    It says, "Welcome, Welcome, TCK's of Washington, D.C." It will be at Paul's house this year. Can't wait to see you all again : o )
  • Andrea
    Okie doke. It's set!

    Thanks everybody. It will be at Paul's house in Northwest Washington, D.C. Saturday, July 26, 2008.

    It's very convenient, near a Metro.
  • Marie
    great!
  • Caitlin
    We could certainly try to organise another for then!
  • Marie
    Could you possibly make it in late december ;) (i might be in d.c. at that point in time!)
  • Caitlin
    Not yet! We're waiting for one of the others from last year to come back from Jordan!
    Don't worry, we'll keep you informed!
  • Taqo_Belle
    Did I miss it? :(
    Please let me know if I haven't!! I'd looove to attend.
  • Andrea
    Paul,
    Will the first part of August work out? Right now we're planning on meeting at Paul's house.

    If not, we could meet at mine, but it's quite a ride from the Metrorail.
  • mike_lewis
    Change of situation on my end - late August is out. But anything from the beginning of June through the first half of August is fine.
  • Caitlin
    Sounds good to me!

    And hi, Mike!
  • Andrea
    So June through August look good????
  • I really wanna come this time, especially not having been to DC yet and having lived in NY for 2 years now...but I can't make it until around summer...even then I might not make it as I am finishing my thesis film, but if you have it in the summer I will definitely try! Yeah! Sooo exciting :)
  • mike_lewis
    Anything late August timeframe would be absolutely perfect for me, since I'll be up in the area anyways; but I suppose I can make two trips ;-)
  • Caitlin
    Definitely for me.
    You seem to meet a lot of famous people...
  • Andrea
    Hi. Paul, my husband, and I had dinner the other night : o ) Saw somebody internationally famous too! Well, sort of : )p

    He suggested this summer might be easier for everyone?
  • Caitlin
    For me, it'd be easier if it were after school ends--we're out early May. But if you want to do it before, I'm available for everything but late April...
  • Caitlin
    Cynthia! I'll be around more, I swear!
    And oh do I feel spiffy now...
    Hey, I'll take Shanghai over State College any day. Swop?
  • aradhana
    I'm down.

    I'm in NY but I've been looking for an excuse to take a long weekend.
  • Andrea
    I'm up for it. Paul, we could plan it together.

    For all of ya: Paul was one of the planners last year : )

    Now, what's a good date?
  • Paulus
    We could do it at my house. It is definantly metro accessible.
    Paul
  • Andrea
    This was posted on FB but maybe it was too formal. Dunno. It got no responses.

    Hey T.C.K.'s,
    This is an exclusive invitation to TCKs in the Washington, D.C. area!

    Summer 2007, thirteen of us met downtown at Clyde's of Gallery Place in Chinatown. It was a BLAST. We made many life-long connections and friends. I met Caitlin (She's the best!).

    Sitting around a table, we discussed cultural differences, education, careers, relocation; all topics so uniquely relevant to our situation. All of us were in different phases of life (some living with parents, some in transition, grad school, in careers, married, etc...). I cherished the (valuable) insight others had to share.

    It had been seven years or so since I had been around other "kids" like you all, so the event really opened my eyes to what others are experiencing.

    So, please... mark your calendars for March 2008. Please post any thoughts here.

    Thank you!
  • Andrea
    Who is Bunny? I'm "Bunny" on wheresgeorge.com (since 2001)lol.
    Anyway...

    About Lynn's circle idea... I guess my house might work. We moved and have a basement now. It's in Mount Vernon, which is in D.C. but on the VA side.

    The downside is that it's not greatly Metro accessible. It is, but you gotta take a 25 minute bus ride.

    Ideas, ideas anyone?
  • Cynthia
    Not to mean to hijack this post but BUNNY!!! Haven't seen you in a while...and yes you are great and famous :D

    I wish I am in DC :( If I was still in CT it wouldn't have been a problem...
  • Caitlin
    I'm great and famous? Spiffy..
    I'd love to do a DC meet again, we could organise it again?
  • warona
    i wish...
  • Sonia
    Meeting you would be great....I live in Bowie, so I'm not too far away from DC.
  • Lynn
    Hi Andrea!

    I got an email from Brice that a DCTCKID wants to meet. We should do another meet! Maybe this time we should not do a restaurant but sit in a circle kinda thing you know? To get the discussion going? And have some discussion topics prepared? Haha sounds like summer camp. I just thought last time everyone was shy and it took the whole lunchtime to break the ice. That way we can include more people too. What do you think?
