It is the Ootback in the Waterside in downtown Norfolk at 333 Waterside Drive in the Waterside Marketplace across from the Waterside Marriott and the Waterside Marina – kind of a waterside festival area beside the water.
If you get lost just ask for directions to the Waterside.
Oh… it’s right beside the water, too!
All right. I, too, am at the Marriott.

Beer–
Off the Marriott lobby. Stormies Sports Bar (believe it or not, not too rowdy and not too loud). Eight beers on tap. Shitloads bottled.
Plan?
I’m there Chief. I have a bit of a drive up from Atlanta on Saturday, prolly 'bout 9 hours, but if I leave at 6 or 7am I can be in the bar by about 4pm. I’m gonna e-mail you with my cell number. We can co-ordinate on the fly, if need be.
Screw your number!
I want Falcon’s room key!
blushes bright red
Hell Chief - just share the room. 
And my reservations are made too, btw.
Chief, you really don’t need to worry about Falcon’s room key. From what I’ve seen at previous doper meeting’s there’s usually a line outside her door. Most of the guys, as they leave, will hold it open for the next. Or she just orders a door-stopper from maintenance and keeps that baby propped open.
OH GOD!!! ROFLMAOPMP and all that stuff . . . Oh My . . . you do realize, of course, UncleBeer, that Falcon is going to castrate you at the Norfolk gathering?
Good Lord, that was the funniest thing I’ve seen all day!!!

Nuttin’ like livin’ on the edge, eh?
reads thread
stares in shock at UncleBeer
Unc…fisrt off, I’m not sure how you could know that, since you were busy entertaining redheads all night. And besides, don’t you remember? We used the BIBLE as a doorstop!
Okay, I’m going to try and make it. It looks like I might have someone to stay with my three young ones, and as long as that doesn’t fall through, then I’ll be there.
Are we going to meet at the Ootback at 6?
Am I invited? I live in Chesapeake (right next to Norfolk.)
My only thing is finding a babysitter, but that shouldn’t a problem. I could even help with logistics & driving if need be.
lunasea -
Everyone is welcome. So come along!
And yes Tark, we’re meeting at the Ootback at 6.
Just walk into the light…
… Aghhhhh, my eyes! It burns, it burns!
Unc, I warned you about archiving that heatherlee home page…
Okay, I’m now officially confused.
I’m glad the authorities finally made that official, Falc. They must have finally read the evaluation they asked me for. I knew it was only a matter of time.
UncBeer hon?
Bite me. 
That smiley’s gonna cost ya.
Officially confused?
Falcon?
A tad addled definitely, but I believe she’s jumped the gun on “officially confused.” The jury’s still out.
Falc, hon?
It’s a “guy” thing.
