There was a pretty good turnout of forumites at the signing in the DC area last night, but many of us didn't get to socialize too much beforehand or afterwards (due to driving home, work, what have you). I've seen a few folks mention that they'd be interested in meeting with other Dresdenites in the DC/VA/MD area (Sihnon and SkinsFanVJ, and a couple others, I think).
So, anyone else interested in meeting together every now and then? If there is enough interest, we could possibly meet somewhere where we could quaff beverages of an adult nature and chow down on dead meat (or dead plants, if that's your thing), and all have a good time convincing each other that our crazy Dresden Files conspiracy theories are the best ones.
EDIT: List of folks interested in meeting up over the weekend of the Baltimore Comic Con (August 20-21)
-Habu (myself)
-Tiracakes?
-doink67
-Toe-mass
-(FM)
-Myyrdn (if we can guilt trip him ;D)
-Coffeeworm +1
-Revan
-The Doctor (possibly) (By the way, just so we're clear, I'm the real Doctor, as evidenced by my avatar self photo. This guy is just someone who has my name... ;D)
-Heartsonycgr and +1 (Bob the Blackberry)
-Sihnon (+1)
-Cheesepusher (possibly)
-cyanosaurus
-Axis37
-DrkChapel
Let me know if I missed anyone, or if you'd like to be added/removed.
EDIT - MEETING DETAILS:
-We've got a reservation under the name of Harry Dresden at 5:00 on Saturday (8/20) at Tir na Nog for 15 people. Here's the website, with directions, parking, etc. http://www.tirnanogbaltimore.com/homepage.php (http://www.tirnanogbaltimore.com/homepage.php)
I'll be there at 5:00 (unless I get lost, or the TARDIS breaks down, or I get sucked into a quantum singularity and get transported to an alternate universe... :D), so I look forward to meeting y'all!
-
I'm totally down! 8)
-
All depends on the when and where, for me. But I'll definitely do my best to show up!
-
HELL YES:)
I LOVED MEETING YOU ALL @ THE SIGNING!
-
Well, I know my driving radius for a day trip goes most of the way down to Richmond (I'm in Alexandria, VA) and up to the Baltimore area. I'm totally A-OK to meet with fellow Dresden tin-foil-hat-wearers anywhere within that swathe of land!
-
For the record, I'm in Winchester, VA.
-
I'd do it, but my range stops somewhere above Richmond. Baltimore is fine for me, though. I too, am in Alexandria.
-
FYI. I'm in Yorktown, Virginia. Looks like Alexandria would be the best place.
-
So, how about a get together in the NOVA area in late August or sometime in September? Just throwing out arbitrary dates, but I'd be happy to make a reservation somewhere... :)
-
Anyone but us have geek-crossover tendencies? We'll be at the Maryland Renaissance Festival the third week of September and the third weekend in October we'll be doing the Zombie Run in Baltimore...

Can I make a nomination for the first one?
How about AFTER Baltimore ComicCon? If you can go to BCC, Great! If not, who says we can't meet up at, say, PFChang's at 6pm?
Just throwing it out there...

Interesting
I was going to be in Ashland that weekend but I can totally drive up for a post-con partay.

I know a lot of people can't do the Cons but BCC is one of the cheaper ones, its $30 for a 2 day ticket or just $20 for Saturday. But who says we can't use that as an anchor to get people together. Kind of like Tailgating without going to the game. (See, I can throw a sports reference in there...)
-
It's not so much the price of the con ticket for me as it is transportation and lodging.
-

My wife is planning a trip or three to the Ren Fair this year. Possibly in the 3rd week of sept as well but it all really depends on work.
-
I just registered here after lurking for a while.
My daughter and I enjoyed meeting many of you at the Tyson Corners signing.
I'm sure if you have a "meeting of the minds" in Baltimore we would love to join you.
-

Yep.
-
Meeting up around Baltimore Comicon would be great. Saturday or Sunday?

Maybe. Life will be hectic for me for the next month or two because I will be moving (still within the DC area, but a move is a move) but I would like to meet other users of the forums some time.
-

One is rarely a geek of just one thing...
Chances are, I will not be attending the renfaire this year (October is shaping up to be a mad scramble), but... does anyone else here happen to hang out at HacDC (http://hacdc.org/)? After the book signing in NOVA last week, I feel like I may have run into some of you.
-
So, seems to be a general consensus for meeting after the Baltimore ComiCon on that Saturday?
Not sure if I can do the Con itself, but I can surely meet afterwards. If there are no objections/suggestions to this date, chime in and I'll edit my post on the first page to include a list of folks who want to join in.
-
Definitely up for get together of Dresdenverse fans. I run from PA line to Richmond no problem, Baltimore no problem for me, either. DO the MD Ren Fest, not sure about Balto Comic Con (would LOVE to do it, but may have conflicts). Also do Celtic Festivals/Highland Games and lots of stuff, so pick a date and I'll cross my dewclaws that I can make it. Count me IN!! (I was such a nerd at the book signing I jumped in line and didn't get to hang with a lot of new local folks--Serak, Myyrdn & Electric Butters, buddies from Mars Con mostly--but would love to meet more Dresden geeks since I work/live in the greater DC Metro area.
-

Checked the old Blackberry (geek here!) and can do Sat after Comic Con in Baltimore..count me IN!! :o
-
I won't be there. :( I have another year of college to prep for, and I'm saving my money up for NYCC.
-
Have one in WI and I'd come!
-
For those such as Myyrdn (and myself, for that matter), who will not be attending the Comic Con, is there interest in meeting in that general area?
I figure it's not all THAT long of a drive from the DC area to Baltimore, so, as I'm not going to the Comic Con, it should be a relatively short and inexpensive trip to meet up with the folks who ARE going to the Con, and anyone else who wants to meet up there, as well.
-
Am likely not going to BCC but it's only a one hour drive from my house, so happy to meet up for dinner in Baltimore or the surrounds...or even in VA if that will enable some like Myyrdn to attend!
-
All right, I'm going to start a list in my first post on this thread of people who are interested, or who could conceivably be guilt tripped (*cough, cough, Myrrdn, cough, cough*) into meeting up in the general NOVA/DC/Maryland area on the weekend of the Baltimore Con.
-
It's a two/two-and-a-half hour drive for me. And I'd be hitting the area probably around rush hour traffic, so maybe even closer to three. Doable, yes. Ideal... not so much. I'll have to think on it.
-
We were thinking of going to the ComicCon too. Also love the ideas of mixing up other nerdy events with Dresden fans.
Okay, just another toss out idea. How about we try to have a standing meet-up at a central-like location -"Every other month on the 2nd Saturday night at 6pm. Meet in the bar area. Ask the Hostess for the 'Dresden party'"
We can meet up back at Tysons. Or we can move it around. One time its in the city. Next meeting is in Ballston. Then maybe Alexandria - (there is a resturant called "Rustico" they have an UBER beer selection and yummy pizza.)
Just brain storming :)
-
@myyrdn : Good news is Saturday traffic @ that time is not great but not nearly as bad as weekdays! If you get hung up and need a place to crash Sat nite, I have a spare bedroom. Note that you must NOT be allergic to Golden Retrievers, Doberman Pinschers, birds or cats, otherwise it could be fatal :o
@Sihnon : I think getting together on a regular basis for beer, food and cheer would be a blast. I'd be up for it.

Perhaps meetup.com would be a better method of organizing such a regular gathering of fans.
-
You can add me to the con list as a maybe. As it stands I don't work that weekend but there is alsoa 50/50 chance that my only other coworker is getting terminated so I may end up working every weekend until they find a replacement.

If you work at a cheese place maybe we can come visit.

Updated the list to the latest current standing.
So, if we want to set up a semi regular meeting, what Burger King do we want to pick? ;D
-
And do we have any time/restaurant/meeting place suggestions for meeting up after the Con on that Saturday? I saw P.F. Chang's mentioned.
I'm completely open, so once we decide on a place and time, I'll set up a reservation there under "Harry Dresden."

LOL Why am I mentioned twice? Unfortunately probably won't be making it. (I Didn't know I was on the list until now). My brother is having major surgery. I had fun meeting with everyone in the Barnes & Noble Tyson's Signing. Wish I could have gone to the after signing hangout. I have pics in the site if anyone is interested.

Too funny. By pic 41 you begin to show the sheen on people's faces. At least I wasn't dripping into the book as I read it.
-
Hi! I've mostly been in the DFRPG chat, but I'm a Baltimorean who would love to be in on some dresden-related shenanigans. :D
I'll not be attending the con, but anything less than an hour from Baltimore will likely work for me (though, the closer the better, my car-thing is ornery.)

Bah! I'd love to go to this, but alas it's too far to drive for a whim. :'( However, If Jim comes back for a signing next year we will so be there. It was so much fun hanging out durring the signing.
-
Just bought my Baltimore CC tickets...where are we all meeting!? Sounds like a blast! 8)

I threw out a suggestion above for Pratt Street Alehouse; have yet to hear any countersuggestions.

One of the nice things that might work out of these meetups is a relatively ready ride pool.
-
Been a long time since I lived in Balto. Just tell me where and when & i'll be there. K
-

Yeah, I'm okay with that. I don't know Baltimore very well (I live by Tyson's Corner) but does anyone else have thoughts?
Habu987 - You can add me +1 :)
-
Hmmm....Other people in Baltimore dig Dresden...I wish I had known this sooner. Sign me up. As far as places...Fell's Point is a blast with lots of food and booze and most likely won't be affected by the Con too terribly much. I'll probably get a room there, it's only about a 5 minute drive from the Con to the Point.
Also, I'm always up for meeting with other Dresden types for mastication and boozification. I live about 30 minutes from Baltimore.
-
All right, sorry it's taken me so long to get back in on this (the last five days have been extremely hectic workwise)!
I've updated the attendance list.
Looks like we've got two foodalcoholization venues proposed:
-Pratt Street Alehouse (downside is that it's close to the Con and might be packed)
-Some place in Fell's Point (downside is that we don't have a specific place picked out)
If we can get a place chosen today, I'll call and try to make a reservation tonight.
Which place do y'all want to eat and drink ourselves into a stupor at? And what time should I make the reservation for?
-
Here's a list of Fells Point Restaurants from Urbanspoon. Looks like there's something for everyone!
1.Blue Moon Café
2.Salt Tavern
3.Obrycki's Crab House
4.Kali's Mezze
5.Red Star Bar and Grill
6.Ale Mary's
7.Ding How
8.Jimmy's
9.Peter's Inn
10.Pitango Gelato

As someone who lives just north of Baltimore...
Don't count out the Inner Harbor. For those attending the con, there is a skywalk that leads directly from the convention center right to Harborplace. (No playing Frogger with traffic while trying to walk there!) There are a couple places there, too. M&S Grill, Cheesecake Factory, Tir Na Nog (Irish Pub)... http://www.harborplace.com/dining-entertainment
Plus, it's the same side of the street at the convention center, and a lot easier to find parking than Fells Point.
-
The best parking in Fell's is the garage on Caroline and Thames; But I agree, there is frogger involved...or at the very least taxi cab...minus Travis Bickle.
I can certainly get behind the Inner Harbor, and then if anyone wants to explore the city later that's cool. I don't really know the harbor very well since I usually hang out in Fell's Point/Canton; but I am cool with whatever the choice is.
-
Guys, I really do think I'm going to have to bail. I need to conserve my money and all that jazz. And all I know about Baltimore is B&N, Hard Rock Cafe, and the Aquarium.I got no clue where I'm going, and I don't navigate and drive well at the same time in unfamiliar territory. It's just a personal comfort thing, since I don't think there is anyone who would come with me. Also of import is the fact my mother has a stress fracture in her right foot, so no driving anywhere for her. I get to be chauffeur for the next 3-6 weeks.
-
And all I know about Baltimore is B&N, Hard Rock Cafe, and the Aquarium.I got no clue where I'm going, and I don't navigate and drive well at the same time in unfamiliar territory.
FWIW, the inner harbor locales are spitting distance from the Aquarium.
-
Again, all i know is the Aquarium. I don't know /where/ it is in the city, nor how to get there, not off the top of my head.
-

The Aquarium is in the Inner Harbor. If you're taking I-95 North, you want to get off at the I-395/ML King Blvd exit. Keep left and the exit turns into Howard Street. (Do not take MLK.) Follow it down two blocks and turn right onto Pratt Street; the convention center will be on your right. The Inner Harbor is two cities blocks down Pratt. There's two big shopping center/touristy things called Harborplace. All the restaurants are inside of that--except for Hard Rock Cafe which is across from the Aquarium.
I'm only suggesting the Inner Harbor because it's super close to the convention center, same side of the street, and the easiest place to get to. Plus comicon goers wouldn't have to move their cars. But I'm the newbie, so...
If you are going to the con, the best place to park is the Days Inn parking garage. It's right across the street from the convention center and usually has the best rates in the area: http://www.daysinn.com/DaysInn/control/Booking/property_info?propertyId=08218
-
I love lurking - but the indecision is driving me crazy. LOL
My husband and I will be at Tir Na Nog (Irish Pub) at HarborPlace at 6PM on Saturday and we would LOVE to have everyone join us there. There is plenty of parking nearby and it's a wonderful place to walk by the water afterwards. For those going to ComicCon, you can take the skywalks and not play frogger with the traffic. For those just coming to drink, there are several parking ramp nearby. If anyone needs directions, let me know and I'll send you a link to Mapquest.
If someone would like to make reservations for everyone, that would be even better.
-

You beat me to it. I was just signing in to suggest the same thing. I second the choice and agree that the combo of parking ease and that ComicCon goers won't have to move cars makes this an ideal choice. View is great. What you say our great leader makes a reservation for us under name "Harry Dresden"? ::) ;D
-
All right, looks like Tir Na Nog it is!
I'll call and make a reservation for 15 people at 5:00.
Stay tuned to find out the riveting results of one man's journey into the wild that is making a group reservation in Baltimore...
-
Excellent! Sounds goods! Count us in, we will see you all there! ;D

It's one thing knowing where it is and how to get there, it's another to have someone in the car screaming "THIS IS THE EXIT! NO, NOT THAT ONE, THIS ONE!" I feel more comfortable not driving alone. Also, easier to stay awake on the drive home after.
-
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 (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.
-
Thank you, great leader, for organizing this...it will be fun...
The Blackberry invite was so kind of you, and very funny b/c I am going to start calling my Blackberry "Bob"; however, poor Bob, like his namesake, has no arms to lift beers, no mouth to consume them and no bottom that needs a chair to sit in, so he doesn't need a reservation ;) In fact, don't tell Bob, but right now am trying to decide whether to turn him in for an Android vs. iPhone in February when my 2 year contract is up... :o
See y'all there!
-
In fact, don't tell Bob, but right now am trying to decide whether to turn him in for an Android vs. iPhone in February when my 2 year contract is up... :o
Going off topic, I made the Blackberry-Android switch in March after having a Blackberry for three years. Absolutely LOVE my Android phone!

Okay, Cardnail and I are both strong "Maybe's..." The spouses decided to they were going to Baltimore with us, even though they weren't going to BCC, and family first.
If I'm "released" early I'll be over. Cardnail and his wife show up, they're both Dresdenphiles
-

Nah, they have Loose Cannon on tap. So half an hour at most.

Con attendees may want to know about the route of the 9/11 ride: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/dr-gridlock/post/sept-11-memorial-motorcycle-ride-to-impact-traffic-on-friday/2011/08/17/gIQA3xl8KJ_blog.html
Dinner-only attendees should miss all of that.
-
It was great to meet everyone this evening! It was a lot of fun talking Dresden theories, gaming, sci-fi/fantasy books, "True Blood," making fun of that other "vampire" book series ;) , and sharing a meal with other Dresdenites!
I hope to meet up with you all again! ;D
-
It was great meeting everyone who showed up tonight! For those of you who didn't show up, but said you would, tsk, tsk, tsk. (http://www.eggxpert.com/emoticons/emotion-40.gif)
Bah, real life has no business intruding on your plans! ;D
If anyone in the general NOVA/DC/Maryland area has facebook and is interested in meeting up as a group fairly regularly (every couple months or so), shoot me a PM and I'll try to coordinate more meetings.
-
Was a very fun time at the old Irish Bar tonite in Baltimore...fun meeting everyone and fun talking Dresdenophilia!! Up for another meetup in future-- :)
-
Good Morning! We agree with the others. It was a fun night! We definitely need another get together. Arundel Mills Mall, Tyson Corners, Orlando Florida. Any of those places would be great.
BTW - Don't anyone tell DrkChapel that Molly shot Harry. I would hate to spoil the ending for him.
-
I am sorry I missed it. Some thing came up, I was bummed out, I wanted to find that group of people that was at the book signing dinner that was doing a roound of DFRPG
-

Bwa!

We were talking about coordinating meetings every other month or so, coordinating book release parties, coordinating meet-ups at book signings, so to make that a bit easier, I created a group on Facebook called "Mid Atlantic Harry Dresden Fans". For now it's a "closed" group b/c it's specifically aimed at JB Forum members in the Mid Atlantic to use to coordinate and communicate about local fan-dom activities! If you want to join the group, go to the page and click on the "join" or whatever the button is called and I'll get a request and approve you! It's not to substitute for the forum, but a quick way to communicate to a targeted geographic demographic of Harry fans! ;D

I'll start calling Burger Kings in the general DC vicinity in late September/early October to inquire about reserving half the restaurant for our next bimonthly Dresdenites R Us meeting... ;D

<sniff> but it's so much FUN watching his brain take a swim in the deductions pool.

Yeah! I think the FB group will be a good place to let each other know about fun Cons in the area...like Star Trek etc esp those that JB is attending!
-
I'll start calling Burger Kings in the general DC vicinity in late September/early October to inquire about reserving half the restaurant for our next bimonthly Dresdenites R Us meeting... ;D
Yeah!!

Sounds groovy! I'll make sure to submit my request once I get home tonight.

Oh wow there's no way I'd rather spend Harry Dresden's Birthday than with some fellow fans. Been looking for another meet up since the signing in august. Had to make a facebook just for the event but hopefully I can still join up since it's so close. Can't wait!
-
Looking forward to it as well!!
-
I certainly hope it's not too late to RSVP. It would be awesome to hang out with other Dresden fans.
-
No problemo. Go to FB Mid Atlantic Harry Dresden Fans & RSVP on today's post.

Reminder all Harry Dresden Fans in the MD/VA/DC area!
The Happy Birthday Brunch for Harry Dresden is ON!
11:30am @ Ireland's Four Provinces in Falls Church VA (http://www.4psva.com/)
I will be making reservations on Monday, so please RSVP to me on our FB site (Mid Atlantic Harry Dresden Fans--you have to join first) and I'll count you in.
