BWE DC 2021: October 2nd Saturday dinner - details, final count
Finally, the details for the Saturday night dinner 10/2
The venue is Chalie Palmer Steak at 101 Constitution Ave NW. Although that's the official address, you'll see on Google Maps that it's really closer to the intersection of 1st St NW and Louisiana Ave. An easy 2-3 block walk from the Hyatt Regency at 400 New Jersey Ave NW where many of us are staying.
Festivities begin at 6:00 PM with a Champagne reception, followed by a seated dinner at 7:15 PM in the Alcove room.
All-in costs are $240/person, including:
- an hour-long reception with passed hors-d'oeuvre (we'll need to bring a few bottles of Champagne!)
- 3-course plated dinner (choice of: 2 salads, steak or salmon entree, 2 desserts)
- coffee, tea, juice, soft drinks, bottled water
- unlimited corkage
- 5-6 decent Bordeaux stems (19 oz) per person
- tax and tip
We're planning the usual 8-top rounds so there's plenty of room for stems and bottles on the tables.
Final Count - 28
SF Ed and Lisa
Patrick
DavidG + Peggy
Howard - HM$
Timmy
Jon and Paula
Tom + Gail
Vinos' guests Jack and Caleb
Jim
Jay and Peggy (Mr. + Mrs. Vino)
Harry
Steve Roy
Joel's guest Dallas
Michael-P + Nalan
Chris (Winona Chief) + Marjorie
Joel
Vinos' guest Kosta
DavidG's guests Bob and Barb
Marcus
Everyone attending has confirmed that they are fully vaccinated.

Hopefully in Quebec City Oct 1 & Montreal 2/3 coming back from 5 days in Charlevoix that was interrupted by covid last year and put off to this Fall as long as things continue to unfold as we hope. Not sure when US border opening and we're not comfortable with flying just yet regardless. Should be fun though. Enjoy!

I think that's a no, Danny.
I'm sure the Canadian/US border will be open by then.
Anyone who CAN attend DC in October, please post here.
I don't want to hear from the regrets, negative attendee posts always drag the spirit down, as much as we would like to see you again soon.

Re: BWE DC 2021: October 1st and 2nd... Confirm attendance here.
Definitely in. Especially seeing as how it will just be a short uber ride for me. If we have the space, I have a couple good friends that I would like to introduce you all as well. Happy to help with the planning.
Re: BWE DC 2021: October 1st and 2nd... Confirm attendance here.
In theory I am in, but I can't plan for next week, let alone next month or later in the year.
So put me down as a yes but as with all things it is tentative.

Understood, Timmy...
I'm going to add Stefan and Lucie as well based on prior message.
I understand that anyone's plans can change, I just don't want to hear from definite "no's."
We still have four months to get Danny to change his mind.
Sure, Joel, bring your friends along!
Looking forward to seeing you, Davey, it's been a long time.

Paula and I hope to join. Working on it.
Jim, at your age and mine, almost all of us have some degree of cataracts.

Looks like we already have more than a quorum to make this happen. So I'm going to see if I can find some flights I can book for not a lot of points.

Please add Nalan and I to the attendee list.
Is there a wine plan and/or venues?

But of course! Wow, anyone who does not attend this post-pandemic BWE convention, featuring the legends of BWE, is insanity-plus.

Re: BWE DC 2021: October 1st and 2nd... Confirm attendance here.
I think we might need to get our old Saturday night room with a crowd this big, DavidG, no? What do you think.
Re: BWE DC 2021: October 1st and 2nd... Confirm attendance here.
I serve at the pleasure of the BD.
It was my impression that there are better, less expensive options known to the locals, but I will make arrangements at CP for Saturday 10/2 if that’s the group's desire or your decree.

Re: BWE DC 2021: October 1st and 2nd... Confirm attendance here.
It's amazing, by my count, 22 out of the 25 attendees on this list had attended a BWE convention by 2003....
That's amazing to me, two decades later.

Re: BWE DC 2021: October 1st and 2nd... Confirm attendance here.
We may have 2 DC friends that may come one night as soon as they know venues and costs (fair questions!)
Re: BWE DC 2021: October 1st and 2nd... Confirm attendance here.
With this many attendees, maybe a Thursday night might be added to the agenda?
I for one would be interested (I’ve always really enjoyed the Thursday nights at Conventions), but we of course need local buy-in.
