This is a second thread about the Meet-up on June 27th at 6 pm at Mango Mike's in Alexandria, VA. The big hit at the last meet-up was seeing Nate's fantastic collection of electronic reading devices. It is like a great traveling show with many instruments that I had only heard of or seen in fuzzy photos. To view the collection alone is worth the admission price -- you also get to meet all sorts of great people plus fantastic food and drink.
(You can find the evolution of the meeting in the original thread here.)
The purpose of this new thread is to save people from being having to go through five pages of notes although lilac_jive was kind enough to modify her first post to create a top level summary.
For those of you just tuning in, allow me to recap. Lilac started the current call for a meeting and Cassidy offered to serve as host and secured the location. (Our prior meet-up was in Herndon.)
At the moment the attendance list looks like this:
Confirmed:
- Lilac - Vienna (from PA) [1]
- Kaz - west of Dulles [2]
- Enola - Northern Virginia [1]
- Cassidy - Alexandria [2]
- Steve Jordan - Maryland [2]
- Percy - Virginia(?) [1]
- Nate - Woodbridge [1]
- Wood - Oak Hill [2]
Possible:
- Uncle Duke - Silver Spring (from parts unknown) [1]
We will be in the Havana Banana Room, next to the bar. It kicks off at 6:00 pm (18:00.) It is a no smoking restaurant; however, smoking is allowed just outside the door.
