Okay, It’s two weeks away, but I’ll start the thread anyway. Once again, the TV gods have combined to let me watch the Baltimore game at 1 and the Redskins game at 4 on December 10th. (Two weeks from today.) PLUS, I wanna show off my new apartment. And the new kitty. So. Dopefest at my place in Columbia on the 10th. Rumor also has it that some non-fans will show with a cribbage board for some other entertainment. (looks at Olentzero…) So…who’s in? Anyone? Please? ---

OOHH, OOHH! Me! Me! ME! Can’t pass up a chance to watch one of the 2 best AFC teams in action! ---

I _might_ be able to come!! yay!! Next Monday I am taking my driving test, so hopefully I will be a liscenced driver when the get-together rolls around. I am sooooo looking forward to meeting all of you, although I am not a huge football fan. In fact, to be honest, some of you are going to have to explain it to me. ☹ But I hope to make it! I’ll keep you updated about whether or not I can come! (I’m crossing my fingers here.) I can’t play cribbage either, so who’s up for poker? ---

I’d love to get together, but watching football is only slightly better than being held to a red-hot metal plate with iron-tight c-clamps while being forcfed dingo feces. ---

I’m new here (SDMB-ville, that is) but in the area. May I stop by? ---

If I can find a ride I’m there. Maybe even with disk. Go skins! And Army! ---

Paddy - I’m hoping either Phil and/or Olentzero are gonna show…maybe one of them could give you a ride? (Please guys?) And hijack…sure! Come on out! 🙂 ---

I wish I could make it Falc, but the next 4 days following the 10th I have exams. ☹ But hey, the weekend after that is the Richmond fest, hope to see you there! 🙂 ---

How far is Columbia from Alexandria? I have my office party the night before, but think it would be fun to drive up there for a while. What is this about a Richmond dopefest??? I hate changing schedules and training… it takes away my time from the boards. ☹ ---

I’m still in trouble for staying out way past my curfew at **RTF** ’s place but since this one is on a Sunday afternoon I might be able to stick around for the Balto game. Got my cribbage board at the ready for anyone else who plays. **Opal** , if you hate football so much come up anyway and we’ll teach you cribbage instead. So **Falc** , you gonna email us directions? ---

I plan to come by, Falcon. And I’ll bring my Sweden pictures, too. 🙂 (I wish I could bring **Anniz** as well, but that’s for my Dopefest in January…) ---

Ah good. A timeline of sorts to brush up on my Swedish, my folk tunes, and my Bellman. Many thanks, **Montfort**! _evil laugh_ ---

Bluemonchichi - Alexandria is about…an hour south of Columbia. I think. Maybe. 🙂 Olent - Balto game is 1-4…hope you can make it for that. I was planning on emailing directions tonight or tomorrow. It’s easy enough to get to my place, IMO. Montfort - You’d BETTER bring those pictures! 😃 And Phil is probably coming too, according to him in chat last night. And maybe Leigh-Anne, who was apparently running around asking her cats to get younger after seeing a picture of Alex the WonderKitten. 😃 ---

Wow Falcon! I didn’t know you lived in Columbia. I just moved there myself. Right at the corner of Oakland Mills and Snowden River Parkway. Whereabouts do you live? ---

I live off of Little Patuxent Parkway, about 2 miles west of the mall. And you live close to where I work! I work where Broken Land and Snowden River meet. Damn…now there’s three Columbia dopers. Who knew??? 🙂 ---

Chalk me up as a maybe. It’s awful close to when I’m getting home for the term, so mom and dad might want me homebound. ---

iampunha - **IF** I get my liscence (I’ve been dreaming about parallel parking for the past three nights) I would be glad to pick you up. My Oldsmobile Grande Royale comfortably seats 7, so we should be ok. 🙂 You’re in DC, right? No problem. I’m there if I get my liscnce and if you can give me good directions. I am so excited! I’m smiling like a fool right now! Yay! BTW, I promise I’m a good driver. I’ve driven to and from DC several times, and I speed a little but am not reckless at all, so you’re safe with me. ---

Oh yeah - can someone link me to info about the Richmond Dopefest? I might be able to make that too (I have the next few weekends, for once.)🙂 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/its-dc-baltimore-dopefest-time-again/42781.md?page=2)
