If I could persuade you all to visit Washington, DC, we do have a  
movie theatre which is very special, called the Uptown.  It is the 
only remaining Cinerama theatre in the U.S.  (A huge, curved screen 
-- 2001 A Space Odyssey had its big opening there, many years ago.)  
Even the most mediocre of movies is exciting on a Cinerama screen.  I 
saw all the rereleased Star Wars movies there and it was incredible.  
(Even Phantom Menace was pretty good there.) The HP movie will 
probably open there -- anyone want to make a pilgrimage?

Cafe Reggio, on MacDougall Street.  I forget the exact cross streets, 
but it is south of West Fourth St., north of Bleeker.  I have also 
forgotten the name of the Italian restaurant, but it was on 
MacDougall, a little north of Bleeker St.

There is a Green Fields in DC, also, as well as a zillion other great 
restaurants, if anyone does decide to visit.
