Washington D.C. Meetups

Pike-

do you mean the weekend of 7/18-7/20 or the following weekend of 7/25-27? I’m busy on the 26th and 27th but could make something this weekend.

Hello,

I am new to the forum, I work in DC and would be interested in a meetup in DC/Maryland or Northern VA…

I think we should do a meet-up for the first film/ep in whatever arc is next after The Matrix.

I wish I still lived in Annapolis :frowning:

The Landmark Cinema in D.C. (The E Street Cinema) will be showing the classic Ghostbusters on December 5 and 6. I propose a meet up to see it on either, or hell, BOTH nights.

Ghostbusters was the first VHS I ever purchased, it was paid for entirely in nickles and dimes, because for some reason, people won’t pay you in bills if you mow their lawn while under the age of 10.

Their website is here: http://www.landmarktheatres.com/Market/WashingtonDC/WashingtonDC_Frameset.htm

Tell me, GWCers, who is not giddy with anticipation for January 16, a mere 10 days from now? One answer would be my roommate, who has marked her calendar to make sure to be out while I have my “dork party” (said with love).

I, Starbuccaneer, will be hosting a Frak Party for the 4.5 premiere on the evening of January 16. I expect Armando will be in attendance, as will my lovely girlfriend, so you know that it will be a rollicking good time. I’ll have some snacks and enough electrical outlets that we can all jump onto the forum during/immediately following the main event. I hope that those of you in the DC area will come!

Time, Place, and Manner:
-I’m thinking 8 p.m.
-I live in NW Washington, D.C.
-PM me if you want to come and I’ll keep you informed and provide you with directions.

Relevant Details:
-My tv is not huge. I have a 27 inch non-LCD old-style, but it works and it looks pretty decent. If crystal clarity and a size greater than a yard across are important to you, you may want to find another Frak Party :frowning:
-I have a cat and a dog. I will almost certainly put them in a bedroom while people are here, but if you are violently allergic or deeply terrified, consider yourself warned.
-Also be warned, it’s the kick-off to inauguration weekend.
-Metro accessible! If you want to leave your car parked out in VA or MD, I’m about 1/4 mile from a green/yellow line stop.
-I’ll probably be wearing my Starbuck hoodie and dog tags. It’ll be too hard to resist. Other BSG outfits welcome (as long as you’re not dressing as Jake. I’m prejudiced against furries).

–KLS

Count me in! (I’ve PM’d you already. I’ll need an address at some point, but I’m on the blue line, so I will plan on taking metro in. YEAY for ease of access!) I don’t have any BSG themed outfits, though.

Here’s hoping other GWC’ers can make it. Pike? Raemani? Casilda?

Hookay then…

Well I am pretty sure I will be there (just gotta leave work early - since I will have a 2 and half hour drive min). I may also be bringing on of the other Bunnies with me, since her hubby is out of town (she is staying home with the dogs and ferret) that weekend and doesn’t want to be all alone watching BSG. And since I was going to spend the weekend with her anyway, figured another person won’t make too much of a difference) Which means we would be coming from the Severna Park area, and likely driving.

I will PM you here shortly, unless here works and you just want to PM me your address.

I need to figure out the transportation aspect… will get back to you all, but hope that it all works out :slight_smile:

The Mrs. MAY be able to come, since it’s a Friday. She longs for adult conversation (IYKWIM) and it WOULD be nice to let the grandparents watch the kids for a night while we dork out. Woot!

Awesome, It will be fun to meet everyone. Like I said I am coming one way or the other.

It is so much more fun to watch episodes with someone, which I don’t get to do often, until this half of the season because I have standing plans with a friend of mine and his nephew for the rest of the episodes (minus the finale). I got to watch the finale with them last year and it was lots of fun.

HOORAY! Pike, was that an indication that you might be in?

Wait. What are you asking me, exactly?

um, to join my girlfriend and I for a rollicking good time, of course…

Just bumping this thread. One and all, consider yourself invited as long as you can get to NW DC by this Friday evening. PM me for address, cell, and further details.

Of course, of course.

This just may possibly work, maybe.

The trick is the ride back.

(Armando has no excuse, BTW.)

Armando will be there.

Ride back to where Pike?

Cause I will be driving down, but going back to the Baltimore area after the fact.

Not sure I will be able to hang much after the show, since I will still have an hour drive home (an by home I mean to my friends house), but I plan to be there.

Huh. That could work. I’ll have to see what The GF’s schedule is…

Let me know. I mean technically I am going back to Severna Park, but any where in Baltimore (or the way to Baltimore) is not out of the question for me to drive to, and I don’t mind at all.
