[rich @ Dec 19th 2005 12:18AM]

The week i'm gone for work, you guys are in town, AHHHHHH

[Mattj @ Dec 19th 2005 12:18AM]

Sweet! I'll be there... but going along with some of the other people, what exactly is going on there? Should I bring my laptop?... I'm so young and stupid (20)

[Jim Wilson @ Dec 19th 2005 12:18AM]

Where's the South Orange County meetup, 'yo?

[Jingo Jamming @ Dec 19th 2005 12:18AM]

I'm in the same boat as #13-- will be out of DC when you're doing your meetup. crap!

[robotrock @ Dec 19th 2005 12:18AM]

[Bamboo @ Dec 19th 2005 12:18AM]

I might come in from Alexandria. What will be going on though? Tell me you are having door prizes and a ton of tech to play with. How bout some of those awsome huge LCD and Plasma TVs you are always showing :))))))

[chris @ Dec 19th 2005 12:18AM]

I'll be there. I'm interning in the waldorf area, but it is worth the ride.

[Dignan17 @ Dec 19th 2005 12:18AM]

Excellent! I've never been to the Warehouse, but I've been to the Warehouse Next Door, their little club. Seems like a cool place.

Will things end exactly at 9? I don't get off work until 8!

[Shaan Bhagat @ Dec 19th 2005 12:18AM]

DAMNIT!!!!!! I so want too go to this!!!! I LIVE IN DC!!! But I'm in pittsburgh till AUgust 20th.

[Reggie @ Dec 19th 2005 12:18AM]

Man this is an awesome 21rst birthday present, sure its a couple days after but who cares. BIG QUESTION OF THE NIGHT: WILL THERE BE ANY HOT GIRLS? I know my engadget bots will come through.

[Ben @ Dec 19th 2005 12:18AM]

Man, this is way too far from my office. (NPR...635 Massachusetts Ave, NW)

[wayan @ Dec 19th 2005 12:18AM]

Yeah baby! Geekcorps will be there ready to Geek-out.

[Leo Chan @ Dec 19th 2005 12:18AM]

When can we have one in Hawaii?

[jg @ Dec 19th 2005 12:18AM]

sweet i'll try and get there. its good to see dc getting love.

[Mike @ Dec 19th 2005 12:18AM]

Well, I would love to come, but nothing could get me into DC on a weeknight. At 7pm? The metro will be a nightmare, traffic worse. If it was held on a weekend during daylight hours, I would be there. After Dark in DC? Nope. :)

[Ryan Groat @ Dec 19th 2005 12:18AM]

I think I'll take the metro from Springfield into DC just for this event. I don't have anything previously planned for Monday night yet, so you guys helped to fill in a lonely night. Look for me there with my huge 17" Powerbook.

[Mattj @ Dec 19th 2005 12:18AM]

I wonder what type of tasty giveaways there will be! It boggles the mind and imagination!

[Andrew @ Dec 19th 2005 12:18AM]

NOOOOO!!! I'm not moving into GW until the end of the month. Oh cruel fate, why must you taunt me?

[ram @ Dec 19th 2005 12:18AM]

Oh this is cool...I am gonna go for this meet. By the way, is it paid entry? CHILL OUT DDDDDCCCCCC FOLKS

[Jim Wilson @ Dec 19th 2005 12:18AM]

Can we bring some Resumes?

[DM @ Dec 19th 2005 12:18AM]

#29 is a Wuss!!

See you on Monday.

[DM @ Dec 19th 2005 12:18AM]

#29 is a Wuss!!

See you on Monday.

[Harrison @ Dec 19th 2005 12:18AM]

I second the notion that #29 is a wuss. Grow a pair, man. You sound like the type that never leaves Arlington on the weekends. Am I right?

[treomeo @ Dec 19th 2005 12:18AM]

#29, you just said that to goad me, didn't you? DC after dark? if you don't take advantage of this city's night life, you're lame. on second thought, don't.

[Evan @ Dec 19th 2005 12:18AM]

I am psyched! So going to be there! Man, I feel like some kind of teen fanboy--and I'm 32! I guess I'm just a geek. :D

[Evan @ Dec 19th 2005 12:18AM]

#31, I'm more excited about what Pete will have on display. Those were some interesting photos from the Manhattan meetup.

[B @ Dec 19th 2005 12:18AM]

I'll be there!

[Don @ Dec 19th 2005 12:18AM]

awesome! i work at NPR, so it's right up the street from me!

[Bryan @ Dec 19th 2005 12:18AM]

anyone know what the parking is like there? their site says "street parking" but I drive a truck and there probably wont be anywhere on the street to park. Google maps shows a huge parking lot to the E, is it usable?

[alex webb @ Dec 19th 2005 12:18AM]

This sounds awesome, I live in charlottesville 2 hour drive, but ill find some way to get there!!!!

[Mike @ Dec 19th 2005 12:18AM]

Are you freaking kidding me? The one day you're having it is the week I'm on vacation??? That just so sucks. Oh well, I'll just have to be happy with my EVDO and SlingPlayer and catch your posts about what happened online. Dammit! LOL

[mjalex @ Dec 19th 2005 12:18AM]

It's going to great, standing in a room with a bunch of sweaty dudes with no AC. ;-)

It's going to be in the Warehouse NextDoor, right? That's where the bar is. Or the cafe? the Theater?

[Kamalot @ Dec 19th 2005 12:18AM]

Everyone bring your Nintendo DS for wireless gaming action.

[Paul at Warehouse @ Dec 19th 2005 12:18AM]

The DC Meetup will happen both in the Warehouse Bar/Cafe and in the Warehouse Theater. We do have A/C. Parking on Monday nights is usually pretty easy - there are meters on both sides of the street. There is a parking garage 2 blocks south on 7th St. And METRO is very convenient - 1 block to Green/Yellow line. 4 blocks to Red line.

We'll set up a bunch of tables and electric outlets and have plenty of chairs. And we do have free WiFi. We'll also be running beer specials and we have coffee drinks. Food will be limited since our chef is on vacation.

See you Monday!
