JC, just to make sure, that Virginia address is the one I’m aiming for, right?
I have a phobia about not knowing where I’m driving. I worship at the explicit directions of Mapquest alter.
Yes, it’s the VA address.
Was there some other on the site? I must speak with Lady Chance about this.
It’s pretty straightforward to get here. If mapquest says anything other than (presuming you’re coming from VA) go up Route 7 from Leesburg and head north on Route 9 then you should turn your back on them.
Sara - once you open up the ‘Where?’ tab on JC’s link:
The Purcellville, VA address is the one you’re aiming for.
Trust his ‘directions from Baltimore’. They work.
I’ll add one note, though: the part that says “After the bridge turn left”? That’s immediately after the bridge. Don’t blink. 
True enough. But the valley isn’t really wide enough at Loudoun Heights to wait very long after the bridge.
Hey, at least there’s a gas station. What more could anyone ask?
I’ve just emailed to invitation to all who expressed interest in this thread and in the old Spring party thread. 41 email addresses in all.
Here’s hoping!
Wooo!!! I have received my official invite!
I can say with absolute certainty that the odds of my attending Dope-A-Ween have just gone to 100% I went to Hobby yesterday and bought my plane ticket, and my boss approved a half-day off so I don’t have to land at midnight.
I am so excited about seeing y’all again, and meeting the people I haven’t. And y’all have my solemn vow… no turkey sandwiches!

Yaaaaaayyyyyyy! Hey, my offer still stands. Lemme know if you need a pickup at BWI and/or you still want some Pennsylvania snacky stuff. My email addy’s on my profile.
Can’t wait to meet you! Uh. . .and the rest of yizz too.

Page 6?!?!?!??!?!?!?
I think not.
Need to finish writing projects…need to prepare for GRE…need to save money…need to outlaw fun…
Free me from temptation!!!
Regretfully, it appears too many little things are against my (and by extension, TP’s) attending (schedules, etc). I really hope to make it next year. Have one for me.
Alright, seeing as I probobly won’t be able to get a ride, I’ll shell out the bus fare. I’ll check prices and hopefully it won’t be too pricy from Albany.
Now I gotta think of a costume…
Shoot, I forgot to ask, will it be best to get a bus to DC, or Baltimore? And since I don’t want to spend a weekend at the bus-station, is there any way of convincing a doper to pick me up there? I would be eternally grateful.
Yeah, the poor boy (bouv) just asked if he could stay with me and if anyone could pick him up at the bus station.
Who’s willing to volunteer? We need a hand here.
If I can get any volunteers I’ll let that person choose a specific candy for me to get.
How 'bout it?
And Maeglin?
As you know full well…the only way to be free from temptation is to give into it.
And we’ll have mead from Linganore Winery…
Well, I won’t be able to make it either, unless someone else from NY is driving down
Y’all have fun, you hear?
Giving this a bump so we can find a DC/Baltimore Doper who can give poor bouv a hand.
C’mon. He’s a college student. You know how hard those guys work. They never get a chance to party!
Assuming I have an functioning car by then, I can give rides from NoVa. bouv, if you can get yourself onto the Metro, I can pick ya up at one of the stations, Vienna being the closest to where I live.
Thanks for the offer Geobabe, but I won’t need it. I just purchased a ticket to Leesburg, VA, and have a ride from the station. It will be a long bus ride, with a couple of transfers, but I’ll make do.
Before I forget, I need info on hotels in the area.
Robin
Hotel info, eh?
Try these:
Days Inn Leesburg 703-777-6622 (About 15 miles from the house)
Catoctin House B&B 800-851-3305 (About 2 miles from the house)
Catoctin House is set right in the tiny lovely town of Hillsboro. And that’s heaven.
That should get you there.
Thanks, JC. The B&B sounds very nice.
