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?

When I make my travel plans in July I hope I can run them by you for more input.

Hiya, I'm new to the world of Harry Dresden. They are fantastic and I am frothing at the mouth in anticipation for Ghost Story. My best bud and I will be making the trek from NC on the 1st for the signing and we like the idea of a group of people meeting up for lunch or dinner before hand and being able to talk to fellow enthusiasts.
Maggiano's is a great idea for large groups, they have this family style dining and for about $30ea you pick 2 salads, 2 appetizers, 4 entrees and 2 desserts. They will continue to bring you food until you tell them to stop. It's heaven. :) There is also a PF Chang's, a Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant (we could pretend we're at Mac's, but it's a little too yuppyish), and Luciano Restaurant and Pizzeria (they've got coupons on their web-site for the fiscally challenged). If these don't appeal there are a couple links below with lists of local restaurants.

This is going to be so awesome. So, I haven't been to any book signings, Jim or otherwise, but I'm definitely going to make it to this one. No joke, I will gnaw off my own arm. Anyway, I am new and I was thinking it would be pretty awesome to meet up with you other fans, so... is that cool? Also, I'm going to try and drag my DFRPG group down there with me.
