I was thinking that we could gather, gather all of our badges, and then all go out to eat. Though that's just a thought. I'll go along with whatever other people decide on.
Have fun then. I won't be there though. I'll actually be in the BCC from 7-10 that night (not at registration pickup either).

Not to be an asshole.....infact you know what, I am trying to be an asshole because it's more fun then being nice., Screw this PC shit.

I'll be there at 5pm, if no one shows up oh well, that's when I'm eating.

Infact, let's do something Friday night ALSO! I'll need to eat something by then anyway. Someone else plan friday though. Obviously I can't handle the preasure.

I'm with Bogo. An after-pick-up meeting might be better for me because I'll be leaving at 1:00 with hopes of getting to MD by 4:00, and that usually does happen, but I have to check-in and wait for the rest of the caravan to arrive before I can run off and stuff my face. Plus, if we're meeting outside the con center, we're already there!

And that restaurant I was talking about is Uncle Lee's. It's across the street from the Renaissance and IIRC, I spent $8 and couldn't for the life of me finish it all, and I CAN EAT! ;)

Hmmm....

If that place is open late enough, sounds good to me (there IS something veg there, right?) I plan on taking MARC up from Greenbelt (unless someone has a car and can drive two people with a LOT of stuff up), and the trains go on hiatus for most of the day. I then have to walk up to the Tremont, dump my stuff, and get back down.

And Friday Night is a really shite time, as doors usually open for MAT3K by 7 and the first AMV contest screening is right afterwards (and usually ends around 2AM). It would really be nice to have the schedule handy, but it won't be for another week or so.

My flight does not get in until 4:37 pm so 5:00 pm for me is WAY to early.. But if that's what the group wants, hey got right ahead...

Thursday night, post-badge-pick-up sounds like a pretty effective way for people to get together. By that point, the vast majority of people will be in the city, and in the general area of the BCC, which is a convenient enough place to meet.

From the sounds of it, Friday night's gonna be MAT3K / AMV contest showing until early morning, but I'm sure SOMETHING will come after the contest showing.

Thursday after pick-up does seem to be the most logical decision for something organized, though.

Well I'm sorry I won't get to see anyone then. I am busy between 7 and 10, so maybe I'll run into someone durring the con or something. I'll try making the AMV pannel maybe.

God I hate you guys.

Oh yeah, and so you guys know why I'm being such an asshole. I had a tooth pulled today, and my house was sold, so I need to move after Otakon (my room looks like lains.......towards the middle of the series), so you computer guys can understand where I'm comming from.

Maybe in a few days I'll be happy again.

But on a more relavent note. I really want to meet up with you guys. But since no one wants to meet at 5 because some people won't be there, then it would have to be at 10 or later or I can't come.

Oh screw it, why do I even try.

I really wish I wasn't a minor going with my friend's parents on Friday morning.

Yup, really.

Could be worse. You could be going with your OWN parents ^.~
