Hello Rockers! Let's get together and jam out some top hits since the new millennium (since 1/1/2000) at Crescendo Studios in Falls Church, VA. This will be a new venue for our jams and will probably be more accommodating to access for many of our DC Rockers members. The studio is located near the Mosaic District in Merrifield on the eastbound side of Lee Highway (US-29). We'll be in Studio A on the first floor of the studio which is mostly-equipped with a drum kit, keyboard, sound system, amps and mics. Attendees will be expected to bring their own instruments but should not need to bring amps or speakers. Here's the setlist for the jam: \- Drive \(Incubus\) \- Faint \(Linkin Park\) \- Last Resort \(Papa Roach\) \- Mr\. Brightside \(The Killers\) \- Show Me How to Live \(Audioslave\) \- Sugar\, We're Goin' Down \(Fallout Boy\) \- Times Like These \(Foo Fighters\) \- Uprising \(Muse\) Looking forward to jamming with you!

We will hike the famous Fairfax County Cross County Trail (CCT). We’ll depart from the Lake Audubon pool area and follow the CCT trail north for three miles and back three miles for a total of 6 miles. The route features a pleasant mix of dirt, gravel, and paved surfaces, with a few gentle hills—none exceeding 200 feet. Along the way, we’ll also enjoy a one-mile stretch of the W&OD Trail. After the hike, we’ll head to Lake Anne Brew House, an award-winning spot known for its small-batch beers and beautiful views overlooking Lake Anne. Hike parking along Twin Branches and Glade Dr. A detailed map of the CCT is located here: https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/trails/trail-buddy

Hey folks! I'm trying to put on some events that are non-restaurant related. Since the weather's a bit dicey tomorrow, I'll relcoate us to the National Portrait Gallery. If our energy allows, we can grab some food in nearby Chinatown. It's right off the Gallery Place-Chinatown Metro stop on the Red, Green, and Yellow Lines. You can bring as many guests as you want provided they're also single and childfree. If you can't make it, please change your RSVP before 12 pm on that day.

Let's talk about it!
