Gauging Interest - D.C. Meet Up - September

[elrhiarhodan]

I've been chatting with fandom friends and it just so happens that one of the West Coast peeps will likely be on this side of the continent in early September, and she'd like to get together with other fangirls.

Personally, I think it's been too long between meetups.

The place we were at last November - the Marriott Residence Inn in Fairfax, VA - was lovely. The rates were very reasonable ($79 - $90 a night), the staff MORE than accommodating, there were restaurants within walking distance, and one that had no problem with separate checks for 18 people.

It would be a great place to go back to.

I don't need to spell out the virtues of fandom meetups, do I? The writing, the talking, the writing, the talking. The watching, the fangirling. Drinking and eating and hanging out and having fun.

In comments, let me know if you'd be interested in getting together in early September - probably the first weekend AFTER Labor Day. If we have enough interest, I'll talk to the hotel about a group rate.

Good. Right now, it doesn't look like Labor Day is going to work. Our West Coast friend won't be able to come until Saturday at the earliest (and she'd be seriously jetlagged and out of it).

Hee, that's cute. What would potential European visitors be? West Coasters are 3 hours behind ya, so they're still full of energy while you wanna go to sleep and maybe tired when you go and have your brekkie. ;-)

Except this west coast visitor is on the east coast because she's flying back from Europe. :-P

[sinfulslasher]

Ah, but that's not what was on the tin! I CALL FALSE ADVERTISING! *shakes fist at Elr*

Hee.

I get jet-lagged when flying from west coast to east coast. It makes no sense, but it happens! (Then again, it's probably because I always take the red-eye east...)

The red-eye is so not worth the brain/body damage. I hate losing a whole day flying east but it's the only way I can do it.

I hate losing a day too. It's less of an issue now that I live on the east coast again but when I was only coming in for a week to see my family I didn't want to lose that day.
