Thanks,
thrice

 

[scompton]

Count me in. I can probably make either day.

 

[vpivinylspinner]

Hey, I'll be there on either day. I have been seeing a lot of Northern Virginia people on here lately it would be great to meet a few local head-fi people.

 

[grawk]

I can try to make either at this point

 

[Hirsch]

I'm in. Right now either day is possible.

 

[slwiser]

So I am planning on coming as well. Either date can work but the 21st is best for me.

 

[Veniogenesis]

Oh boy.

I can probably come either date, but I voted for the later one.

Cheers,
Venio

[mypasswordis]

I think I can make it to either at this point, possibly prefer the 14th but won't vote in the poll just yet. Thanks a bunch for organizing this meet, thrice.

 

[HiGHFLYiN9]

My choice would be for the 14th, as Otakon is on the weekend of the 21st IIRC... and I can't miss my yearly dosage of cosplayers

Hats off to Stephen, there hasn't been a big meet in the area for a seriously long time!

Otakon is on the 21st? Oh snap, that is right. Okay, maybe 14th would be a better date for me as well.

 

[JMcMasterJ]

I can probably come either date.

 

[ricksome]

Either Day and I won't gose without my Bose

 

[n_maher]

Pick a date, I'll start planning...
