Unfortunately the 29th is my darling girlfriend's holiday party, which for some reason she seems to feel like I have to come to. Chicks!
Why a Friday anyway? Perhaps I am the only one but making it into the city and/or Silver Spring by 7pm on a workday taxes my working-for-the-man schedule even when I don't have to placate my sole source for teh boobiez.

Well, I ain't married to the 29th. The 30th didn't work for some people either, but they're not speaking up in this thread. Pretty much any day that week (between 25th and 31st) works for me.

ahfu, me neither. Three people (I think) - said 'cant do it' in the original, while twelve others signaled they were in for that day, so I'm just going with the wishes of those who responded the first time.
phearlez, so sorry i didn't consider your schedule. You must have been too busy to see the original post or too tired to constructively suggest something better this time. Real shame we might miss out.

That said, whatever date, time or place that brings more people is fine by me. My schedule is open, and for the benefit of all of you, the more people who show up besides me, the better. Really.

I should be able to make it, but probably not until about 8:00. You guys are going to be rocking it late anyway, right?

I sure hope so. Maybe I book a shetland pony and a clown, maybe get the numbers up that way? I know I could afford a hobo who looks like quonsar.

I'd love to come. I'm leaving town on the 30th, so the 19th would work great.

Nailing down a date has been a bit frustrating. I don't think nj_ meant to be as hostile as it might have sounded.
armage, any chance you typed a 1 when you meant a 2?

Sorry phearlez. Excuse: I am sick from an Amtrak sandwich AFAICT, this and perhaps the mogabog pigpile have had bad effect.
Oh yeah, and no SO, and I've been listening to too much Lewis Black.
It's just roses over here.

29th, 30th, either's good with me. I'll check in as the dates(s) approach and see where the wheel has stopped.

The sandwich lady seemed so nice, like she made them in her kitchen. I could've eaten the ass-end of a warthog at the time, which...but I digress.

Can't make it that far out that soon on a weekday, I'd be coming from Reston, in rush hour the whole way. I'd rather go to the dentist.

My commute is Herndon to Rockville. Daily root canal.
So 8ish on Friday the 29th, or 7ish on Saturday the 30th? In this thread, 30th seems more popular.

I'm up for pretty much anything between the 25th and the 6th, prefferably someplace a 20-year-old can get into with minimal tomfoolery…
