May 28, 200818 yr Author comment_125188 Colin also suggested the library at UMBC is available for a really good cost ($0) Report
May 28, 200818 yr comment_125197 Count me in as long as its not in the last week of july or first week in august. Report
May 28, 200818 yr comment_125198 UMBC library? Which section? I can't imagine that being optimal for a meet at all, to be honest. Unless its the special collections section, which would be very, very awesome. Report
May 28, 200818 yr comment_125200 I didnt realize they let outside groups use those for free. Not bad, I guess. I've been in a few on the second floor. A little cramped if theres more than a few people, but they may have bigger rooms. Report
May 28, 200818 yr comment_125202 Colin also suggested the library at UMBC is available for a really good cost ($0) Oh snap, does "colin" have/had orange hair and dreadlocks? I used to know a Colin that went to UMBC and my same high school. Report
May 28, 200818 yr comment_125218 I'm in...for whenever, don't have any particular plans this far in advance, but "the weekend" would, of course, be preferable. Arundel Mills is fine -- some good shopping within walking distance. PS What "big minimeet"? The one in Leesburg that failed? I'm not sure I trust him (SK138) to run a meet. "Oops, I accidentally went to Manila..." (without telling anyone). EDIT: this one? Report
May 28, 200818 yr Author comment_125221 Yah, that's why I was just going ahead, but august works better for me than june or july anyway Report
May 28, 200818 yr comment_125226 I've no idea if I can go or not. Probably won't know until July at the earliest. Consider me unreliable. Report
May 30, 200818 yr Author comment_125617 So, I'm setting the date at August 2. Now to pick a location. BWI/Arundel Mills Residence Inn, a party room in Rockville, somewhere else? How many people are coming? How many would want a hotel room? Report
May 30, 200818 yr comment_125619 Wish I could make it. I didn't really get a chance to get to know anybody at the last one I went to. Have fun guys! Report
June 16, 200818 yr Author comment_130410 I'm putting together a roll call on the other site. If you talk to people who don't check in either place and might attend, let me know. Trying to decide if we're going to do this at Stevieo's house, a party room in rockville, or arundel mills. grawk - coming - balanced m3, modded dvd-2900, mac mini rig w/ duet, balanced hd580, balanced woodied hf1, maybe balanced hd650 stevieo tyrion jp#s cetoole thrice - maybe boomana - maybe tkam - Stax Omega II MKII, Headamp KGSS, APL Philips SACD1000, Northstar M192 MKII dreadhead scompton daveDerek 04BluMach zachary80 - maybe sschell - maybe Dusty Chalk aardvark sandwich - maybe Report
June 16, 200818 yr comment_130445 I think Reks should come. I recall him saying something about it sometime ago, something about maybe.... Report
June 16, 200818 yr comment_130457 I vote for StevieO's house -- that way those of you who are staying there won't have to drink and drive. Report
June 16, 200818 yr Author comment_130463 this meet will be about the gear The afterparty (and preparty) will be about the party Report
June 16, 200818 yr comment_130481 It would also be amusing if StevieO's place was voted as the location without his necessarily approval. That said, I can be DD during the parties. Report
June 16, 200818 yr comment_130500 It would have been amusing... Well, in my head, it was funny. Report
June 16, 200818 yr comment_130553 I'm on vacation that week in Montana and Wyoming so I don't have any chance at all to make the meet. Sorry to miss out. :'( Report
June 17, 200818 yr comment_130663 You don't get excused that easily. I'm still interested in that other idea you had at CJ08. Report
