Anyone interested in a Dresdenite group meeting in the DC/VA/MD area?

[Myyrdn Eopia]

It's a two/two-and-a-half hour drive for me.  And I'd be hitting the area probably around rush hour traffic, so maybe even closer to three.  Doable, yes.  Ideal... not so much.  I'll have to think on it.

We were thinking of going to the ComicCon too. Also love the ideas of mixing up other nerdy events with Dresden fans. 

Okay, just another toss out idea.  How about we try to have a standing meet-up at a central-like location -"Every other month on the 2nd Saturday night at 6pm. Meet in the bar area.  Ask the Hostess for the 'Dresden party'"

We can meet up back at Tysons.  Or we can move it around.  One time its in the city.  Next meeting is in Ballston. Then maybe Alexandria - (there is a resturant called "Rustico"  they have an UBER beer selection and yummy pizza.)

Just brain storming

@myyrdn :  Good news is Saturday traffic @ that time is not great but not nearly as bad as weekdays!  If you get hung up and need a place to crash Sat nite, I have a spare bedroom.  Note that you must NOT be allergic to Golden Retrievers, Doberman Pinschers, birds or cats, otherwise it could be fatal 

@Sihnon : I think getting together on a regular basis for beer, food and cheer would be a blast.  I'd be up for it.

Perhaps meetup.com would be a better method of organizing such a regular gathering of fans.

You can add me to the con list as a maybe. As it stands I don't work that weekend but there is alsoa  50/50 chance that my only other coworker is getting terminated so I may end up working every weekend until they find a replacement.

If you work at a cheese place maybe we can come visit.

Updated the list to the latest current standing.

So, if we want to set up a semi regular meeting, what Burger King do we want to pick? 

[habu987]

And do we have any time/restaurant/meeting place suggestions for meeting up after the Con on that Saturday?  I saw P.F. Chang's mentioned.

I'm completely open, so once we decide on a place and time, I'll set up a reservation there under "Harry Dresden."

LOL Why am I mentioned twice? Unfortunately probably won't be making it. (I Didn't know I was on the list until now). My brother is having major surgery.   I had fun meeting with everyone in the Barnes & Noble Tyson's Signing. Wish I could have gone to the after signing hangout. I have pics in the site if anyone is interested.

Too funny.   By pic 41 you begin to show the sheen on people's faces.   At least I wasn't dripping into the book as I read it.

Hi! I've mostly been in the DFRPG chat, but I'm a Baltimorean who would love to be in on some dresden-related shenanigans.

I'll not be attending the con, but anything less than an hour from Baltimore will likely work for me (though, the closer the better, my car-thing is ornery.)
