I'm expecting laptop frisbee to start at any moment.
It's always been my philosophy that if people are required to work past midnight, copious amounts of alcohol should be a mandate.
I think that's universal.

Edit - I am amazingly sober for being as drunk as I actually am.

My uncle lives in Reston. If you see an eccentric looking 70 year old guy wearing a light blue oxford, short sleeves with stains, black slacks, black shoes, glasses, and one thick strand of hair combed over from one ear to the other, and a bunch of teeth missing that's him.

I wish I was in Northern Virginia. I freaking love that place. Virginia is absolutely beautiful in Fall.

Radbird: If you want to try authentic Ethiopian Cuisine, you should drive to Washington DC downtown. They have some restaurants in 9th street and also on 18th street. It would be an hour drive from where you stay but its absolutely worth it. And if you havent gone already, you should go and see Natural History Museum. It will make your day.

Thanks, Dill. But the only time I'm not at work seems to be between 2AM and 8AM. :x

When I have been able to grab some food, I've been going to Vienna. They seem to have a nice variety of restaurants outside of the normal chains. Any recommendations for something around there?

Bombay Tandoor is a pretty good Indian restaurant in Vienna. Apart from that I dont know. We normally go to Falls Church/Fairfax/Arlington for good Indian/Mediterranean food.

That's walking distance from my hotel. Thanks! :cool:

(now, look at the carry out menu and tell me what to order....)

My favorite is Tandoori Chicken and Butter Chicken with Naan. Then for dessert, Gulab Jamun!

Also I thought you are staying near Dulles airport and not Vienna? If you are staying in Vienna those Ethiopian restaurants which I mentioned should just be 30 mts away from you.

I'm working in Reston but staying in Tyson's Corner. I'd love to get down to the city, but not sure the work schedule will allow this trip. I'll definitely try the Indian place though.

3 more days. My flight is at 12:20 on Friday. I won't see the hotel room much between now & then, and will undoubtedly miss Games 1 & 2 of the WS, but I can see the finish line.
