dear my friends who are in the DC area

if I was down there somewhere in the Dec 13-18 range, would anyone have time to hang out? or is it a better idea for me to head down closer to Christmas? (I just feel like it might be a better idea to do travelling BEFORE christmas, but what do I know.)

EDIT> OMG! I totally want to go tour the Nationals Park, anyone want to come with me? It'd have to be an afternoon thing though...

The 14th I have an all-day sewing class and the 18th there's something we might or might not go to.

I don't mind finding you in DC or VA or MD, and I don't mind staying out late on weeknights. I can offer Race for the Galaxy, "dudes and slackers" (I prefer your name =)), Ricochet Robot, Domaine (which I've never played though I own it) or card games. Yeah, not a very good game collection I know. Unfortunately, my bf does not play games. I don't know who else you know in this area and if they are gaming types. I can also do dinner or tag along for touristy things, or something else.

Christmas time, my schedule is way more up in the air. I have tons of days off, but generally that means I'll find some way to go out of town for one reason or another.

Hmm. I wonder if we could convince my brother or his wife to play board games! I have done so in the past, though mostly really simple things like Carcassonne. Only thing is, since they have a month-old baby, I don't know how likely it is they'd be able to play much of anything.

I'm a really crappy tourist but to be fair I haven't actually seen very much of DC, not since high school at least, so I might be able to do stuff.

We'd love to hang out! Would you be flying in? If so via BWI or IAD? We're about 5 minutes drive from BWI ourselves and about 45minutes to an hour from DC via metro. That time period works out just fine for us too. :D

[personal profile] dr4b 2008-12-05 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
Nope, not flying... taking the train to Union Station and then the Metro to my brother's place (he lives somewhere near Wheaton on the Red Line). Where are you guys these days?

[identity profile] lurker.livejournal.com 2008-12-05 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
We're currently just outside Baltimore. But we have no problem jaunting over to a metro station and meeting you someplace. :) You can meet our daughter too! :)

I expect to be around that weekend/week. The weekend part is probably best for me, but I could also probably be convinced to do something on a weeknight, too.

[personal profile] dr4b 2008-12-05 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, I don't have an exact plan. I'd probably spend that Saturday travelling down and then be fairly open to things, though I also want to hang out with my brother while he has free time (ie, weekend). But I'm sure we can figure something out.

I won't be around there until the week after that (and then only for a few days). I've been thinking if I could swing by Philly on my way down, but I don't know if I can make it work out...

[personal profile] dr4b 2008-12-05 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm. I wonder if I could swing through Chicago on my way back across the country. Doesn't seem likely, but who knows...

[identity profile] teki.livejournal.com 2008-12-07 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I don't know about you, but it seems like each year my travel plans become that much closer to NP-complete :)

[identity profile] jd7a.livejournal.com 2008-12-05 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
We'll be around for the most part. We're out on Christmas day and that weekend, but otherwise we'll be here. If you don't have our numbers, let me know.

[personal profile] dr4b 2008-12-05 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
I have a 310 number for you and a 512 for Jason in my phone, but those might be fairly old :)

Yeah, I'm thinking of coming around a week before Christmas -- seems like it would be easier in general. Maybe. My brother lives a mile or so from a Metro stop on the Red Line (Wheaton I think) so I figured I'd just wander around the city if nothing else.

[identity profile] donutjay.livejournal.com 2008-12-05 02:42 pm (UTC)(link)
If you're in Wheaton, you'll be on our doorstep. :) Check my facebook info for our numbers.

[personal profile] dr4b 2008-12-05 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's definitely Wheaton -- I think he lives like a mile or so west of the station. That's great, I'll definitely get to come see you guys then!

[identity profile] donutjay.livejournal.com 2008-12-05 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
We're about a mile or so south, so that makes us 1.41421356... miles apart.

Cool, looking forward to it.

What're you up to this weekend? ^_^

[personal profile] dr4b 2008-12-05 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
not sure -- thinking to come out to NJ on Sunday night actually (Haddonfield) -- but nothing else set in stone at all yet, what are you guys up to?

[identity profile] mithramuse.livejournal.com 2008-12-06 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
Not a whole lot planned at the moment. I was thinking of hitting Chinatown in Philly at some point, it being one of the few places I know (having taken customers there) apart from the obvious Independence Hall etc. Plus my wife might find some things there she's missing from home. ^_^

But other than that... we should be around, I've got a few things yet to do at home etc., but getting out would be good too. I'll give you a call Saturday maybe? I don't want to call too early, though. ^_- Hope to see you!

[personal profile] dr4b 2008-12-06 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, let's try to do something this weekend then. Chinatown would be fine with me, I'm kind of wondering if I can find somewhere that has JAPANESE stuff there!
