OK, so the $205 was for Sunday checkout? Makes sense based on my past experiences.

One of my favorite things to do is go on long hikes through the monuments, and having oysters at that place near the Treasury with Stefan and Lucie, and a trip to Macarthur's and Black Salt, and of course the galleries and museums. We'll have two full days to do some of that stuff, can't wait!
Re: BWE DC 2021: October 1st and 2nd... Confirm attendance here.
I booked
Thurs @ $252 senior rate
Fri - Sun @ $189 senior rate
I did two bookings because the senior rate per day for Thurs - Sun is $225. Go figure. Typical for Hyatt, though. Senior rate is for age 62+.

Lucie, Jim, and I have a DC tradition that will continue!

Envious here. Probably there won't be any room left when Mr. Trudeau will decide to open the border...
Re: BWE DC 2021: October 1st and 2nd... Confirm attendance here.
Nicolas, if you can come, we'll make room!

I predict Mr Trudeau will open the border long before October 1st, I suggest you make your fully refundable reservation.

I am sadly out of town for a conference in California that weekend and likely don’t return until Sunday morning.
Sorry to miss!

Sorry you can't make it, Noah, I did get my hearing aids since we last met, though, you were a major inspiration.
I only wear them in court and public, which is still quite rare these days, but they have definitely been life changing.

A big group, just like the olden days. Should be epic.
Let me know when you tie down your number of attendees Marcus.

Washington is a skip and a hop from London, Quebec, or pretty much anyplace else....
Re: BWE DC 2021: October 1st and 2nd... Confirm attendance here.
Indeed. I’ve wondered why our international brethren aren’t “in” yet for this. Surely by October borders will be fully open, for the vaccinated at least, between the US, Canada, and Europe.

...especially since hotel rooms can be cancelled right up til 24 hours beforehand.
We had one Covid death in Maine this week.
We still need to use common sense, but the nightmare is over.

Christ you can walk from Orlando to Washington.
Re: BWE DC 2021: October 1st and 2nd... Confirm attendance here.
We're booked Wednesday through Monday.

EDIT -- Southwest's fare sale ended on June 17th.
Southwest airfares are currently 50% off for travel around convention time. Our tickets from Denver to DCA were $223 each. No idea how long the sale lasts.

Nice! Looking forward to seeing you and Gail, Tom, it has been too long!
That's heartbreaking about Boston, Jean Fred. I don't understand the rationale.

Any updates on BWE DC? By this point I've usually written someone a check and we have logistics getting finalized.

Me too. I’ve been very consumed with working on a trial coming up in September. Last I knew David and Marcus were working on venues.

Last I heard David was going to check in to Charlie Palmer for the Saturday night dinner.
I haven't heard about plans for Thursday and Friday nights.
I'm a little nervous because I'm three weeks away from a mid-September murder trial that will last about two weeks, so I'm going to be pretty occupied for the next five weeks, leading just about up to the convention.
Right now this is the list of attendees:
Confirmed attendees:
SF Ed and Lisa
Patrick
Jim
Winona Chief + Marjorie
Stefan + Lucie
DavidG + Peggy + 4 guests
Timmy
Joel + 3
Jon and Paula
Stu and Kathy
HM$ + Lisa
Marcus +2
Tom + Gail
Jacques + Jill
Michael-P + Nalan
Mr. + Mrs. Vino + 3 guests
Harry
Steve Roy
Marco
Total: 42

Re: BWE DC 2021: October 1st and 2nd... Confirm attendance here.
Given BWE’s track record at Charlie Palmer and Black Salt, I imagine the Friday night dinner requires the most prep work?
Would a headcount for the Thursday and Friday night events be helpful for the planners at this point? Steve Roy and I are in for both Thursday and Friday (and of course Saturday).

Re: BWE DC 2021: October 1st and 2nd... Confirm attendance here.
Also, do we need a Thursday night head planner still?
If it can be arranged from afar and without prior cred, I am happy to organize the Thursday night gathering. I just left a message with the manager at Black Salt to get the ball rolling.

Winona is usually a good Thursday night planner.

I do like your "Pomerol Thursday" idea.
Re: BWE DC 2021: October 1st and 2nd... Confirm attendance here.
I am on for Friday and Saturday, I can't make Thursday (extended my trip to Paris so won't be back in the US until midweek).
