WizardTrip Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 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!!).

redtomato501 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Can't wait for Sunday! And yes, Saint Ex! With the addition of WizardTrip, our party is up to 8 or 9 people! Jofalltrades, since it seems that we are the unofficial organizers for this, do you want to put the reservation in online or shall I?

JessOfAllTrades Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Unfortunately I'm not sure if they accept reservations for brunch. I will double check. And alienjenn - sorry we picked a date that didn't work for you! But it will be awesome to have you sub and hopefully come out for another event.

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.

Taylot Posted March 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 AH! So I had planned to be there but I'll be heading to the Austin meetup instead this weekend. I'm in for next time! Quote Link to comment
courtneyc Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 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. Quote Current Challenge, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 "Talent is cheaper than table salt.

Then again, it wouldn't let me do any other times or number of people, so it may just be the system. 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!

JessOfAllTrades Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 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! Quote Storytelling Rebel | Blog | Twitter "“You've seen my descent, now watch my rising." ~ Rumi Link to comment
redtomato501 Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 She really does look like her profile picture; I, on the other hand, look nothing like mine. Since I haven't put on clothes for the day yet, I can at least say long braided hair and blue/black sunglasses. I trust we'll figure it out, though!
