Cinderrain Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Hey all! I've actually lived in Northern VA my whole life, but I just now finally got around to creating an account on here. I'm just posting to express my interest in the local NF meetup that we seem to be talking about now. I would be interested in either a social type gathering, or getting together to work out once the area stops being a frozen tundra. -Andy Quote Link to comment

And if we can't get ready for the April one, there's one in May and June - so plenty of chances.

ORazor Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Hello everyone - I'm here in DC, and it would be cool to meet up. I spent some time in the military, and I have nothing but horrible memories of rucks. But hey, I guess I'd still do it! :-P Quote All men are frauds. The only difference between them is that some admit it. I myself deny it. Current Challenge Link to comment
redtomato501 Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 The rucking looks awesome! Maybe April, although May/June seems a safer bet for me personally (and cheaper, since we'd be early enough for a discount at this time). Since we've been having a hard time getting people together for an active meetup, would it make sense to do a more stereotypical DC-style meet up such as a happy hour or a brunch, if just to get together and meet and make plans from there?

JessOfAllTrades Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I think a happy hour/brunch meet up would be a good idea. I'm assuming this weekend is too soon, but how about brunch next weekend? (I like brunch) Quote Storytelling Rebel | Blog | Twitter "“You've seen my descent, now watch my rising." ~ Rumi Link to comment
heyarnold13 Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Brunching is one of my specialties. This weekend is definitely too soon, but I'd be down for next weekend or the weekend after!

JessOfAllTrades Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 I don't know any good places in DC, but brunching sounds like a good plan to me! Saturday or Sunday? Quote Storytelling Rebel | Blog | Twitter "“You've seen my descent, now watch my rising." ~ Rumi Link to comment
JessOfAllTrades Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 So I found this place from dcist, and was won over by Millennium Falcon toast. http://www.saint-ex.com/menus/brunch Also here's the whole list, if anyone else has input: http://dcist.com/2013/10/the_best_brunch_spots_in_dc.php Since I don't actually live in DC I haven't been in a lot for food (which is such a shame), so definitely open for better informed decisions. And I would lean towards Sunday for the day, since I forgot I have Terp Thon on that Saturday (12 hour dance thon, woooo) Quote Storytelling Rebel | Blog | Twitter "“You've seen my descent, now watch my rising." ~ Rumi Link to comment
redtomato501 Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Saint-Ex sounds like an excellent suggestion - interesting and diverse menu, with meal options that are or can easily become Paleo/vegetarian/etc. It sounds like the days on the table areSaturday March 8thSunday March 9thSaturday March 15thSunday March 16th...with Sunday March 9th being the most solidly preferred time by recent respondants. Saint-Ex - assuming it is amenable to all parties - serves brunch between 11-4 on Saturdays and Sundays, so how does Sunday, March 9th at 1:00pm sound? In case that doesn't work for people, I've created a Doodle so we can get a sense of when people are available to participate: Click here!!! to put in availability, if desired. I did each of the dates above with an option for 11am, 1pm, and 2:30pm. The (Yes) option is a "Maybe", or "If need be" option. I'm not usually this organized, so enjoy it while it lasts. 1 Quote Current Challenge #39 - 15.02.23 | Challenges: #38, #29 | Fitocracy: redtomato501 Link to comment

torpedotor Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Totally forgot about the FB group, too. I would vote 1:00 or 2:30 on Sunday March 9th. Saint Ex looks sweet.

redtomato501 Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 7 people have responded to the Doodle so far! It seems like the original proposed date is the majority-rules-winner so far (Sunday at 1), but I just messaged anyone that has posted in this thread before and has been active on NF in the last month so we can try to get a couple more... As it's only been 24 hours, but this is a tight timeline, I'd suggest letting people post through Monday, so that we can put in a reservation Tuesday morning, especially if it's going to be this Sunday after all. Sound good? *highfive* Quote Current Challenge #39 - 15.02.23 | Challenges: #38, #29 | Fitocracy: redtomato501 Link to comment

JessOfAllTrades Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 So I wanted to pass word along about this: http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/45359-warrior-dash-maryland/ Fenshire's looking for some local nerds to meet/hang out with/potentially run. I'm incredibly intimidated by the obstacles, but planning to be there as support at least.
