    Yep, DC101 has definitely stepped up to the plate.
    Edit: When's their next big event anyways? We should do that.

    Umm, Blocktoberfest is first weekend of october at RFK. That seems a bit too soon though.

    Or does it?


    Probably too soon I'd imagine. Never been to it however, so if it doesn't require tickets or anything it might be doable... it'd just be a matter of people knowing about it and being able to make plans. If it's on a weekday tho.. that could suck.

    We could all just wander around the Mall .... take in some culture .... see some naked statues, that kind of thing.

    Get a group of like.. 200 people to do that... that'd be awesome. Just all roll up on the food court and stand in the same line.

    get 10-20 forumers up to the top of the monument


    they have a merry go round there!

    i live like 45 minutes away from downtown (in good traffic), so you wouldn't want to do that

    but you could help me at work, fari

    almost every other customer is russian

    almost every five russian customers don't speak english and aren't looking for video games

    they pick the one store in the shopping center that isn't russian to come in and ask for help

    one of my coworkers found out how to say "bad game" in russian because of all the little kids that try to buy GTA and i try to explain to their parents what's in it but they don't understand me and the kids say "i told her what's in it, it's okay"

    i was going to record my one friend explaining (in russian) the content of GTA and just play that whenever i have a parent that doesn't speak english come to buy it for their kid

    but i'd feel so condescending

    -free
    -gambling
    -alcohol
    -giant horse penises

    Hehehe... I really wouldn't have an issue with a weeknight, but it does tend to limit things for anyone that has a weekday job.

    Just updated the first post for another interested person. I thought we had more people in the area than this. But still.. there's a handful, so could easily put something together with this many (provided we can all agree on when and where).

    oh yeah,

    as an idea, I think it'd be fun to either play lots of console games/watch movies. That's what other geeks do.

    i think.

    If you know of others in those forums, can always point them to this thread!

    Unless a mod can do some multi forum advertising kind of deal.

    Agreed, that something to set up as like a weekly/monthly get together with a smaller number of people in the area... not a first time "HEY, lets all meet up" kind of deal.

    FINE! You don't want to play with our Wiis...

    It's cool though, i think we could figure something out. It should have an activity though, maybe a lunch/dinner or a movie or something,that way we can all talk about it.

    Guys, I am all up ins.

    PLEASE make it a weekend.

    And let me have enough advance notice to take off work at Gamestop.



    Alternatively everyone can come hang out at my store, and watch me try to talk little kids into spending all of their money on pre-orders

    My dearest Evander, guess what?






    My car got vandalized with swastikas and Hitler quotes today.

    Also, in one of my classes while we were discussing Zoroastrianism the subject of heaven and hell came up, and I told them about Jewish beliefs on the subject (or at least, what you told me).

    Wow, that's some pretty petty high school shit right there. I'd rather get punched in the face, at least it's cheaper to take care of.

    Pfft, I'm trying!

    It's a slow process but at least there's some people interested, after that we can get started on the ugly ugly task of actually figuring out when and where to all go.
