Here are the people who have responded in the affirmative (or maybe) to this little get together.

As for the place, I know I could just pick one since I started this whole thing, but I preferred to get other people's opinions not only for places they liked, but also for places that most could get to without problem. So based upon responses, unless someone has a real problem with this decision, let's go with this.


Saturday, August 8, 11:45am, at Foster's Grill in Bristow.


http://www.mapquest.com/maps?name=Fosters+Grille-Bristow&city=Bristow&state=VA&address=10266+Bristow+Center+Dr&zipcode=20136&country=US&latitude=38.733786&longitude=-77.549509&geocode=ADDRESS&id=42063688


Is everyone Ok with this?


This Foster's is located in the new Bristow shopping complex which is bordered by route 28, Linton Hall Road, and Vint Hill Road. It is on the Linton Hall Road side at the end of a strip of shops. Go south from Manassas, pass under the 234 Bypass, and continue about 2 miles to Linton Hall Road where you'll turn right at the light. Then at the next light (I believe) turn left into the center.

That works for me. I don't mind driving the little bit of extra distance, the area that one's located in isn't as "busy" as Rt234 Bus., and I like that :)

Unless there is a Zombie or Alien invasion or some other freak occurrence... count me 100% in.

(in the case of a Zombie invasion I believe the event should be canceled due to the fact that the majority of us would be going out hunting... damn those nazi zombies!)

You might be interested to know that, I believe, two years ago, the Inn at Little Washington was rated as the number 1 restaurant in the United States and the number 2 restaurant in the world. People come from Europe to dine there.

Is everyone on this list still good to go? Also, I have a question to those who have put together something like this before.

I know that Foster's welcomes OC people having been to three of them while carrying. However, is it necessary to contact them in advance because of the number of people involved or should we just show up and take our chances?
