Consensus seems to be that we will be meeting before the signing at Gordon Biersch which is located directly across from B&N's first story enterance inside the mall.  As a plus, they seem to have a lot of specialty beers, and have a bald owner/cook in a spotless white apron.  Ok I made up the part about the bald owner/cook.  A DFRPG session may ensue

Thanks guys

Awesome!  I will call to see if they will let us make reservations a week or two ahead of time when we get a final head count.  Also, if they don't catch on I will make the reservations under the name Harry Dresden.  ;D

If they don't initially, I'm sure someone will eventually considering there will proally be some kind of sign proclaiming the #1 best selling Author of the Dresden Files will be visiting straight across from them.

I'm not too worried about it.  Once it's written down in the book or entered in the computer I doubt they'll think twice about it.  At least until you show up dressed as Harry, that may warrant a few raised eyebrows, but considering it's DC, I doubt you will be the strangest thing they've ever seen.  If they do push the issue I will just tell them we are having a Wake to honor the memory of our dear departed friend Harry.   :'(

Check out the Tysons Corner Center website's directory map.  It's in the upper right corner.

It also happens to overlook the Beltway.

As you come down from Breezewood, keep an eye out on the right for Hepburn Orchards Farm Market.    PIE!

Don't buy the apples, though.  I have NEVER gotten good apples from there.

Their winterstore apples like GoldRush are not bad.     Their summer Rambos, their mountaineers and pink ladys leave a lot to be desired.

How long do these signings usually take?  I lived 5 minutes from the Tysons Corner Mall last year, so I kinda really know the area, but seeing as how I work in DC at 10pm, I kinda need to skedaddle kinda early.  Not sure where I'll be coming from, be it Southern PG or St Mary's Counties MD...  Either way, I'd like to come.

Arrive early!  There's no telling how many folks will show up, and you'll want to make sure you're out the door with enough time to get to work.  Ask an employee which seating area gets called up first, so you get through the line quickest.
