I'm up for it I think as long as I'm in the area at the time.

That's a way out from DC but hey I don't have any other recommendations.

grawk · 05-19-2008, 05:33 PM

It is, but I don't know how many of the dc area folks are actually in DC. And it's easy to get to from most of the midatlantic

grawk · 05-20-2008, 02:30 PM

I'm open to suggestions, even from new members. The last few big dc meets were in college park, which is similar in accessibility from DC, and this is a little easier to get to from points north (where I happen to be

), but I'm pretty flexible. How does the schedule sound? As time nears, we can see what is going on in the area, I like the florida tradition of having live music as part of the process.

Man I would love to make this one maybe I can couch surf at Stevieo's place?

I'll make sure you have a place to stay

cetoole · 05-21-2008, 03:40 PM

I should have no trouble making it, and that same Arundel Mills Residence Inn works great for me. Its too early for me to know what gear I will have, but I should have some fun stuff.

TheRobbStory · 05-21-2008, 04:07 PM

I'm in the city. I don't drive, so something Metro accessible works best for me.

The only gear I have with me at the moment is my Millett Max, a Mini^3 and an Alien Dac.

I should be making my permanent move to the area in late June. If that's the case, I'll bring up the rest of my DIY projects.

I've begun work on a Beta24 earlier in the week. Depending on how late this is in the summer, I may have that completed.

Does anyone have a ballpark of dates? My calendar is looking pretty empty for the weekends after July 4th.

scompton · 05-21-2008, 04:43 PM

I should be able to make it. Arundel Mills is not that much more inconvenient to me than College Park is, so that's fine with me as well. I assume the room is cheaper by going out there. I'm sure some of us can car pool.

grawk · 05-21-2008, 10:30 PM

Room's cheaper, and more importantly, it's more convenient to my house

But I'm flexible, and if it works for more people to go farther south (even virginia), I can do that.

I was thinking early august, but I'm pretty flexible about dates, too. The week of the 4th is the only known bad time for me at this point.
