kittenbot:
ohh i suppose i should ask my boss if i can leave early to go.
hey, kb, can i leave work early?
well, kb, i think that might be alright. can you get all your work done in time?
ofc, kb, that shouldn't be a problem in the slightest.
well, kb, then i think you can leave early.
yup. boss confirmed, i can leave early.
(i love being the boss)

Waiting to see if there is a fare sale (like the one they just had) that can put me in DC for the signing at a reasonable price. Gryph only lives about 15 minutes from Tyson's Corner...we've been there a few times and never had trouble finding parking in the big parking garage at the mall.
Unless someone else is closer and wants to do the legwork, I'll be happy to check around the next time I'm there (end of June) for a venue where we can meet and dine either pre- or post-signing.

Parking should not be a problem. The rush hour problems I refer to above are more of the "We are 3 miles away and there's no Metro to get there and traffic takes 20-25 minutes to cover 1 mile because all the traffic lights are saturated" type. The trick to Tyson's Corner is to avoid Rte 7 and Rte 123 as much as you possibly can. Use Gallows Road for access as much as you possibly can.

Maggiano's is in Tysons II on the other side. Family-service Italian-ish food with drinks available. Taking that as a departure point of reference, do you want something closer to B&N? Do you want something less formal?

That describes what we did at Marscon rather nicely, and that restaurant worked rather well.
As to distance, I don't have a reference as to how close the 2 are already... Personally I don't mind a walk, we should probably be showing up to the B&N early though. In my mind 6ish.

Would dinner be before or after? I was planning on leaving work (across the river) around 2-3 and then wandering the mall for a few hours, or camping out. Hadn't made up my mind yet.
