Hey thanks for reminding me, I have to call the navy lodge and get a room, it's a Tuesday so hopefully it won't be all booked (I've stayed at that lodge before and its very nice) I believe you are a navy wife? My husband is retired navy (3 years retired).

 

yes i am!

ooh glad you have been there!

(was quizzing the receptionist about the area when i called to make the reservation!)

the one by bolling afb, right?

I believe there are two lodges in DC, one up north and the other south of the beltway. I have stayed in both. Both are nice, nothing real fancy, but clean, safe area's, reasonably priced. The one down south is just almost right beside the base housing. Across the expressway althought is not a good area to go into, and there is really no need to do so.

and deb, i meant to tell you that i ended up getting a room at the navy lodge - all the hotels in springfield that werent too expensive looked a bit scary... and tyson's corner were all expensive!

i would have liked fairfield or courtyard, but ALL the marriott chains in the area were listed as no rooms available for that date!

is there a convention or something going on that week???:blink:

 

That's odd... I can't think of anything, but there's always something going

on around here, so who knows. Where's the Navy lodge? In any case, I'm

glad you found something!

I drove up to DC to go to the mall (Ikea) about two weeks ago. I took me over 3 hours, and I didn't even go near the "beltway".

 

Got you beat - 51, 52 in June.

 

LOL!

Wow, you're awful calm about it! Glad you have a positive answer though.

 

Can't wait for the show... Hope we see you there!

 

Does everyone who's coming know about the little souvenir mgpm's putting

together to give to Mika? If you want to send her something to be

included, it has to be no larger than 4"x4" -- and you'll need to PM her for

her address so you can mail it in! Just wanted to be sure you all were aware...

Okay soooooo

Hearing about all those amazing stories of how people get to meet mika backstage like in Austrailia or how Jenny got pulled up on stage and all that jazzz

 

Do you guys worry?

I like have to tell myself that it won't happen to me so I won't get dissapointed

 

But I'm praying that we'll at least get to meet him because then I think of all the stories where people don't have to luck to even meet him!

Oh ok. But I meant if we wanted to get close to the stage (like first 5-10 rows or so). So its basicallly just one big pit?

 

I've never been to the 9:30 Club before, but yes, that's the impression I'm

getting... one big pit, with maybe a balcony I think someone said. I guess we really need to figure out when we're getting there -- I want to be there early, but not sure HOW early...

I was thinking 5 as well. I have to talk with my neighbor

who I'm dragging along with me and see if she can

be ready to go that early ( I think she works til 3)

 

When we figure this out, we'll post here and try

to rally the troops! :)

Yup! I love it because even if you aren't in the front at first, you can eventually push yourself through.

 

Anyway, yeah, at the ground floor it's just empty space with a bar towards the back, and bathrooms, so some people hang by there. Then there's a balcony that goes around the sides. It's really not a very big place.
