    I talked to a collector in Sterling yesterday and I'm pretty sure he will be going.

    I'll have to double check timing - our RIFTS tabletop game (intro'ing the next generation to old-school P&P RPGs :D  ) is around that time.

    But I'll say tentative yes?

    I'm still in. So we're at 5 total now? Just want to pin down how big of a table I should get. I'll try to get there 10 mins early so I can post where the table is, as the place is pretty big.

    Side note: the upstairs is a smoking area and the downstairs is smoke-free, I'd rather be down there if no one else minds.

    I'd say get a table for 6 and if extras show up we can grab some extra chairs. Non smoking is better for me too (didn't know they still had smoking sections in VA restaurants).

    I didn't either till I stumbled into one in old town Manassas a while back. The only places I've seen around here are that one in Manassas (jakes, i think?) and this particular Hard Times (though only about 1/3 of the restaurant).

    Non-smoking would be preferred as I have asthma and smoke is like air born death for me. A little overflow from upstairs should be tolerable if I pre-medicate first.

    Put me down for two people (myself and a friend of mine) - don't know if that makes 6 or 7. I'm checking with one more friend if Ashburn.

    Please non-smoking only or I will have to go elsewhere - if the smoke is a big problem for everyone, why not some other place in the Fairfax area?

    Man, I love Hard Times. But my brother-in-law's birthday party is that night so I'm up in MD.

    Have a good time, guys.

    Booo! I was going to bring my MP Alert in hopes that you'd bring your MP Laserbeak so I can have Alert shoot it down!

    Tempting, but I already have way too many of those guys...

    I also have way too many Vehicons, so I'll be bringing some of them if anyone wants them. Also I'll have my iGear Thundercracker for sale, if anyone wants him (or just wants to check him out).

    re: Smoking, I'll definitely get a table in the downstairs then. If the whole place reaks of smoke I'll stay outside and we can pick another place on the fly. There has to be 10 other non-smoking bars/restaurants down there.

    For those who haven't been there before, the parking lot is on the side and in the back of the building. The main front door faces the street but there's also a back door that's on the downstairs level, where I'll hopefully have a table.

    I'll bring in one of my Vehicons to put on the table so we'll be easy to pick out, for anyone who wasn't at the last one.
