Don’t worry. The meeting is at a Chevy’s, which is a restaurant where some people drink with their meals, not a heavy-drinking bar. I, for one, won’t be drinking.

Holler if I’ve overlooked you, put you in the wrong category, or whatever.

And if Bricker and his bride-to-be don’t show, I’ve a mind to ring his doorbell and run…😉

We can bring a webcam and cellular modem/laptop 😃

By then we should have our setup so that we can have free cellular internet service within the DC/Baltimore area 😃

I could come along, if nobody objects. I’m just 2 hours south of D.C.-a mere hop skip and jump. Curious to meet you dopers.

**Silo** and **Nacho4Sara** - welcome and well met! We’ll be expecting you at Chevy’s now.

**OpalCat** that would ROCK if you could get a video feed from the restaurant to our fine friends down in NC. We get that set up, would it be the first SDMB Regional Conference? Yeah Mid-Atlantic Dopers, we could be makin’ freaking **HISTORY**.

I’m planning to go. It’s on the 17th right, not the 18th. Is it 4pm or 6pm. We need more people! \<bump\>

Well, sorry for the late response, but I won’t be able to make it… I’ll be in the Dominican Republic that weekend with Enid, so a DC get-together is, alas, not going to work.

But drink a toast (for or to) me!

- Rick

Bricker won’t be there? Oh, the sorrowful songs the bards shall sing…or maybe we’ll all just have a couple of extra beers.

Sorry to hear you can’t make it, Rick, but the Dominican Republic sounds pretty darn cool, too.

How about some of our other really cool dopers…AWB, Triskadecamus (sorry if I spelled that wrong), RTFirefly, Wendell Wagner, etc., you guys still comin’?

Damn, still getting used to having someone else posting from home…that last was me, not Bluesman.

…which is precisely the plan, for a few of us!

At this point, it looks like SqrlCub, dcnewsman, and maybe weirddave are plannning to join me in my car for a quick dash down to Raleigh, NC (which is hell by definition, since it’s where Satan resides), for Satan’s Summer Shindig (midday on the 17th), then back again for the DC gathering at Chevy’s that evening.

We’re crazy, of course, but what else is new?

Um… question. Will it be a problem to bring Nicky? He’s almost 5 and generally does well in restaurants. We don’t know anyone in Virginia, so we have no one to leave him with.

Not a problem for me, Opal. And RT - are y’all going down that day, or the night before?
