free from 5 o'clock on.

Would love to, but we have theater on the 23rd and then we're headed to NYC for the rest of the week, returning to DC on the 29th.

I might be around. I'm in DC, but it's hard for me to get out to Tyson's during the week. Please let me know if something gets planned and I'll try to make it.

Just 20 years too late. In the '90s my company had an office at 8500 Leesburg Pike

Awesome ~ I'm open to either Tyson's Corner or somewhere in DC. Any days during that time that work best on everyone's schedule?

Need to set a time and place for next week.

Dates that would work best for me would be:

Tues Oct 25 Wed Oct 26 or Thur Oct 27.

Anytime from 6pm on works on my end.

I will be staying in Tyson's Corner but am open to meeting up somewhere in DC if that is more convenient (any insight on traffic around 6pm from there to DC would be appreciated before I commit to that lol).

Not being from the area I only know the known places like Capital Grille, the Palm, Ruth's Chris ~ figure we could grab a high top table bar side and talk watches over some beverages or have a bite to eat if any one is so inclined.

Don't know Eddie V's(I'm open to it), The Palm is adjacent to The Galleria which has a couple of watch stores. Might that work?

Those days all work for me.

Thanks for the reminder PM! Completely forgot about it.

I was at The Galleria a couple weeks ago and the liljenquist in is being renovated, so the storefront they have now is fairly small. There is Lenkersdorfer which usually has some good variety in tysons 1 and a couple restaurants in there and close by we could grab a high top at. Coastal Flats (love the great american restaurants personally), gordon biersch, and barrel and bushel come to mind.

If it is done in the Tysons area, and depending on number of heads, I can secure a room for us at the Palm. The Lenkersdorfer guys I'm sure would be happy to host us to browse and shoot the breeze. Both of these aspects just requires a phone call.

I'm happy to help setting up either aspect.
