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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

the closer it is to points north, the more likely that i might make it, and mebbe i can drag some of the ny gang along too.
