National Harbor is a beautiful facility, brand spanking new, situated on the Maryland side of the Potomac River looking across to Alexandria, Virginia, at the foot of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge. Reagan airport in Arlington is just up the coastline from there.
The bridge links both sides of Interstate 95, and the city of Washington is due north on 295.
There are water taxis available to Alexandria, National’s Ballpark (major league baseball) and the Georgetown waterfront. Of course, all the great sights of DC’s monuments are amazing from the water (the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the Jefferson Memorial, the Kennedy Center, the Iwo Jima Memorial, the Watergate, the Pentagon, Mount Vernon, etc)
Sorry to sound like a tourist brochure, but I really enjoyed the new facility and its location, and I suspect Zeppelin fans will as well.
It also about 15 miles south on the Beltway from the old Capitol Centre site in Largo, which Zeppelin conquered for four nights over Memorial Day weekend back in 1977.
Its imposible for me to attend it, but very soon i will edit and launch a special radio program in the next couple of weeks, http://www.radiosensacion.com, 9pm, Mexico, I´ll talk about this, I am tempted to publish inedit material as Jenning farm blues and others….
Gee, I mentioned to my wife (jokingly of course) about ZepFest 2011, and I got a “I don’t care if you go” – and there was no sarcasm in her voice. So maybe I will make it.
Dave,
Count me in for this one, Please keep us posted on travel arrangements hotels etc
Looking forward to see you in DC !
Looks like this will be a fantastic event – much better that the Royal Wedding !!!!
Wow, right in my backyard! Thanks for getting involved in this, Dave.
AWESOME Dave, this is fantastic, my head is spinning, the planning starts now. Will there be a TBL gathering in the works for all of us in TBL land to meet up? It would be such an honor to actually meet you in person. Happy New Year(a bit early)!
The “Esteemed Dave Lewis”.
Wish I could be there.
Leave your response!
