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

[habu987]

There was a pretty good turnout of forumites at the signing in the DC area last night, but many of us didn't get to socialize too much beforehand or afterwards (due to driving home, work, what have you).  I've seen a few folks mention that they'd be interested in meeting with other Dresdenites in the DC/VA/MD area (Sihnon and SkinsFanVJ, and a couple others, I think).

So, anyone else interested in meeting together every now and then?  If there is enough interest, we could possibly meet somewhere where we could quaff beverages of an adult nature and chow down on dead meat (or dead plants, if that's your thing), and all have a good time convincing each other that our crazy Dresden Files conspiracy theories are the best ones.

EDIT - MEETING DETAILS:

-We've got a reservation under the name of Harry Dresden at 5:00 on Saturday (8/20) at Tir na Nog for 15 people.  Here's the website, with directions, parking, etc. http://www.tirnanogbaltimore.com/homepage.php

I'll be there at 5:00 (unless I get lost, or the TARDIS breaks down, or I get sucked into a quantum singularity and get transported to an alternate universe...  ), so I look forward to meeting y'all!

[Sihnon]

I'm totally down! 

[Myyrdn Eopia]

All depends on the when and where, for me.  But I'll definitely do my best to show up!

[Tiracakes]

HELL YES:)
I LOVED MEETING YOU ALL @ THE SIGNING!

[habu987]

Well, I know my driving radius for a day trip goes most of the way down to Richmond (I'm in Alexandria, VA) and up to the Baltimore area.  I'm totally A-OK to meet with fellow Dresden tin-foil-hat-wearers anywhere within that swathe of land!

[Myyrdn Eopia]

For the record, I'm in Winchester, VA.

[doink67]

I'd do it, but my range stops somewhere above Richmond. Baltimore is fine for me, though. I too, am in Alexandria.

[Tiracakes]

FYI. I'm in Yorktown, Virginia. Looks like Alexandria would be the best place.

[habu987]

So, how about a get together in the NOVA area in late August or sometime in September?  Just throwing out arbitrary dates, but I'd be happy to make a reservation somewhere... 

[Aine]

Anyone but us have geek-crossover tendencies? We'll be at the Maryland Renaissance Festival the third week of September and the third weekend in October we'll be doing the Zombie Run in Baltimore...

Can I make a nomination for the first one?

How about AFTER Baltimore ComicCon?  If you can go to BCC, Great!  If not, who says we can't meet up at, say, PFChang's at 6pm?

Just throwing it out there...

Interesting

I was going to be in Ashland that weekend but I can totally drive up for a post-con partay.

I know a lot of people can't do the Cons but BCC is one of the cheaper ones, its $30 for a 2 day ticket or just $20 for Saturday.  But who says we can't use that as an anchor to get people together.  Kind of like Tailgating without going to the game.  (See, I can throw a sports reference in there...)

[Myyrdn Eopia]

It's not so much the price of the con ticket for me as it is transportation and lodging.

My wife is planning a trip or three to the Ren Fair this year. Possibly in the 3rd week of sept as well but it all really depends on work.
