Xarfest DC, Nov. 2008

Post by aliantha »

I guess I'm elected to get this party together. :biggrin:
In GenDisc awhile ago, Xar wrote:Allright, hotels are booked now... I'll be in Washington DC from Nov 13 to Nov 20 (though most of the time I'll be busy with the conference), then I'll be in New York from Nov 20 to Nov 24, and then I'll be back in Washington DC from Nov 24 to Nov 28, after which I'll come back to Germany. Hope I can get to meet most of you from both towns.
He then posted further that the 24th-28th may be better for a DC get-together.

Okay, so, the 24th-28th is Mon-Fri of Thanksgiving week. Which of us in the greater DC area would be around and interested in a get-together? I gather that he's staying downtown, so maybe meeting for dinner/drinks one night early in the week would be best. If not downtown, then somewhere Metro accessible would be the second choice.

I know that MagickMaker, Batty, Shana Lunison and I will be available any of those days.

Feel free to post here or PM me with your plans. Thank yew.

I had nothing to post as I am unable to go.

Oh fine. :P ;)

We'll be meeting somewhere in downtown DC for dinner on Wednesday, Nov. 26. That's as specific as I can get right now. (Looks like I'm gonna have to wade into the WoW forum and drag a few people out....)

I would consider coming, but I'll be leaving DC that Wed for over a week.

Doc Holliday: Because Wyatt Earp is my friend.
Cowboy: Friend? Hell, I got lots of friends.

Gah. What if we did it the night before? Tuesday night might actually work better for me, as it looks like I'll be out of town for Turkey Day now, too.

Someone posted pics in the album.

Gee, Menolly, have you been to every 'Fest in the Western Hemisphere, or what? :)

Who put pictures up in the album???

Nope.
I missed Seafest, San Francisco and Xarfest, DC, plus probably others I am forgetting...

Oh, like the first actual Elohimfest in Albuquerque...
(but I wasn't a Watcher when that one happened)

...I knew I should have thought twice before sending the ones I was sent on to Fist...

F&F posted pics in the Album Fests folder.

I assumed it was Xarfest, since Xar was in the pics (?)

Edit: oh, wait, it's NYC Fest. Don't mind me ...

Yeah...hence my telling myself off that I shouldn't have sent those pictures on to F&F once I had received them... ;)
