Harmony Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I'm a solid maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalcyonSpirit Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I'm a possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizyr Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Ok, besides myself, Jenner is also down for "who's coming". So the previous thread got deleted? Dangit. Anyway, we could re-start the discussion on stuff to bring / do while there. Foodstuffs - we could have a few people bring picnic-suitable food, to mitigate the possibility we might not have a grill. (Even if we do have a grill, it's nice to have more than just meat and veggie burgers. ...oh, yeah, roasted corn too.) Anythingfuntodo - I'm still up for bringing by a cricket bat or two and some tennis balls (real cricket balls need the right surface to play on, so tennis balls + electrical tape would suffice). Come on, anyone else up for street cricket? KF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoffrey Taucer Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 If anybody can give me a ride home to Raleigh afterwards, I'm in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I'd be there, but I'd need ride both ways... yeah yeah I know why don't I have a car already shut up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrumUltimA Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I am totally a maybe! I'll need a ride from baltimore folk though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumUltimA Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 actually, I am totally a definite ONLY if I can get a ride with a baltimorian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalcyonSpirit Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Hm... I'll have to make sure I'm going first, but I may be able to help you with that. See, a relative lives in Baltimore, and since the drive from where I live to the meetup is quite long anyway, I might go visit her the day before and then drive to the meetup from there. Depends on when things are supposed to start, though. If I do end up doing that, I may be able to drive you there and back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palpable Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 The bad news: Burke Lake Park is all booked on grills on July 4th. The good news: djpretzel has offered his place for us to barbeque at, and chill that evening. That actually makes the whole food issue a lot easier anyway, we don't have to drag it to the park. I'll be buying food and drinks (burgers, dogs, Coke, some side stuff) based on the number of people that are coming, but feel free to bring other food or drinks. Dave also wanted me to mention that he has a lot of Jack Daniels leftover from his wedding, so there's that too. We'll still meet at the park in the afternoon (figured 2:00 PM is good), but transition at some point to djp's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Figures Dave would have Jack Daniels at his wedding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Taucer Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Since I can't find a ride back, I'm gonna have to miss this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 I don't mind giving someone a ride from Baltimore if needed Yeah, that would help a lot. If anyone needs me to bring anything (potato salad, extra drinks/plates/cups/etc.) I can swing by the grocery store and pick some up the day before...

Level 99 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I'm going to end up going to ScrewAttack, so unfortunately I can not be in two places at once (not even if I try to run really really fast in a circle). Sorry, I gotta say I won't be able to attend this. Eat meat (or imitation meat) and drink beer (or soda), and be merry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Um, unless someone has a good location for viewing the fireworks, but most of my friends have moved further from the city so I'm out of luck there.) I'll bring some cricket gear. Any food/drinks we should pick up while we're at it? If we're gonna roast some corn (which is delicious if you haven't done that before, and a good alternative to meat) then I could bring that with me. Not sure how it'd fare in the trunk of my car if it's hot that day, though. KF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, mention in the thread what you're bringing if you're bringing something so that I know what I don't need to buy. BTW, it costs $8 a car to get into the park unless you're a Fairfax County resident. So obv carpool if you can, or if you're coming to the area by yourself, Amy and I can take a few people to the park if you can meet us at our place ahead of time.

Not sure how it'd fare in the trunk of my car if it's hot that day, though. KF If you're concerned about keeping things cold, then Vinnie and I could bring corn and other perishables because we can just leave it in our fridge and pick it up on the way to djp's which is like 5 minutes from us. We would probably plan on bringing veggie burgers too. So if you'd prefer, you could bring non-perishable stuff, like I don't know, plates, napkins, utensils, soda, etc. BTW great idea about bringing the corn. I love grilled corn!!
