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. 

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.

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.

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

Thanks for setting it up! I submitted a request, too!

I'm late to the party, but I wanted to say that it was great to see everyone last Saturday. We need to do this again!

And DrkChapel claims he's read more of Ghost Story since Saturday...

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!  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!
