I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm getting DC hotel res. for Jan

[LynneSin]

I may have missed out on the convention but I sure as hell will be in DC for the inaguration. I know where there is a great hotel that is reasonbly priced with giant size suites. I could get a room and a bunch of us could crash there for the biggest party of the year!!

[JohnKleeb]

1. I dont need a hotel, I live here

:D, and boy oh boy am I gonna have fun that day, just dont give me too much sugar or alcohol, and I'll be fine.

[Ramsey]

2. JK

Lynne is incapable of not giving you too much alcohol. She carries liter bottles of tequila around with her at all times. She is truly evil. You should be very afraid!

:evilgrin:

[JohnKleeb]

6. that would work on me if I were another DUer around my age

but being part Irish, I just love Guinness and Harp. I'll keep my eye out.

[faithnotgreed]

4. hey john - where are you? im newish to du and a couple yrs in adams

morgan.... i could dig meeting other duers sometime

and i loooove that i live here (for a few reasons) but esp because january 20th is going to kick!

[JohnKleeb]

5. right outside of DC in the Va 'burbs

So, yeah we got a good amount of people in this area, great place to live though I wanna leave when I graduate.

[faithnotgreed]

7. gotcha - thanks... sorry you want to leave but good to know we shall

definitely be here in january. ive been surprised how much i like it here. natural food stores, good places to eat mass transit and all the good stuff in a small city.

[JohnKleeb]

10. eh I am getting at that age

Virginia does that to me. I'll definely be here for the next few years.

[faithnotgreed]

12. i hear ya on virginia.... though i love that they are in play this year

[JohnKleeb]

14. its great

really is, to see all that Kerry gear on cars, I'd be happy if he got within 5 percent of Bush here, after all Gore got creamed here and hes a southerner, and Clinton couldnt win here despite that yet Kerry could do it as a yankee liberal,

[faithnotgreed]

17. exactly. i saw someone mention here that no matter what state

youre in, vote kerry if you are even remotely inclined. even if its a "safe state" (thats another matter!) but even if its "safe", it gives a great message for kerry to even be competitive in more heavily republican states

i love this

[fishnfla]

3. Hey thats a cool idea. How does one wrangle tickets

to inaugeral events? I asked Skinner, we should auction some off for a DU fundraiser

[LynneSin]

8. Even if you don't get to the main event there are still activities happeni

:D

[GoddessOfGuinness]

9. Good. I'll buy you a beer!

Just let me know when you're in town! :beer:

[faithnotgreed]

11. lynne - i hope you and a bunch of others will trek here for

that historic day...

it is going to be a highlight of life to see the masses come out for president kerry
one massive party

[spooky3]

13. hey DC area Duers--don't forget to check the DC, MD and VA forums

from time to time. Someone tried to organize a get together for all of us but I don't know if it got off the ground. Maybe we can do it in January.

I love this area; it's a great place to live.

[faithnotgreed]

15. i would love it... i joined here several months ago and didnt

know about the area meetup. where was everyone going to meet?

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

22. Hey you and I haven't spoken much

but I have ALWAYS admired you from afar and I thought I should tell you. You are like my FAVORITE poster here.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

29. Lynne

I didn't use any smilies in my post and you didn't respond to it, so I just want to make it clear, if it wasn't already, I was being very tongue-in-cheek.

[Bronco69]

[JohnKleeb]
