    At first I was disappointed because I do so enjoy shadiness... then I was excited because, let's face, what's shadier than making mysterious sales outside bars!

    Razorwire, did you get the PMs I sent you? Let me know if you're interested (assuming, of course, you make it).

    One side note: it appears as though 90% of the football games today are at 1pm, so they should all be done by the time we're in there. Hopefully it won't be too crowded.

    Well guys, turns out I won't be able to make it today. Some pretty important family business came up this morning and I'll be out of the state the rest of the day. Okay, just in DC but, that -is- out of state haha.

    Ah, that sucks. We'll make arrangements for your Blurr later then.

    Also: to those who are coming, I'll try to get there early to grab a table, and I'm wearing a green Pitfall (the atari 2600 game) t-shirt.

    Indeed! I cleared out my inbox for some space and forgot to uncheck your message. I couldn't for the life of me remember who wanted him so thanks for saying something here haha.

    I will most definitely be at the next meetup though! Come rain or shine! Though I suspect snow will be the main weather for next time lol.

    Hell yeah I could do once a month. Shame I couldn't go this time - battling what I thought was a cold...turned out to be acute bronchitis. Didn't feel like giving y'all the sickness. Glad to hear it was fun though!

    Same here, and I'd like to echo it was nice meeting you gentlemen (I use that term loosely) :lol  Seriously though, it was fun and thanks to everyone for the sales/buys. Next time I'll try to bring some diff stuff.

    For the stuff that didn't sell, do you guys usually sell on ebay, craigslist or some other method?

    yeah, i'll mirror the "thanks for coming out" to everyone, it was pretty fun.

    I suppose once a month is probly doable, though the next two months people schedules might be tighter, due to all the holidays coming. I'm sure we can work something out.

    Want to keep this thread as a "catch all" thread for NoVA meetups and we'll just bump it again when we pick a new date?

    I vote for Hard Times Cafe this time around; it is about 2 blocks from the Green Turtle.
