6. Yeah sounds cool

I live in the northern part of the state, sounds cool. I really havent met many of the Virginians here, I know some who go to school in DC and MD but no natives really so when I hang out in DC with em, I am the only native.

41. Same here

Twelve generations.

I'd LOVE to meet up with my fellow Old Dominion DUer's. Mr. Penndems and I live in Prince William County.

Just name the time and the place, we'll be there. The only time that doesn't look good is May 28th. My husband is a Civil War historian who volunteers at Manassas Battlefield. We'll be at the Fredericksburg Battlefield on that date for the Luminaria.

29. That's probably the only place I could get to it, since I'm at VT.

I don't have a car though, so it would have to be somewhere the bus runs or close enough that I could get some kind of arrangement with the only other VT DUer I'm aware of.

33. Soutwest? I thought you meant D.C. area

Are we talkin' Wise county or Blacksburg? Blacksburg might be doable but Wise county is a little far.

23. I made it to Matcom's in Boston, and...

LynnSinn's in Philly, so there's a 50-50 chance I could get down there.

I do get down to DC on an irregular basis, so maybe I could tie it in.

36. My range is limited.

My car is a bicycle. So even places here in Northern Virginia can be a trek. Well, I knew what I was giving up when I dumped the auto - long distances and orienteering meets.

44. So how would everyone feel about Williamsburg?

It's doable for me if it's doable for everyone else. I can also get a group rate for hotel accomodations thru the hotel chain I work for anyone who needs to save a little money.

47. sounds like fun.....

always fun meeting new people. if it's on a weekday, i'd probably need a few weeks notice to get off of work, but i probably could swing a saturday without much of a problem. as long as 'ya don't mind having someone with a low post count around... :)
