It's the long-awaited HLP DC 2010 2011!  Black Wolf will be joining us all the way from Australia!  The date is Friday, June 10th and the venue is TBD.  If you're within travelling distance and would like to join us, please vote!

[Goober5000]

Seriously, only two people?  Black Wolf needs to meet the East Coast contingent of HLP!

Unfortunate timing for me, I'll be at Virginia Beach that weekend. :[

[Mustang19]

I live like two miles away and if I wasn't such a shut-in I'd let you guys have dinner at my house. Good luck though. Visit the air and space museum or something while you're in DC.

[Goober5000]

Pbhh, visiting your house doesn't matter... the real question is, would you be up for going somewhere in DC?

[Mustang19]

No thank you. Enjoy DC, don't get mugged. The Interational Spy Museum is kind of cool.

[Turambar]

I don't know if i can go.  I have work until 5:30 and it takes about 5 hours to get there.  Where are people staying?

If we move it to Cary, NC I can let everyone sleep at my place

[Goober5000]

Unfortunately this particular get-together is constrained by Black Wolf's visit.  He'll only be in DC for a short time.  Perhaps you can host a HLP NC at a later date.

I don't know where Black Wolf is staying, but everyone else will probably be at their respective houses/apartments/abodes.

hey, me too. 

i live there

[BrotherBryon]

I live about 4 hours away and my brother lives about an hour away but I doubt I could get a day off on short notice. Working nights sucks, then again if I didn't there is no way I could keep building models at the pace I have been here lately.

Holy **** you should see us at the beach then.

[Goober5000]

You guys are terrible.  This is the first HLP DC that is actually, really, officially occurring... and the only two people attending are me and Black Wolf.  He's coming all the way from Australia for goodness's sake!

[Black Wolf]

And let's not pretend. I'm likely to be off my tits. I'm pretty drunk right now. If I can make it totalled, you ought to be able to tmake it sober, right?

Fsking Right!

[Mongoose]

You're making me feel bad now.

[Goober5000]

Well, in a large part it's Black Wolf's fault.  He waited until there was less than two weeks to go before telling me what day he'd be in DC.

have you been to VB before?  you can't see the water from the boardwalk through all the people. 

goob: sorry we suck.  nothing personal, but i'm just not interested in making a trip to meet a few people from an internet message board.

It's like me,.........but not.


HIGH FIVE DUDE!!

Two miles   that's spitting distance, a twenty minute walk. A gentle jog, a five minute ride?

You guys need to PARTY HARD.

Oh yeah, several times.  Sure it's a little crowded but it's not THAT bad, plus it's not peak season yet.
View was pretty awesome a moment ago actually, bigass thunderstorm over the ocean.

Anyway back on topic I've been wanting to participate in an HLP USA/DC/something for a while but this was just bad timing.  So far I've met three HLPers in person and would love to hang out with more.  I'm looking forward to pics of goob and BW.  If there aren't any I will be very dissapoint. :<
Have fun you two!

[General Battuta]

Nothing personal, you are all bang-up guys, but IRL and internet should not be permitted to mix.

[Goober5000]

NO U

I haven't seen any of these objections over on the HLP London thread.  What gives?

Anyway Black Wolf was delayed by a strange laundry situation that seemed right out of a movie, but he and his mate finally showed up and we had a blast.  We ended up going to four different bars (although only spending significant time in two) and having all kinds of appetizers and drinks.  And then we played impaired shuffleboard and billiards.  Black Wolf dominated on both games, which surprised me as I was hoping to see a hamnyurger episode in person... but he said that he had a long way to go before he reached that level.
