Peter is on his way here for several days. Anyone want to stop by that weekend?

Sure!  As long as you don't mind if I foist some beer on you.

No, not hoist, foist -- as in give you beer that I can't drink.

More wishful thinking here. Have fun

if you were ever able to come, i'll post something well in advance. just a last minute thing now if there's interest

We are at the lake house this weekend. I don't think with the racing last week and the audio fest next week I should abandon Meaghan 3 weeks in a row. Therefore I probably won't be able to make it.

Don't think I can make it unfortunately.

I think I can make it out there this weekend

ok, so maybe Dusty and Ben. jeff? let's try to plan on a day/time - i assume saturday and/or sunday. i do have room if someone wanted to stay overnight.

I am a maybe at this point.  Depends on what else I need to fit into the weekend.

Are there any official plans for either day?  I should be able to make it for a bit.

not yet. looking for a final count

damn wish I could but I am a weak ass maybe at this point 

 

also it looks like saturday would be the better day

Okay, I should be in.  What kind of time frame are we talking?

I'm probably not going to make it, but I'll try.  Go ahead and make plans, and I'll let you know Saturday.

(I slept past noon today, and if that's the way things go the rest of the week, then it's probably a bad idea to only come down for half a day.)

I am told by the UVA people here at the office that this weekend will be move in weekend for the University and could be a bit of a mess.

Sounds like Justin and I are up for coming to DC tomorrow, Jeff. Any thoughts on what to do? Dusty, would you be up for it?

Depends on whether you want touristy, beer-centric, event-driven. Let me look around, there is usually something worthwhile. 

Beer centric works for me! Justin is up for whatever

Funnily enough, the best beer thing this weekend is down there at Devil's Backbone the craft beer festival.  http://vacraftbrewersfest.com/about/

There is always Churchkey and all the locals around here Mad Fox, Lost Rhino, Port City, but they are also all down there for the event.

Okay, I bought my ticket to the beer fest.  Not sure if Dusty, Ben or JP or anyone else will be coming but I will head down that way tomorrow.  Are we meeting at Headamp HQ for VIP tours?

Oooh.  I hope somebody does one of those long, sycophantic, Head-Fi fanboy style reviews of the tour and "interview" with founder Justin Wilson.  That would be awesome.  Don't forget the loving gear-in-production photographs and awkwardly posed portraits!

Sounds like Justin and I are up for coming to DC tomorrow, Jeff. Any thoughts on what to do? Dusty, would you be up for it?

Yeah, if you come up this way (DC/NoVA), I could probably meet you guys for lunch or dinner or something.  

If you all want to come up tonight, my friend Dave is playing at Paradiso in Alexandria from 8-midnight.  It's kind of new country/throwback to Sun Studio era music, a mix of covers and originals, with two guitarists and a pedal steel guy.  (Justin, you know Dave.)
