I'd be hosting this. There any interest in this? We have three of us in Fairfax County (Myself, Shale, and Ciddy). I can put up guests/have a pretty spacious townhouse. Could do it in December or January, depending on when people are available.

Local:

1. Super (Duh)
2. Shale
3. Ciddy (HAD BEST SHOW UP)
4. Meeple
5. Snowfire
6. Miki

Maybe/no word:

Pyro
OK

I might come, depends how easy it is for me to get there.

NotMiki · « **Reply #2 on:** November 13, 2016, 05:40:47 PM »

January is generally better than December for me - family stuff, and in my line of work, the end of the calendar year is an important deadline.

I'll be down for it - though depends on the date I guess.

superaielman · « **Reply #4 on:** November 13, 2016, 07:25:44 PM »

I prefer January too.

superaielman · « **Reply #5 on:** November 14, 2016, 10:13:14 PM »

I'm about 30 minutes (without traffic) from Dulles or Reagan airport. Dulles is preferred as Fuck Arlington Traffic Forever but it's not too bad.

If this falls when I am in DC on a work trip, I would love to at least drop by! Fingers crossed art and minimeet coincide.

Shale · « **Reply #7 on:** November 17, 2016, 01:47:53 PM »

I am of course in, and can give rides to/from Dulles. Reagan too, but only if people are getting in on a day when I'm working (I live around the corner from Dulles, and work up the road from Reagan).

superaielman · « **Reply #8 on:** November 19, 2016, 01:05:07 AM »

Date I'm looking at: Jan 13th-15th as it's a long holiday weekend for me and it's well after the holidays. Thoughts?

DUnie: If you're ever in DC, let me know and we can meet up.

If I can make it, those dates work well for me. Up in the air, but hopeful.

Meeplelard · « **Reply #10 on:** November 22, 2016, 09:48:55 PM »

The one thing about those dates is that it's my Birthday on the 14th.

I don't mind TOO much doing it there, and hey, I would like to spend my birthday with friends for once, but just something to keep in mind.

superaielman · « **Reply #11 on:** November 28, 2016, 01:20:43 AM »

Tenative date set for Jan 13th-15th. People can easily crash at my place, there is plenty of room. I live right in the middle of fairfax city, so there are plenty of places to eat/etc within easy walking distance.

SnowFire · « **Reply #12 on:** November 28, 2016, 10:32:03 PM »

I might be up for this. I have a relative in the area I can maybe crash with so it's possible I wouldn't even be a burden on sleeping quarters space, although it might necessitate asking for rides instead.

Meeplelard · « **Reply #13 on:** November 28, 2016, 11:42:04 PM »

So if I am taking a bus down (Greyhound likely), what stop should I go to? Not getting the ticket quite yet, but I like to plan ahead.

OblivionKnight · « **Reply #14 on:** November 29, 2016, 01:48:34 AM »

Mmmm...well, let me run it by my boss, but that should be feasible. Do you need another driver in the area? I may just bus in if I can make it.

whatever is easiest for you. We should have more than enough drivers but yeah, feel free to drive in.

I edited in my address for anyone that needs it.

For those bussing in: I am extremely close to the Vienna Metro station (10~ minutes). If you want to get in and out of DC, that is the best way by far as I would prefer to not drive into the city. There's plenty of parking in my complex as well for anyone driving.

OblivionKnight · « **Reply #17 on:** December 09, 2016, 05:57:38 PM »

Well, barring something ridiculous, I'll be there. Not sure if I'm bussing or not - anyone else bussing in? So we can coordinate pick-ups a little bit.

Meeplelard · « **Reply #18 on:** December 15, 2016, 07:13:33 PM »

Ok, something I should note:

There's a chance I might not be able to make it, and I will not know one way or another until within a week of the event.

The reason? My sister is pregnant, and she's due sometime next month. If child is born on January 5th through 7th or so, I won't be able to come, since that will be when the child's bris is (assuming it's make. If female...I have no idea when Baby Namings happen), and well, priorities and such. It's a small window, but a very plausible one where it can happen, and something I have absolutely no control over.

Naturally, rescheduling the event won't change a thing, for the most part, because this is an unknown variable and just as likely for it to happen at the rescheduling. As it stands, I'm still in, but haven't gotten my tickets yet because as I said, I can't be 100% confirmed until about a week before the event.

Meeplelard · « **Reply #19 on:** December 27, 2016, 03:28:15 AM »

And...I can now say that won't be an issue! I should be able to come now barring unforseen circumstance but not 100% confirmed because haven't gotten ticket yet, etc. WIll get details when I know them, but the unexpected factor has passed.

dunie · « **Reply #20 on:** December 29, 2016, 03:04:57 PM »

I'll be in NY instead of DC. Unplanned, but now I most certainly have little wiggle space. Enjoy the snow! Winter is coming.

superaielman · « **Reply #21 on:** January 01, 2017, 10:13:51 PM »

Note: I don't own a TV/game consoles so if you want to play something, feel free to bring it. I'll work something out and nab a TV so don't sweat that part.

NotMiki · « **Reply #22 on:** January 04, 2017, 06:12:45 PM »

Jetblue's having a sale, so if you're flying in, now's the time. What times make the most sense for travel? Do you guys envision doing stuff Friday during the day, or would Friday night make the most sense?

superaielman · « **Reply #23 on:** January 04, 2017, 09:58:19 PM »

I'm off friday, so feel free to fly in then.

SnowFire · « **Reply #24 on:** January 07, 2017, 11:48:09 PM »

Confirming that I'm in. I arrive in DC 2:20 PM assuming I don't miss the bus or something, so that should be at the Vienna metro stop by 3:20 PM or so. Also confirming that I'm staying with a relative in the area; I might request rides over to be dropped off, but it should be a short trip, she's also NVa. (Note that this PROBABLY means I won't be staying up super-late and keeping to a more "normal" schedule, as well. I'll probably be spending some time seeing what's up with them as well.)

Also, I have a friend in the area who might be up for games and the like as well. He's more of a role-playing game type person - in the sense of tabletop - but if any others are up for something like that, I'm sure he'd love to be in. It's a bit of a trip from Maryland though, note huge but not trivial, so we might want to schedule it in advance. Anyone else up for a Cthulhu or Shadowrun one-shot or the like? Shale? NotMiki?
