That's why I was thinking Glen Echo. The fact that I live in Bethesda had a lot to do with my suggestion.
Irish Inn?
Capital Region get-together?

Why should we Free BSD?
I was thinking about a FredCo meetup sometime in the near future. Hard Times on 40 hosted us the last time and we had a great time. No issues with staff or other patrons, even though some of the attendees were wearing progun clothing (psycosteve). We had the meeting/party area in the back and it was a good event all around.
Herding cats is easier.

HT once a week!! What does your doctor say about your cholesterol level?
Yes, Greg.
So when will this event take place?
I'm on statins. Cholesterol is about 80.
Greg and I have had similar medical issues. I knew him a little by eating at HT. I got to know him better because we were at Adventist rehab about a month or two apart.
great guy. Lots of guts.

I cast a vote for HT in Bethesda.

OP, do you mind if I create another thread for a FredCo member meetup in FredCo?
Does Erin still work there? Blonde chick, early 20's, real cutie. We used to meet up there every Wed night for bike night. Cool place.
Back to the question, I'll place another vote for Bethesda for whatever it's worth. I wouldn't mind coming out and meeting some fellow forum dwellers.
I don't recall a server by that name recently.
Sounds like the OP might be getting cold feet.
Heck yes, go ahead. Anyone can announce a meetup, just post a date, time, and location. Ask people to post in the thread or PM you if they plan to attend so you can give the resturaunt a heads up. Plan ahead on how you will have people pay, generally best to ask the staff for separate checks. Try to pick a pro-2A venue.
We have enough interest I'd say its time for someone/anyone to take lead and pick date/time/location. All sound good to me- Glen Echo, Hard Times, or Irish Inn.

I am not backing out of anything. I guess the better way to put it would have been, "I need to figure out how to take this on." I need to figure out logistics, and being in the first 3 months working as an attorney (in Towson) means I have some things I need to juggle.
I was thinking the Irish Inn, or possibly in the park itself. I have never been to Hard Times, does anyone know someone there I could talk to?

Now the question is, what day of the week/time do most people think? After work happy hour, or weekend dinner?
Ask to speak to Brian, John (managers) or Greg the owner.
Nate, check out threads about other successful meetups; they generally start with someone gauging interest (what you've done here), then the OP starts a new thread (link to it from this one); in the Events thread. Include all the details (you decide).
I've found that very local meetups are best after work on a week day, say starting at 4pm. Larger meetups are more popular on weekends, Saturday afternoon is usually best. Looks like you currently have over 50 folks interested, you'll likely get half that number. Still 20-30 members is a good turnout. Best for you to go with a place you like and know well, rather than someone else's recommendation.
Good luck and thanks for setting this up. Feel free to give me a call (or just email) if you want to talk about it.
Wednesday night at HT is half price wings.
