    I think I could do the 11th or 12th, but not the 27th or 28th, since I'll be seeing my girlfriend that weekend. Would other people be able to do the dates maxlovesamber suggested, or would more people be able to make the original date and time (Sat, Oct 14th, 2pm)

    I can't do weekdays unfortunately. I work till 4, hour drive home in traffic, and pick up my son from school, etc..

    I don't want anyone to miss it or feel left out, but I'm thinking the original date might be best for this one (Oct 14th @ 2) because several folks are available. Should all go well, hopefully this will be the first of many.

    I figured that the original date would most likely be the best for more of us. So The Avenue at White Marsh on Saturday October 14th at 2PM is the plan then? Can't wait to meet you guys in person.

    I’d love to go but my anniversary is that night. As much as my wife tolerates and sometimes enables my hobby, I think skipping out would be really pushing it.

    Networking like this is a good way to find things you might be looking for at decent prices.
    Whatever you do...don’t start selling stuff in the restaurant. We were thrown out of a place for that. Or absolutely do it. That was my favorite part.
    Isn’t Della Rose’s a Ravens stronghold? I haven’t combined booze and bots but I’ve heard it can have hilarious consequences.

    Damn Don Pablo’s is still there!? Thought they were all gone. But yeah I’d be down with any of those options. Dellas is a Raven’s place, Red Brick probably has the most table space out of all the choices.

    @bagofshhh I swear one of these days I’ll finally run into you

    Yeah, I was kind-of leaning toward Red Brick. Anyone have any opinions on the matter? The Kilt is roomy on the inside as well (and also has other benefits) but the food is just ok.

    I look forward to it. I don’t get out as much as I used to. Now that you have a Mohawk you should be easier for me to spot. ;)

    I would love to do a meetup. I can really only do Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays though. I'm busy on weekdays. If we're doing a meetup on the 27th or 28th, that would be good for me.

    I was thinking of hosting a Meet up. On a Sunday it would just be cool to meet more local fans. I was thinking the first meet up could be at collectors corner in the parkville area. They have a gamers room that could accommodate a decent amount of people. They also have a decent selection of figures on a regular basis. I am going to start a transformers club here in the Baltimore/ D.C. Metropolitan area.

    It’s almost like you’re all catering to me :lol  I live pretty much right between collectors corner and the avenue at white marsh. Didn’t expect meetups to be this close lol.

    I used to live in Skylark before I bought my house! I like this area. Feel free to contact me for contact info. I was thinking of ordering pizzas. Looking forward to meeting with everyone. I also hope to establish a network to help people in the area get figures they want. More details to come my friends. Transform and Rise up!

    The nice thing about meetups is that we don’t have to limit them to once a year. To those who can’t attend on Saturday, we can always set something up for November or December.

    It would be cool to meet up once PoTP stuff starts hitting

    Should be fun! I’ve never really done a meetup before. Not really looking to buy or sell, but should I bring any figures? I have a few that some of you guys might want to check out in person (maketoys howling meteor and galaxy meteor as well as some newer mmc stuff)
