Any DU meetups in early August in CT, Mass or NYC?
I may have a couple of free weekends coming up in early August and was wondering... I've never met a DUer in person before.

28. Brunch or lunch is fine with me
some place where they have a decent amount of choices for a somewhat picky 5 year old...

19. at the local Olive Garden right?
just kidding.

No idea where a good place would be - hopefully, people's eyes won't gloss over if we talk a bit of D&D.

21. My ranting and complaining about 4.0 will get their attention.
:P

I'll keep that to a minimum. :)

22. I have the books
but have barely looked at them. My ongoing 3.5 campaign occupies my free time since I'm the DM.

24. 3.5, modified with a few house rules is FAR better than 4.0
If I start a campaign down here I'm definitely sticking to 3.5.

3. Come have drinks with us.
Either after 5:00 on Sat. the 2nd or anytime on the 3rd. We could get a whole little group going (or you could hang with the Finns).

5. sounds like a good idea
The 2nd might be better because the 3rd is my father's birthday.

11. Drop either of us a PM if interested.
We're fairly social people and like getting out (and we could probably get more people to come). We'll be on vacation the following week with the kids, so NYC is out, but this might be fun.

12. I would love to do a CT meetup
I have always wanted to go to one but always seem to be busy with work.
I do have off the week of August 10.

I may be going into NYC that week but it may be with my mom so not sure how much time I would be able to hang out with DUers.

Let me know NewJeff if you plan anything.

34. If it is after mid August
and in CT please let me know too. If I could make it I would. That is if it would be ok for a newbie to attend. :)

26. I could be in on that,
but I'm out of town 7/30 through 8/5

I'm only a few miles from the CT border, and I'd love to meet you folks.
