Calendar Event Discussion / Re: Anyone interested in a Dresdenite group meeting in the DC/VA/MD area?
« on: August 14, 2011, 06:28:18 PM »
Bah! I'd love to go to this, but alas it's too far to drive for a whim. 
However, If Jim comes back for a signing next year we will so be there. It was so much fun hanging out durring the signing.

Hey guys we had a great time, it was totally worth the drive up there. Doink67, your mom was awesome and you totally have to bring her to future events. And for everyone that went to Gordon B's before and after, thanks for a great time. For those of you who missed it, the Q&A session Myyrdn recorded is definitely worth the listen even if the video isn't up to snuff.

« on: July 29, 2011, 05:19:46 PM »Hey! Glad to know I'm not the only one who's been 'lurking' (I've never belonged to a community before--needed to see how this is done)! This is my first signing.The information about roads, approaches, construction and BN policy has been most helpful, thanks to all! My husband & I plan to be there early, coming from out of state, buying books for friends so we can both get into the signing & the Q&A (glad to know this was NOT necessary---for future reference). Looking forward to being there, have loved all things Dresden for years.
Hi everyone! First time posting, but been lurking here for several weeks. Me, my hubby, and our friend who introduced us to Dresden Files are going to be at this signing, EARLY! I wanted to thank everyone who's called the store and asked questions, this thread has been a big help!
I just called the store myself and asked about me and my husband buying one book and both getting in to the Q&A and signing, and the guy on the phone double-checked and then told me it would be fine so long as we have the receipt.
Also, would love to hang out with some other fans before hand and schmooze! I'm going to be easy to spot- I'll be the tall woman with the Harry Dresden My Little Pony (complete with Bob the Skull!).
No, I'm not joking about that.
We will be meeting up at the Gordon B's across the way from B&N at four (like you haven't read the previous posts). There should be more than enough room at our table for you to join us before hand. Just let the hostess know that you are part of the Dresden party.
Looking forward to seeing everyone there. Time is just dragging away now and Monday just seems forever away.

« on: July 27, 2011, 09:26:34 PM »That's the plan! Well. What is the plan? I am assuming we will be hanging out in the store after we pick up wristbands? So, has the 5pm wristband time changed anything about the time to meet up at the restaurant?
The reservations are for 4pm so I figure after that we can mosey across the way for wrist bands and stake out a place at B&N. If dinner runs over it's not like some of us can't wait at the table for a bit while one group goes over to get wrist bands and then the second group can go when the first returns.
Also, considering the amount of posts for this event vs. the amount of posts for the other ones I would be willing to predict that this will be one of the larger signings. However, it will be on a Monday night and not convenient for all, so it will most likely be a we shall see type thing.

I told them we would need seating for about 18-20 at 4:00pm and the reservation is under the name "Dresden". Wahoo!

Tomorrow I will be calling Gordon B's to make reservations for 4:00pm August 1st. I figure since there are about 10 of us listed, that aiming for a seating of 15 would be best in case others show up. Unless they catch on and don't let me, I will make them under the name "Harry Dresden". Please reply in this topic if you think I should increase or decrease the amount of people for the reservation. Thanks.

« on: June 25, 2011, 12:20:00 AM »If they don't initially, I'm sure someone will eventually considering there will proally be some kind of sign proclaiming the #1 best selling Author of the Dresden Files will be visiting straight across from them.
I'm not too worried about it. Once it's written down in the book or entered in the computer I doubt they'll think twice about it. At least until you show up dressed as Harry, that may warrant a few raised eyebrows, but considering it's DC, I doubt you will be the strangest thing they've ever seen. If they do push the issue I will just tell them we are having a Wake to honor the memory of our dear departed friend Harry.

Thanks guys
Awesome! I will call to see if they will let us make reservations a week or two ahead of time when we get a final head count. Also, if they don't catch on I will make the reservations under the name Harry Dresden.

« on: June 21, 2011, 12:59:53 AM »wow, thanks hearts. make me look like the jerk out.if i go i'll be there as soon as i can, but it really depends on work/and a few other things. it really has nothing to do with whether or not i WANT to be there early to meet people.
Don't worry, KB, we'll save you a seat! Hopefully things will work out for you but if not, maybe you will atleast make it to the signing.
Oh, and I had to decide between the Altanta signing or waiting a couple of days for DC and I already think I made the right choice.
This group just seems great.

« on: June 21, 2011, 12:32:31 AM »And, hey, Electric Butters, I'll bring your bottle. The oatmeal stout was amazing! Best beer I ever had! Thanks to Zheryl for messaging me about the meet up! See you all!
Yeah, you can't beat a good breakfast beer. And no problem, I'm thinking the meet up before the signing is going to be a "the more the merrier" scenario, so hopefully we'll get a good sized group. I don't know many local Dresden addicts and am hoping for a nice turnout. Right now I'm pushing for Gordon B's due to the lovely selection of beer and noms. They offer a sampler of all their beers, I'm going to be in heaven....

Yeah, I just checked out the menu. I was expecting pub food, but, holy cow man, I'm going to have a hard time making up my mind! Yum is right!
