NoVA / DC / MD meet! - Page 25

Well the grills, etc are right near the front entrance, to the right, can't miss'm. The only thing is the parking is down away from the grills abit.
From what I remember, there aren't that many grills available, so... if we're going to snag one, what time do you think would be good? I'll go stake a claim, just don't know when I should head out there... I have to drop my brother off at the airport at about 8-9am... so I figure I can head that way around 11 or so. Here's the GREAT FALLS PARK page. If snagging a grill there is too much of an issue, we could do Turkey Run, and bring our own... lol but if no one has one... oh, and who's the Grill Master? lol

How many folk are planning on going? We do need a count to guesstimate the food needed... Granted it's always better to have more than not enough...
If Sonic is getting the dogs, I'll take on the chips/dips/buns. I'll get the characoal as well... just need to know what to get... :-\

So that leaves the condom-mints, and someone having a lighter

Here is a Google Maps Hybrid View of the area we'll be looking at for the picnic. The larger, connected buildings you see are just above the picnic area. You can see the parking above and slightly to the left of the buildings.

Parking Lot Coordiantes:
38.997868,-77.255749

Working in news, and with the VA Tech shooting, I might have to work short notice style.

So I don´t know for sure if I´m gonna be able to make it.
I guess, if I can make it, I´ll just get some more of that delicious malt beverage we all love !!!

EDIT: and of course we are not gonna drink any because as you all know... we are driving...

EDIT: actually what´s the amount of beer you can drink before being potentially in trouble with the Popo ?
May be I can bring a 33cl can we can all share !!! LOL

Sonicxtacy02 · 04-20-2007, 09:08 AM

Yeah...I want my obituary to read "killed in a trajic highway BSOD"...

"He was a great guy."
"Yeah...how'd it happen?"
"Driver conflict."
"...you mean road rage?"
"No...Windows."

...I'm thinking it would be kinda cool to have a voice-activated nav that responds to the phrase "find Sarah Connor". That would freak the wife out.

Homebrew · 04-20-2007, 07:15 PM

So what time are we meeting?

W3bMa5t3r · 04-20-2007, 07:18 PM

2pm... lol no one really answered my last post. Hopefully things work out right. I'll try to be there an hour or two early to grab a grill. Any particular charcoal I should get?

hithere · 04-20-2007, 07:40 PM

I'm gonna guestimate 10 people for which to buy burger...does that sound reasonable? It looks like I'm gonna end up with a box or two of Bubba burgers or something, unless anyone objects or wants to split the cost for better quality.

And the odd request: Does anyone that's coming happen to have a nice condenser mike and some RTA software? I'll buy a case for the person who shows up with one and some knowlege of how to use it.

Sonicxtacy02 · 04-20-2007, 10:03 PM

me my wifey and kids will be there a little after 12 probably. Cya there everyone.

cobase · 04-20-2007, 11:07 PM

I might have to leave before 3pm, so I'll get there a little early too.

Homebrew · 04-21-2007, 06:56 PM

It was nice seeing everyone there today, definetly a good time. I'm definetly gonna have to revisit the park and take in some of the sights. Great time today and I look forward to the next meet.
