DC Get-together - CURRENTLY POSTPONED!

Note: Updated 07/16/08

UPDATE: I am sorry that I have to type this, but due to circumstances well beyond my control, I have several serious decisions to make about my future in the next month. I won't bore anyone with details, but let's just say I may be forced to pick up a second job. While this prospect lingers, I can not keep time open for this. Once things have turned around and I have my life stable again, I will try to work on making this happen.

I greatly apologize to all of you that have expressed interest in this. I feel like I have let you all down, and I hope you can forgive me and be able to express the same interest if/when I am able to give this another shot.

Please Read! - We seem to have hit what I had placed as my "cap" for number of participants! While this number can be swayed, I need your opinions! I am willing to post pictures/dimensions of my apartment to help decide if we could have more people over. Please also note I have only 1 rock band setup, though I could setup another one on a much smaller tv or use the other tv for GHIII or something similar. Please post and let me know what you think!

I will setup a "waitlist" for now for any additional interested parties, as many have not yet posted if they are definite/probable for the gathering.

To everyone interested in the DC area:

In July, I am considering hosting a get-together at my apartment in Fairfax, VA. Since there has been a severe lack of rock band events going on, I'd like to see if we could use this get-together to just rock out and have fun, any and all goofy ideas (such as voice changing masks for people to sing with) are welcome. So come out, have some food, some beers (or soda/juice for you youngsters), and have fun!

Here's the current status for Attendees, the cap is 20 people.

hey man, this sounds good...i will try to make it out when you get things more concrete. Also, there is the place that i have been "promoting" for awhile down in Woodbridge called Hard-Times Cafe(near Potomac Mills) that is doing Rock band as of Tonight (02/08/08). I am going to see how they have it set-up and will report back with how it was. It would be cool if some people came out to play just to make sure they do it more often.

but as for your get-together im sure i could come to that. Just keep all of us posted as to what is going on.

I like the sound of that. There are enough people in the NoVA region that We should get quite a bunch of people showing up. The timing would also help get more people (Cyclone could easily make it if it was spring break).

Anyway, count me in.

Yea man, I'd definately be down. I'm just a stones throw away in Arlington. We should get a NoVA/DC Endless setlist going at some point too.

I might try to make it down to woodbridge sometime - about 30 mins away for me, can't this weekend though. Maybe next weekend we could try to get a group together or something.

I should be free most weekends in March, don't have any specific plans at this time except for Easter weekend, which you already said is out. Might have a poker night on the 1st or the 8th...we haven't picked a specific day yet. I'll let you know.

I'm 26 and I've been known to enjoy a beer or two in my day, which I would happily bring along, though certainly not a big deal if you want to limit that in case there are underage people. As for food, I'm game for whatever. Chipping in and ordering some pizzas sounds like a good way to go.

Edited OP with some info. I think the chart should be fairly self-explanatory.

This sounds good. Quick question Jav, where exactly are you in Fairfax? Just a bit curious, because if you're familiar with the Chantilly Library, I'm pretty much right behind it.

Anywho, I'm good for anytime really. Saturdays are usually my "girlfriend" day, so if It's done there, I'll only be there for limited time. As for a tournament, I probably wont participate. I've had my fill of being competetive regarding video games. I'm just looking to have fun these days, and I think that by switching out some rock band members with randomized songs would be pretty awesome.

Basically, put me in for whenever, and I can maybe throw in for some food for put me down for that as well.

Well hers my info as far as this goes...Im 32, and i would chip in for food/drinks if need be. I will see if i can get one of my band mates to come with me (the singer). Im with silverknight727, im not really up for Comp/tourney...but i think (after a few meetings with other SH'ers) ill be up for Endless Setlist.

as far as what weekends, i unfortunately do not have a GF to worry about so im pretty much for any weekend...

Most likely, If I were to go, Cyclone would be taking me, so 1st week of march is best.
