Anyone interested in a Dresdenite group meeting in the DC/VA/MD area?
habu987:
All right, here's the dealio:
We've got a reservation at Tir na Nog for 15 people at 5:00 under the name of Harry Dresden. Here's the website, if anyone is interested: http://www.tirnanogbaltimore.com/homepage.php. They've got directions and stuff about parking on there. All good information for those of us (such as myself) who are not familiar with Baltimore and will be driving in.

On a rather amusing side note, it's pretty funny to call an Irish bar and have someone with an almost incomprehensible Asian accent answer the phone. That was a fun five minutes trying to communicate the reservation details before she handed the phone off to a manager, who spoke (and understood) English just fine... ;D
Reminds me of when I went to Spain a few years back--spent a couple nights frequenting an Irish pub in Madrid that was owned and operated by a Romanian family.
Anyhoo, look forward to seeing everyone there!
(and by the way, hopefully I won't be *the* loser that shows up at 5:00 and is stuck drinking by himself for an hour before anyone else shows up... ;)

Thanks! We all feel the same...no worries...it's just our social nerdliness that makes us worry...thanks for arranging & it'll be fun! We had a good time @ the booksigning & this will be even better bc no pressure re waiting in line and getting drenched by sudden squalls! See ya there!

Hmm, is it too late to get in on this? I live in the area, and would love to meet up with all of you. *flashes the big, sad, puppy dog eyes* Please?

As you might guess, big, sad, puppy dog eyes go a long way with me, since, after all, my avatar is a golden retriever!
Habu987 is the grand master of this event, but it's an open event so am sure there is no problem joining in the fun. Welcome!

And I can never pass up on the big, sad puppy dog eyes, so you're good to go, DrkChapel! With your name on the list, that brings us up to 15 confirmed folks for this get together.
I've edited my post on the first page to get the attendance list up to date and to add in details about the meeting place/time.
