hoochatootch Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 Hey thanks for reminding me, I have to call the navy lodge and get a room, it's a Tuesday so hopefully it won't be all booked (I've stayed at that lodge before and its very nice) I believe you are a navy wife? My husband is retired navy (3 years retired). yes i am! ooh glad you have been there! (was quizzing the receptionist about the area when i called to make the reservation!) the one by bolling afb, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marianne Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 yes i am!ooh glad you have been there! (was quizzing the receptionist about the area when i called to make the reservation!) the one by bolling afb, right? That's south of DC right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoochatootch Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 That's south of DC right? yep - across the river from reagan - off the 295 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marianne Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I believe there are two lodges in DC, one up north and the other south of the beltway. I have stayed in both. Both are nice, nothing real fancy, but clean, safe area's, reasonably priced. The one down south is just almost right beside the base housing. Across the expressway althought is not a good area to go into, and there is really no need to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdeb Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 and deb, i meant to tell you that i ended up getting a room at the navy lodge - all the hotels in springfield that werent too expensive looked a bit scary... and tyson's corner were all expensive!i would have liked fairfield or courtyard, but ALL the marriott chains in the area were listed as no rooms available for that date! is there a convention or something going on that week??? That's odd... I can't think of anything, but there's always something going on around here, so who knows. Where's the Navy lodge? In any case, I'm glad you found something! dcdeb <11 days 9 hours 22 minutes until MIKA in DC!> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdeb Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I drove up to DC to go to the mall (Ikea) about two weeks ago. I took me over 3 hours, and I didn't even go near the "beltway". Got you beat - 51, 52 in June. LOL! *happily passes Oldest DC Oldling award to Marianne* dcdeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you have a positive answer though. Can't wait for the show... Hope we see you there! Does everyone who's coming know about the little souvenir mgpm's putting together to give to Mika? If you want to send her something to be included, it has to be no larger than 4"x4" -- and you'll need to PM her for her address so you can mail it in! Just wanted to be sure you all were aware... dcdeb <8 days 22 hours 21 minutes to MIKA in DC!> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjoshi Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Okay soooooo Hearing about all those amazing stories of how people get to meet mika backstage like in Austrailia or how Jenny got pulled up on stage and all that jazzz Do you guys worry? I like have to tell myself that it won't happen to me so I won't get dissapointed But I'm praying that we'll at least get to meet him because then I think of all the stories where people don't have to luck to even meet him!

mahimahi1414 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Oh ok. But I meant if we wanted to get close to the stage (like first 5-10 rows or so). So its basicallly just one big pit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been to the 9:30 Club before, but yes, that's the impression I'm getting... one big pit, with maybe a balcony I think someone said. I guess we really need to figure out when we're getting there -- I want to be there early, but not sure HOW early... dcdeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackViolet Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 I've never been to the 9:30 Club before, but yes, that's the impression I'mgetting... one big pit, with maybe a balcony I think someone said. Yup! I love it because even if you aren't in the front at first, you can eventually push yourself through. Anyway, yeah, at the ground floor it's just empty space with a bar towards the back, and bathrooms, so some people hang by there. Then there's a balcony that goes around the sides. It's really not a very big place. --Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
