D.C. Premiere!
2008 Drama Desk Award Winner, Outstanding Solo Performance
Thurgood
By George Stevens Jr.
Directed by Leonard Foglia
Featuring Laurence Fishburne
"Absorbing, at times even stirring"
--The New York Times
"There ought to be a law--all bio-dramas should be as vivid and entertaining as Thurgood."
--New York Daily News
"Rich in history, humanity and humor"
--New York Daily News
In Thurgood, Tony Award–winning actor Laurence Fishburne reprises his Broadway role as Thurgood Marshall, the first African American to be appointed to the Supreme Court. From his early days as the civil rights lawyer who argued Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, a landmark case which led to the end of institutionalized segregation, to his appointment to the highest court in the land, Thurgood Marshall stood for justice while lifting the standing of his race.

John and I go here sometimes:

We've also been to the Falls church location of this one:

These are both Greek/pizza places. I'm drawing a blank on others just now. Maybe this will inspire others to respond.
See you in MD and NC soon!

Oooh, oooh - I know of a Canadian themed game-
http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/79828/a-few-acres-of-snow
It's about the long struggle between Britain and France for control of what eventually became Canada.
I don't think there's enough time to get it efore tomorrow, though :-(.
Call of Duty is supposed to have a Canadian squad deck. Also not possible before tomorrow.
Formula De Montreal?

Ticket to Ride?
Sheesh. Not much choice.

Here is some info about parking in Bethesda:
A map of parking in Bethesda. There is a lot and a garage nearby. We'll be on Wisconsin near Rugby - up near the top. Expect the lots near the hotel to fill up with NEC goers.
http://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/dpktmpl.asp?url=/content/DOT/Parking/Bethesda/bethesda-lot-map.asp
Rates for the garage and lot:
http://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/dpktmpl.asp?url=/content/DOT/Parking/Bethesda/bethesda-rates.asp
Where you can pay for your parking by cell phone. You need to set up an account ahead of time. You need to pay for most parking in Bethesda until 10 pm.
http://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/content/dot/parking/pdf/pay_by_cell_bethesda3.pdf
How you set up a pay your parking meter by cell phone account. There is a fee per transaction. I beleive it is .35. I believe long term parking is .65 per hour.
http://www.goparknow.com/
Also, it is 4 blocks from Metro.
If you are concerned about hauling games, here is a link to the games library:

Hope this helps.

Site Enhancements
|
Indicatation of who made a comment in the e-mails that go out. I am not able to access the site from work and it sometimes seems pretty useless to read the e-mails when I
don't know who said what.
And, if the e-mails contained more of the content of the message, that would help, too.
Polls that let you put the text associated with a choice would be helpful, too.
Thanks, Scott!

More site changes and request to enter names
|
I really appreciate the fix for multiple lines in e-mails. I cannot access this site from work, so e-mails are often how I keep up with posts during the week. I was so grateful that the body of the post was included in the e-mails, I wasn't going to worry about the lines being all put together in one paragraph...
And while I've "decoded" most everyone by their username just by the comments made, avatars and what I know about folks, it'll be nice to have at least a first name to identify folks. Being totally paranoid about my online presence, I'll postpone putting even my last initial until we have another Sheila posting regularly.There ARE advantages to not having a popular name.

Of course there is always room for the two of you.

I'd like to try Magnum Sal sometime. Perhaps at the 10th anniversary gig? I won't be able to do 4th Sat in September and have a commitment in Baltimore for part of 2nd Sat in September. Thanks for the info on Grand Cru. It sounded like it might work, but I wasn't sure enough to actually but it. Sounds like I can give it a miss.
My expectations for the Resistance weren't real high, but it's good to have confirmation. Hi Tucker!

I am going and was wondering if anyone else was coming from the DC area on Thursday. I'll be off that day and was hoping to catch a ride with someone who was going earlier on Thursday. I'd be happy to help with gas or a meal on the way. I'm in Silver Spring, but I can make my way elsewhere by bus and/or subway if it helps make it more convenient. I'm open as to time.
