Geoff. . . .might want to modify the thread title to include "DC area" or "Northern VA" . . . . I don't know if there's more than one "Reston" in the country, but it's possible. . . . .

OK, I'm back from my sojourn to the not-frozen-at-all-but-hotter-than-hell-North and I'm putting together the cell phone number list, and I have
DebbiM, DRenee, Geoff and Susan in VA and of course, my own.
Anyone else want to PM me their cell phone number? This is not a requirement, but might be useful if we're trying to locate each other that day! If I've missed anyone, please resend because I've apparently deleted it by accident!
Betsy

I'll have time that day, and wanted to offer a ride to & from the meet to anyone who's reasonably close (as in, not Baltimore) and has no transportation.

The list last time we counted noses was:
ProfCrash
Susan
Me
Betsy
Ravenclawprefect
Deb
Harvey (maybe)
Heather (?)
tessa
Maybe Mike if things work out.
Of course anyone and everyone is welcome.
If you want to PM your cell phone numbers to Betsy for coordination, that would be helpful.
Just sayin.....

Unfortunately you'll have to uncount my nose. Things have changed and I'm not going to be able to make it. I'm not hoping for the September meeting.

I totally missed this thread. I sent my phone number.
Drenee: I hope that everything is ok.
In an attempt to make the initial meeting place a bit more specific I am going to suggest that we meet at the Ice Rink and William and Sonoma. That is a a specific corner and should prevent people from being staggered around the ice rink. (grins)

ProfCrash,
Thanks for suggesting a more specific location.
Most of us can find that, I am sure - but we would not have been able to suggest one ourselves.
All - keep the 14th on your calendar.

Works for me! I will send out the phone list in a couple of days. Betsy |

How do we advertise the meeting to people who might not check the Not Quite Kindle boards?

Betsy,
Do you think Harvey would want to put this in the blog as a "coming attractions"?
maybe the upcoming NYC meet also?
Or should we start a new thread - perhaps a sticky thread with the upcoming dates?
I think that if "we" promote these meets they will become a bigger thing all around the country.
Just sayin......

Susan, sorry about my post. I meant to say now hoping for September. Sorry about that.
I am having some medical problems. Not really sure what yet, but my blood tests suggest I'm bleeding internally. More blood work and tests scheduled.
Can't wait to see the pics from your meeting. Have fun. I'm sorry I have to miss it.

Thanks Harvey,
Advertising always helps.
We would like to see some of the lurkers (non registered readers of KindleBoards) join us too. This is a good opportunity for people who think they might want a Kindle to see them "in the wild".
Just sayin.....

I'm not sure if I'll be there or not (I'm trying though!) It's pretty far for me. If I do come, all the BRATs will be along as well (don't worry, they're pretty well behaved in public. It's only at home they are monsters)
I won't have my Kindle to show off, but I can ooh and ahh over everyone else's. (And if anybody coming has a DX, I would love to see it!)

Hey I had a thought and wanted the groups opinion.
Should I post this event over on the Amazon forum?
Do we want the meets open to the complete Kindle world?
Or just KB land?
Just askin.......

Ok, I has some of the same worries.
And I think it should only take one no vote to veto the idea.
I would not want anyone feeling uncomfortable.
Some of us have still never met each other.
Others because we did it once feel better about the meets.
So idea tabled.
Thanks for the feedback.
