Is it typically on a weekday? Unfortunately I can only do weekends.

I really need to move back down to DMV. Maybe this year.. I'm going to need some crates Adam..
No, we have before but its stressful for most with kids, families, and distances. Probably gong to make it a Sunday afternoon, once I can check which weekend will be the warmest.

I know I've been gone for a while but I'm definitely interested if it's on a weekend and not too far. I'm also in the Hampton Roads area.

Let us know if you need any help coordinating
At which location last meetup happened?
If space is an issue, local libraries are great place and we can try to reserve a spot.
I can be available most evenings/weekends in June but not available in July.

Get together to discuss entrepreneurial subjects and taking the fast lane; I don't think it would be the brightest idea to spend money on something like that. Let's meet somewhere that doesn't require us to pay for each others company and knowledge. Starbucks?

Everybody has hobbies. I happen to love karting, so spending money on it is reasonable (for me). But I can see why it wouldn't be so appealing to everyone. I only suggested it here because it was mentioned earlier in the thread.

I'm down for Starbucks. But I'll be getting water because, to me, Starbucks beverages are not reasonable purchases (for me). ;)

If anyone still wants to move forward with this, I'm in the Lorton/Springfield area and have another fast-lane friend whom would be willing to attend.

Well, very slow response in DC region!
Should we start a new thread / new meetup for DC?
I am willing to start evenings or weekends, please respond anyone interested.

I live in the Waldorf area.
Definitely down to meetup if we're able to get enough people.
Starting a new thread may not be a bad idea.

Anyone else thoughts??
I don't see how a new thread would make a difference. Go ahead, set a date, time and place and the people that can make it will show up.

Trying to get consensus in advance may be more challenging than expected.

I think that works for me, although commuting from DC to Chantilly at that time may be a small challenge.

Let me know when you have an idea of topics you want to discuss.

Thanks for joining! I am in IT Consulting... I guess what we do is should not matter. Main goal is to discuss solutions to any challenges we might be facing. Also accountability should kick in as side product.

I guess nobody else has committed. So let's cancel for today due to low participation. I am open for new time slots in evenings/weekends.
Please acknowledge the cancellation.
