The GL DC convention (Now has pics)

[Antrax]

I think we're going to have two meetings, and Memorial day weekend is fine with me, if everybody else go with it.

[VinnyQ]

Vinny - Go.

[Lilifreid]

I'm a go for Memorial Day

[Huey]

Count me in.

[Agamemnon]

Who's Huey?

[Buzzsaw]

I think it's one of pikachamp's friends.

[Huey]

Buzz's ex-lover, dated him in Nam. =p

[Lilifreid]

So, thus far, it's me, Antrax, Vinny and Huey? Should I be worried?

Looks around nervously

[SK]

me!

[VinnyQ]

... that depends, Lili ... on whether you really have super power or not o_O

[HyToFry]

I'm out for mem day. (And I'm taking TC with me... muahahha)

[One Skunk Todd]

/in for MD. I can have people over to my place to hang out along with whatever else we decide to do.

[Agamemnon]

If we're off to Skunks house, count me in! (In mind, not in body)

[VinnyQ]

tic toc

[VinnyQ]

How about May 23rd (that's the Friday before Memorial Day weekend), gathering around noon'ish? D.C. or whereerver?

It might even be fitting to meet at the War Memorial Wall, if you guys are interested. Then we can head over to the Air & Space and maybe watch the Matrix Reloaded on the IMAX.

[Lilifreid]

Ok, I may need directions as to how to get there from a major train station

[VinnyQ]

hmmm ... it's not listed yet ...

From which station, lili?

[Lilifreid]

er... I don't know?

[Neo]

If anybody in the area is interested in meeting me, SK and I are gonna try to meet on June 13th...I'll be in DC for like a week though.

[VinnyQ]

Heck yeah, I am fer that too, wootie!

[SaberKitty]

vinny, is the 23rd definate? becaise i'm in school. would sat be at all possible?

[VinnyQ]

SaberKitty, 23rd is not definite. Forgot you still have school. Bah!

Ok, you guys should make it a meet on Saturday the 24th of Mayb (I might not make it but Huey will). Late morning or noon'ish.

[casinopete]

None of you were expecting me, so it won't come as a disappointment that I'm not coming, but the topic gave me the impulse to check airline prices for if I had wanted to come.

Much to my surprise, round trip from DSM to DCA would cost less than $200. And on/around a holiday weekend, too (granted, it's not Thanksgiving or anything, but still). I find this mighty cool, and if there's a gathering later on in the summer, I might just attend.

[VinnyQ]

and by mid summer, me & huey would have a place of our own to take it guests, as long as you promise to be good.

[HyToFry]

Oh, I promise.

[Antrax]

This just in: I can't get Memorial Day weekend off (work). Can you people meet on a weekday? (namely: Thursday).

[Lilifreid]

I am in when the heck ever. Just let me know. I may well have the BF in tow...

[VinnyQ]

I can, if you let me know ahead of time.

[Antrax]

I have Thursdays off work, and I only start working on 4 on Fridays. That's why I can easily wake up early on Thursday (or even cut from work early on Wed. and get to DC), spend the entire day with you guys, and either go back and sleep late or sleep over and go back by train in the morning. Who else is in? Which week is convenient?

[VinnyQ]

Still trying to get the house, Antrax, but you can always crash at my parents' house.

Does it defn have to be this month?

[Antrax]

No, we can do it in June as well.

[One Skunk Todd]

Sorry, Thursday's are not good for me. Have a good time without me.

[VinnyQ]

Let's pick a weekend in June then, Antrax. Your employers will let you have the weekend off if you give them a few weeks notice in advance, right?

[Antrax]

No. But if you wait until after I quit my job, we can arrange something

[Huey]

is there a chance you can quit your job, waste a weekend getting piss-faced, then go ask for job back?

[VinnyQ]

ok, let's redo.

How about June 6, 7, or 8? That's Fri, Sat, and Sun.

Antrax? Lili? SK? OST? Critics? Others?

[Antrax]

~reads over the thread~
~yep, I specifically said I can't do weekends~
~sips gin, falls off chair~
Can't we do it on a Thursday? Please?

[VinnyQ]

About the IMAX Matrix thing, The weekend of June 6 was for Lili's sake. Something about a boy that won't be there after June 10th. Let's see what she has to say about that. I am fine with seeing it a week later.

Antrax, about the Thursday thing, I was just hoping that you would be fired by then =P

Thursday is fine with me cuz I am very L33T at my company and have a very flexible schedule, but I am not sure how it goes with SK, OST, and Lili. They have school and stuff.

[Antrax]

OST has school?
Anyhow, surely they could come if we go to the movie on the afternoon?

[Lilifreid]

A week later is fine with me. The BF will come with if he's still in town, but just said he'll be fine if we go after he leaves. My schedule is extrememly flexible for the next month.
