The 6th DC meetup will be on March 7th at Pizzeria Uno's at

Only if I can have about $70 to spare - that is how much I need for the round-trip between Pittsburgh and DC via Amtrak and/or Greyhound.

I might be able to make it. It's a long journey from Dupont to Union Station, you know. I just hope I don't forget about it, kind of like
Marion and his income taxes. Kidney transplant, stat!

I might be able to come. But that's a big "might." Probably depends on how much work I have that weekend. If it was one week later, I'd have a better chance of coming, because that's spring break. --

Union Station is a stop on Metro's Red Line. From the description for
Meetup 2:
The DC metro system is one of the highest regarded public transportation systems in the United States. Normally this isn't saying much, but the system is rather good. All directions given will be provided in terms of the Washington Metro system. Note that there is also a decently-sized parking lot at Union Station itself, so you may just want to drive all the way in. Beware, however, that it can get quite crowded and the prices may be steep.
Several Stations, including Silver Spring, Landover and others have significant amounts (as in hundreds of spaces) of parking, and it's free on weekends.
Metro does allow bicycles on trains during off-peak times, and this being on a Saturday, it qualifies as off-peak.
