5 or 6pm on fridays (I'm scared to ask).

...I don't know of any specific hotels and stuff, Check Yahoo for city info for

overwhelming experience at first and we don't need you hemorrhaging your life
savings in the first 10 minutes :-)

  Re: Going to DC, where to stay?
 
(...) In checking, the Greenburg event is actually the 18th, and we will be there this weekend (10-12) I may have to consider a 2nd trip just for the show (again, Woodbridge is only 5 hrs driving time). Wife is working that weekend, so I am sure I (...) (23 years ago, 6-Aug-01, to lugnet.loc.us.va, lugnet.loc.us.va.arl, lugnet.org.us.wamalug)
