Looking for a Ghost Story Release Party between Baltimore & Virginia Beach?

[Toe-mas]

I live between Richmond, VA and Washinton, DC and I want to try to find a good release party.  I know there's a few Dresdenphiles down toward Virginia Beach and Williamsburg and I keep hearing rumors of a few up near Baltimore.  I guess it boils down to "Who's going to have the best Ghost Story release party in the Mid-Atlantic Region?"

Feel free to discuss below:

I made my vote, but a second would be Richmond, VA for me.  There and VaBeach are about all we'd be able to do this go round due to the expense of traveling anywhere that would require more than a day trip.  VaBeach is a pretty awesome place in summer though.  You know, beach and all.  LOL

Yeah, I always stay at this little place on 24th Street.  They're great people there.

With Toe being a very good friends of mine imma go wherever he is for the release my vote is fredricksburg cuz its a good midway between the national capital region and the VA beach area. i know that am i jacked for the release so where ever the party is im down

I'd say DC.  We /might/ be able to get iago in on it if we can figure out a spot!  Also, it's up in the air whether or not I'll be able to be there.  I may or may not have a show that day/night, I don't have the summer schedule yet.

VA Beach is a bit far for me and Richmond is just... traffic issues.  My second would be Fredericksburg.  (Winchester, VA here)

Another thought.  If we get a good number of people there, and if anyone's interested, I would be willing to try to run a one-shot DFRPG game.  Only if we have a good chunk of hours together, though.

Also, keep in mind that release day is a Tuesday, for those who have work and such.

I'm not to far from Fredericksburg but I put in all the locations from Baltimore to VAB because they are within two hours for me.  (I have an hour long commute, one way, on a good day... Anywhere I can get to in under two hours isn't really worth mentioning.)

I threw Philly in at the last minute because I thought we might get Priscellie to come down that far.  I didn't think we could get her the whole was down to DC or Fredericksburg.

I would LOVE to do something like this.  Especially if we can get iago, though that might be too much like work for him...

I've already told them I'll be out the 26th.  They asked me what game was coming out...  I told them it was the next Dresden Files book... They looked at me like I was crazy.

i could do DC or baltimore. if i'm picking up garrett it'd be dc only and even then it is 8 hours of driving for me. also, it being a tuesday makes my probability nil, as right now i'm the only person at work who can do my job.

Okay, update from Fred (iago):  He definitely won't be doing any sort of anything with this, as EvieBrother will most likely have recently joined the mortal plane by that date. 

However, I have been in touch with a couple other folks in the DC area.  We've got time to see how it all pans out.

[Wizwad]

I notice none of those locations are set in Europe at all!  :p 

[Myyrdn Eopia]

Well, I'd say let's have the party in Winchester, but it won't be the one you're thinking of, Wiz.

I'm not to far from Fredericksburg but I put in all the locations from Baltimore to VAB because they are within two hours for me.  (I have an hour long commute, one way, on a good day... Anywhere I can get to in under two hours isn't really worth mentioning.)

I threw Philly in at the last minute because I thought we might get Priscellie to come down that far.  I didn't think we could get her the whole was down to DC or Fredericksburg.

Heh, yeah, I have to work the next day!  I suppose I'd entertain the possibility of going to Philly, but... it'll be release night.  You won't have read the book yet!  I won't be able to squee and flail with you!  Seems more sensible to have a party the Friday or Saturday after the book's release, so our heads will all be at equal states of explosion.  

I'd come down to D.C./Baltimore for a Saturday party, largely because I might get to meet the new Hicks Jr.

THE HICKSLING.

I sescond Priscellie's motion that the party be either a Friday or Saturday.  I can justify it to myself more easily if I don't have to go in to work the next day.

Also, I would love to do a one-shot of the RPG.

[Myyrdn Eopia]

Friday or Saturday is trickier for me, if I'm remembering last year's schedule right.  Though I may be able to get someone to cover for me—more info on that later.

I still say DC.  I know heartsonycgr volunteered her house on twitter, I'll see if she's serious.
