At Saint Ex, yes?

Sorry for my inactivity recently. I responded to the doodle before I noticed the official date and time was decided. Luckily one of my time slots was the chosen one :) I have a birthday for a friend the night before, so no promises I won't be hungover (hair of the dog!!).

Unfortunately I'm not sure if they accept reservations for brunch. I will double check.

 

Looks like you're right- I tried the online reservation system, and it wouldn't let me complete one for that time. Then again, it wouldn't let me do any other times or number of people, so it may just be the system.

So I'm somewhat new to the DC area and just started my first challenge a little over a week ago. I'm definitely interested in meeting locals though.

 

Jofalltrades - I saw you mention the Terp thon; are you a UMD student? I'm in the physics program there. It would be cool to find another terp on the NF boards.  :joyous:

Welcome! I am a UMD student - I'm in the College of Ed. for School Counseling. And you should totally join us this Sunday at Saint Ex. We can catch the greenline down together (if you live near Greenbelt)

 Brunch sounds good. Greenbelt is the closest metro center to me, so that would work. What time do you want to meet?

Can we try calling or something? Sometimes, even if places don't take reservations, they'll put your name down if you call ahead and have a big group. And if you're super nice on the phone haha.

 

I'm really excited for this! Can't wait to meet some kickass nerds in the area!  :nevreness:

Hi! I'm in the area on the 9th. Can I come too?

 

Also, am I correct that this is a brunch and not a workout? I'm trying to decide whether to pound the pavement Saturday or not.

This is pure brunch madness! All food, no pavement pounding. 

 

Workouts come once we escape this arctic mess that is DC  :nevreness:

Yeah, I don't think we've quite escaped the Polar Vortex.

The more the merrier! I will call Saint Ex today and see how they recommend large groups handle brunch. ;)

 

Did you manage to get in contact with them?

 

See you all tomorrow! Any ideas on how we'll all be able to identify each other?   :playful:

All attempts calling Saint-Ex didn't work out. Not sure if I was just calling at the wrong time or what, but I also didn't get to call yesterday because of Terp Thon. So I'm going to say I'll aim to get there around 12:30 to get our name in 30 minutes before meeting time. Hopefully that will cut down on the wait time. I'm also going to try calling again (they open at 11).

 

As for recognizing each other, I'll have on a Mass Effect hoodie (Black with a red and white strip on one sleeve, a white N7 on the chest for you nongamer types) and probably my NF shirt under, if I can find it. I look like my picture though. But I won't be nearly as cute. Sorry y'all, you're lucky I'm putting on pants after a 12 hour dance marathon. ;)

 

Also here's my cell - area code 609 and then 5981484. Please feel free to text or call me if needed!

Awesome! Yeah I look like my picture, too, just not as well put together haha. I haven't gotten around to what on earth I'll be wearing, but my hair will be in its usual Katniss braid and there is a good chance I will be wearing either red or blue flannel. My digits are 713 area code and 8247447. See y'all soon!
