DC Herf'A'Paloza - June 23

[Cabaiguan Juan]

One question. I did get the company to pay for the Friday night hotel, but the travel agency put me in a Best Western in Oxon Hill, MD. I see from maps.google.com that it's only a few miles from Shellys, but what are my options?? Should I drive the car downtown and park, or does the Metro go to that area, or what??

I just realized that you are probably going to have the Woodrow Wilson Brisdge, its the part of !-495 that is just west of Oxon Hill, as seen on mapquest. There is a lot of construction going on on that bridge and there is always a back up or substancial delay. I dont think it would be a problem if you are coming up middle of the day on 495, but a disaster if you are trying to do that during rush hour. One possible solution is to take I-395 into DC. Once you cross over the Potomac stay in the middle lane and Look to exit at South Capital Street (a Right) Take South Capital Street and go over a bridge(about a mile), and when you come to land on the other side of the river, you will be able to take I-295 south, or Suitland Parkway(exit 3a on 295) which will take you to Branch Ave/MD-5.

Sorry to bring this much confusion to the matter, but you want to avoid W.Wilson Bridge if possible. illilli, can you help me out on this, fellow MD'er

I just read it, LMFAO! I guess now I need to find a blue mu-mu now. If nothing else, everyone will know who I am! Everyone, look for the blue buoy in the middle of Shelley's smoking a cigar. Oh, wait the cigar doesn't help, does it?

I may not make it. We're losing another tech at work on wednesday, and I'll likely be picking up the slack. We already lost 3 a week or 2 ago 'cause they're marines and had to go to dril. ow this guys taking a vacation. I'm going to try my best but I can't make any promises guys.
Sorry.

Oh, but if I do, I'll be wearing tan shorts with some random t-shirt and a tan and blue cap. I'm 5'11" about 200lbs and wear glasses. I'll be the soberest one. I don't understand why I can't be allowed to follow the drinking laws of my own country..... ;)
