About
The coordinates were remarkably convenient -- smack dab in the middle of someone's house, just southeast of Gladstone and Melrose, which eventually became the de facto location for the meet.
The event
Kevin arrived at about 3:55 PM Eastern time and biked around a bit, looking out for anyone else who may have been coming. By 4:05, he decided he was the only one after all, put up a little sign with the geohashing site and a plug for his own blug, and took a self-portrait. This was precisely the moment that Albert arrived. They took some more pictures of each other and talked about local theatre. (Related news: the Orpheus Musical Theatre Society is putting on The Sound Of Music in June.)
Pictures

Kevin was there first. The picture of the actual sign came out blurry.
Albert is sporting a Firefox design on his t-shirt! He is also a safety-concsious biker, what with the helmet and all.
