Let's enjoy a 3-course meal!
This event is open to our entire group as a paid event, but it is FREE to those who signed up for the Summer Adventure - 8 Exciting Days in Alaska! trip back in August.
If you didn't join us on the trip and have ever thought about going to Alaska (I highly recommend), join us for this dinner and ask questions. We are more than happy to share our thoughts, stories, and recommendations on everything Alaska!
I've made special arrangements with the popular BlackFinn restaurant for dinner! All taxes, tips, and gratuities are included. For those that haven't been there before, BlackFinn is a classic American pub, a lively restaurant, and bar that offers craveable American food!
(Blackened Chicken Alfredo)
We will check in and get seated at the bar at 6pm. Then we will order and dine on American cuisine while talking about our most recent exciting trip and reuniting with each other, starting at 6:30pm! Our 3 course meal consists of:
Appetizer
• Caesar Salad (romaine lettuce, shaved Parmesan cheese, house-made ciabatta croutons, and Caesar dressing)
Entrée (choose one of the following)
• Pan-Roasted Chicken (two pan-roasted chicken breasts served with rice pilaf, steamed broccoli, and a side of BBQ sauce)
• Fish Tacos (two fish tacos, beer-battered or grilled, topped with cabbage, avocado crema, and cilantro)
• Blackened Chicken Alfredo (blackened chicken and penne pasta in a creamy Alfredo sauce)
• Apple Bourbon Glazed Fresh Catch (seared haddock with sweet apple bourbon glaze, served with sweet potato mash and steamed broccoli)
• Stir Fry (vegetarian, wok seared rice noodles, tossed with broccoli, snow peas, red and yellow peppers, mushrooms, carrots, and green onions)
Dessert (choose one of the following)
• Homemade Cookie Bar Bites
• Brownie Bites
(Fish Tacos)
Please note that since the Alaska trip was a joint trip with the 20s & 30s Going Out Group, 30s & 40s Going Out Group, and the Global Adventurers Traveling Group, members of those groups are also invited to this event. The average age will likely consist of those in their 30s.
We've got an early bird special for this event of $35! The first 20 paid sign-ups, or those who pay by Sun. Sept. 25th get the early bird price! After that, the ticket price will go to $40. We have a LIMITED number of spots so make sure to RSVP early AND make payment to secure your spot and get the early bird price! To make payment, please follow the steps in the "Payment" section of the event posting.
(Brownie Bites)
Also please know that your RSVP is not guaranteed unless we receive payment. When you pay, your online receipt is confirmation that we have received your payment.
Come join us as we spend a great evening having dinner with others from our Alaska trip (or anyone who wants to hear about it)!

Metro and Parking
The closest Metro is Farragut West (Orange, Blue, Silver lines) and Farragut North (Red line). I suggest Metro / cabbing / Uber'ing if you can. I also recommend using wmata.com for travel planning. Don't forget to account for Metro, traffic, and parking delays. If you are driving, you will need to find street parking or a garage. I recommend using parkopedia.com for garage parking planning.
Payment
Paypal account not required. Please follow the instructions below for making payment (if payment by smartphone doesn't work, please try your computer). Payment at the door will be permitted only should the event not sell out. A lot of our events do sell out, so we recommend you secure your spot online early. If you make payment for less than the current ticketed price displayed without prior correspondence, your RSVP will be removed.
1. Select "Yes" under "Will you attend?" (or select "Change" RSVP to add more guests if you've already purchased ticket(s))
2. Enter the number of guests coming and click "Finish RSVP"
3. Click "Pay Now" (or "Pay Online Now") at the top of the event posting near the ticket price per person
4. Verify correct dollar amount for number of people you're paying for. Modify if appropriate, click "Pay Now" or "Check Out" button
5. If you don't have a Paypal account, click "Pay with a Debit or Credit Card"
6. If you have a Paypal account, simply log in, and pay as you normally would via Paypal
Event Check-in
We will have a master list of all those that have paid. It’s not required, but I recommend printing out your payment confirmation as a backup. When you check-in, your RSVP will be listed under the name of the Paypal or credit card account used to make payment. Typically, this is your LEGAL name as shown on your driver's license. Sometimes, it may be under a company name if you set up your Paypal or credit card account that way. If you are not sure what it is, please take a moment to log into your Paypal account (it will say "Welcome, [your account name>" at the top) or your credit card account to find out. If you are RSVP'd under someone else's payment, please use that name for check-in.
Refund Policy
Since we pay in advance for this event, all sales are final unless the event is canceled or rescheduled. If the event is canceled or rescheduled, an UPDATE will be posted at the top of the event posting, and the UPDATE will also be sent as an email to the yes RSVPs. A full refund will be submitted no later than Wednesday of the following week. For rescheduled events, you must let us know within 3 calendar days of the UPDATE email if you are unable to make the new date... no refunds will be given after that time. Thanks for understanding. =)
Ticket Resell
Similar to a concert ticket or a football game ticket, you are free to sell your ticket to someone else if you are unable to attend. I suggest posting in the comment box for the event, that you have a ticket for sale. Work out payment between yourselves, and have the seller only send the organizer a "message" through their Meetup profile (do not comment in the comment box of the event posting) letting me know the first AND last name, and Meetup profile URL (if a member) of the person taking your spot (please also copy them on the message). I host a lot of events and groups, so please let me know the event name and group name the ticket transfer is for. You must let me know by the RSVP close time of 3pm on the day of the event.
Weather
Should inclement weather (e.g. snow storm, hurricane, etc.) affect our event, we'll need to reschedule or cancel. If any one of the following is not available for service due to inclement weather, we'll need to do so: Metrorail is not running to all stops; Uber (X, SUV, etc.) is not running or available at no more than 2x standard rates; venue(s) are not open. I'll post an UPDATE to the top of the event posting by 3:30pm on the day of our event with the details.
Special Needs
If you have any special needs (e.g. wheelchair, dietary for events with food included, etc.), let us know in advance (a week or more before the event) and we will do our best to accommodate (message me through my Meetup profile). If you let us know the day of the event, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to help. Thank you for understanding and we appreciate the courtesy of a heads up!
