Hey Guys,

I'm moving to DC on Wednesday from Kingston, Jamaica and I'm diving right into business. If there's anyone from the forum interested in meeting up [even though this thread has been silent for a while], I'd love to meet you guys.

Blessings,
Graham

Hi Andviv,

I'll be living in a suburb in Maryland, right near the metro.

I managed one of the biggest Reggae production houses right now, used to own a bar, was pretty involved in Jamaican politics.

Starting a sales and distribution company - hitting the ground running, Thursday morning.

I tried to check out the meetup group but the link was apparently dead. Is it not being used anymore?

Sounds good. I'm going to be busy until just after the beginning of September (taking a trip to visit family and friends back up north) but once I get back I'll start looking for a good spot.

Saturday, Nov. 8th, 8pm vs. the Hurricanes.

This might work well.... How many of you are in for that day/time/activity?

@andviv @Mark Foster II @Mike Kavanagh @z6Evolved @benhebert @Ctrl+S @Caroline @Mr. Icy @Zulu @Twiizlar @secretentourage @PeteLife @Jill @Jamal99

If we get 3+ this is one and I will email the existing group as well. FYI meetup.com is not active anymore as the cost did not outweigh the benefit.

Hi everyone! I attended a few DMV Fastlane Meetups in the past, but it seems that life got very busy and the organizers had to step down. Lately I've been missing the chance to engage with you guys. So I've reestablished our DMV Fastlane Meetup. Please check it out at the link below:

http://www.meetup.com/The-VA-MD-DC-Fastlane-Business-Meetup/

My plan is to schedule our first meetup for next Friday (3/27). It'll probably be at a happy hour location in DC or Northern VA, giving people a chance to meet, have some drinks, get reacquainted and then go from there.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions on HH spots/places to go.

Hope to see you all soon.

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'm all for meeting up also, I'll be commuting from Maryland (Gaithersburg to be exact). I'm currently starting up a private label ecom business, is anyone else in the same boat? I would love to bounce idea's off of one another if so.

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.

Acknowledged :frown:

If you'd like to meet up @andyandy let me know, I can meet up with you in NoVa - I'm very serious about my Fastlane business.

Talked to a few locals about this, let's get something rolling since there are a few new people in the area. If there isn't a ton I could host at my house, otherwise there are lots of nice places around.

What dates, weekends are you all open?
Suggestions for locales to meetup unless you all want to come to Ashburn and admire all the data centers and posh posh new developments... LOL.

I am somewhat open almost ever weekend, lets try for something in Nov either weeknight or weekend afternoon.

(Why doesn't Vbulliten let you tag users... this should be fundamental by now)

Interested People (location) -


Lighthouse ( loudoun cty)
Andviv (loudoun cty)
Jill (NC will fly up if availible)
twizlar? (hampton roads)

This is a phenomenal idea.

It should be standard, I did see one forum at some point with the capability, i am sure it was an add-on. At this point though, tagging is a common function, so the most popular forum software should have it built in!

Because vBulletin is still operating under late 90's ideas.

That's what happens when you are the major in an industry, no need to innovate if your product thats behind the times is still better then all the other products.

I can only speak for the ones i have been too, but most are in loudoun/fairfax as its somewhat central. That would be about 3 hours drvie for you.
