Afternoon weather calls for rain/thundershowers. Bring an umbrella/poncho/forcefield as necessary. Perhaps we should investigate nearby eateries in case of a possible rainout. There is a food court to the south, NE of the Torpedo Factory.

What Happened?

A fairly large group met up around the big ol' tree in Founder's Park which was the official geohash point. We relocated to a nearby foodcourt for games and fun times after the local constable warned us of a coming storm. After a while, 10 of us relocated to a local tavern for food and drink.

Who Came?

  • Cerulean, a casual gamer, will try to be there at 4pm. I'll see if I can wrangle up a few more gaming buddies, too.
  • Ciel will definitely be there (look for a tall skinny guy with long hair). He will bring his Go set and is looking forward to some games!
  • jmacdonagh will be there with half a dozen or so other friends who are too lazy to sign up for this wiki.
  • Kiran thinks this location is so convenient, he has to come!
  • Alex H. will be there with a possible two people. Old Town Alexandria is a great place for contingencies as you can barely walk a step on King Street without tripping over a cafe.
  • EpeeGnome showed up much closer to on time than expected and had a wonderful time. This was his first geohash, he learned to play go, and he had some delightful conversations over a delicious dinner and beer at the pub.
  • Katie is leaving Baltimore now, and hopes people are there when she gets there!
  • Chris was there
  • Scott L. was there
  • Clint H. showed up to his first geohash, hopefully not his last though! Many good times were had.

Pictures are up! I'll have to stick around next time, but who knows if we'll ever get a great spot like this again anytime soon.
