Possible, but very unlikely.

Update:

This probably will not be happening this year in an official sense.  But I will be checking out T-MODE in two weeks with an eye for a possible event next year.  If anybody else is attending, we can put together some sort of unofficial meetup.

[Blue Lion]

I would go, but it just looks creepy to me 

[Colonol Dekker]

If it's not happening this year can I suggest a topic title change?
 
HLP DC book your place now.
 
Or something similar.

I'll be making a two and a half week roadtrip from Omaha to Augusta later in May, so if anyone wants to meet up anywhere along the way, I'm down.  Haven't determined the exact route yet, but it's going to one of these two:
1) I-80 through Iowa and Illinois to Chicago, I-65 through Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee to Nashville, then I-24 to Atlanta.
2) I-29 to Kansas City, I-70 to St Louis, then I-24 to Atlanta.

If anyone lives along either of those routes, give me a headsup and we can do lunch or something.

[Thaeris]

I know the Battman is from Chicago and I'm in northwest Indiana, if that's any help to you. 

[Blue Lion]

So is this not gonna happen?

[Colonol Dekker]

There are still eight'ish months before the title needs changing....

[Blue Lion]

That is true, but I suspect it may be 8 months of... well, what we're doing right now.

[Colonol Dekker]

I think the London series has been successful because dates are simply being set and letting details be amended rather than trying to agree on an initial date in the first place.
 
 
Also see if There's an event it can be based around. . . Film or something, you get the idea.
 
 
Of course, it depends how many people are willing to put in the effort on DCs end.

[Goober5000]

Well, that's why I made reference to T-MODE above.  It had specific date, location, and details.  But nobody from HLP showed up to the convention, and nobody replied on this thread suggesting an alternative.

And I rather think that HLP London is successful because people are located closer together.

Exactly.  Most of you London folk are, what, an hour away from the meeting place by train at most?  Just as example, DC would be a two-to-three-hour car ride for me, and that's a city I'd consider being relatively close.

[Colonol Dekker]

I won't apologise for our centralisation. I'll just recommend that you guys just make more effort

Yeah, and I think the nearest HLPer to me is Scotty down in Kansas...and then someone in Colorado...and then our mass of HLPTexans.  So...yeah. 

[iamzack]

Me and Tura and Klaus are like 4 hours from DC. Me and Tura would totally come though.

[Goober5000]

Well, why didn't you respond to the T-MODE post then?

[iamzack]

I don't know what T-MODE is. Also I was banned for like a month.

[Goober5000]

I linked to it.

[BloodEagle]

Nice reference there, Goober. 

[Goober5000]

FUBAR's idea.

You should see what iamzack volunteered to do on IRC.
