I don't post here as much as some of you, but I would want to go to a meetup!

What about IHOP? There's a big one on Route 50 in Falls Church.

(Yeah, I'm fancy like that.)

I can make it from exit 71 to exit 79 in six parsecs.

On the contrary, those who drive threads beyond three pages are especially welcome .

It sounds like a good idea to meet up. The IHOP is fine with me, and the one over near Fairfax Circle is pretty quiet after the morning rush on the weekends.

ok, let's start thinking logistics. Will we call each other by our screen names or our real names? "Spencgr" isn't really an easily pronounceable word. But if everyone knows me by my given name, should I change my on-screen name?

While very interested to meet everyone (even you, TE), I will find it difficult to associate different "names" to everyone.

Yeah, Spencgr--I've wondered how to say that! I've been thinking it as "spence grrr.." Though now that I really think about it, it could be "S pen [and] cigar." Same with Spleuchan--"Sploichan" is what the voice in my brain says.

It would be funny if we all had on something with a clue as to our screen name. (I don't know if I can find a "Carls, Jr." hat anywhere, though.) But I imagine that if we did this we'd just introduce ourselves by screen name and continue going by those the whole time.

Wherever we go, I will have to pick up BrooklynBornDad and give him a ride so he doesn't get run over trying to ride his bike on 395. (Just kidding, BBD.)

OK, dorky idea here, but what if instead of a meal or C-D convention we met to volunteer somewhere? E.g., Habitat for Humanity or something else that could use warm bodies to help out.
