@GnomeQueen - I have requested that Friday off, and debating on requesting that Thursday off, too. My vacation time is limited. We could leave Thursday afternoon (and can take turns sleeping and driving), or leave very early Friday. Otherwise if people driving really want to leave Thursday morning, I suppose I could ask for that day off. I also need to talk with Thomas (@nerdtastic) again. He's concerned because his classes will be 2 weeks in. Jackie, your car isn't much worse on gas mileage as mine, but it would be so much more comfortable to drive if we have more than 2-3 people carpooling.
Aaron is not going, so it looks like I'm going to fly.

No one is planning on leaving Sunday, correct? You really don't want to have to leave early from Preacher's BBQ. We'll make you take a cab to the airport.

For those planning to fly I will check my schedule (wife is coming back from Bosnia 28 Aug) and she should be down here visiting me in DC Labor Day weekend, so she may join for a day or two. As far as Monday goes, I will more than likely be heading to the airport anyhow for the wife. It's a day off (Monday) so more than 1 trip to the airport isn't an issue (15mins away from the house). If you're leaving Sunday let me know and I'll try to work something out too. If a few of you have close flight times I'd like to take you as a whole, but if not I can try to accommodate as best as possible just let me know if you'd be interested in a ride (beats the metro and/or bus =D)
Hopefully traffic won't be a 8itch for those driving in/out. It's always a crap shoot every year, so let's hope this is a quiet year
@WagsFTW I was, but since Aaron isn't going I can stay longer. If I go the Sunday before, I don't need to take as much time off work since I can work from Anne & Eli's place. I'd like to maximize my time there since this is the only time I get to visit them.

@jboogaloo - Let's get some drinks pre-Renn. PM me and let me know when you're free. I also live 4 miles from DCA.
To clear any confusion, this is me saying "100% in" and that I'll be down Friday night. I might have to leave (of my own volition/car) on Sunday, but that's up in the air.

Want to, don't think I can swing the time off. Will shoot for it next year!

Oh, for those that are coming in (or locals who haven't been) I'll be heading up to Piratez Tavern in Silver Spring (probably Friday evening) to enjoy some grog, good people and decent food. For those that may not be aware, this isn't a hokey themed restaurant, there is a good mix of people here, mostly those that are serious cosplayers, rennfest participants/lovers, gamers, fairly intelligent people with substance, etc...essentially us types. If you care to join I'd be more than happy to bring some along and enjoy a round or 2 or 7 with ya and maybe meet more that we'll run into at the fest.
@Lincoln, Okay. @Gargoyle, join us! Meet me in GR or meet us in Ann Arbor or something to carpool there!! Would be a blast!

@Jboogaloo Most people flying into DCA won't need rides. DCA is 2 metro stops away from our office and people usually just hop the train there and meet us at work. Thank you for all the offers, though!

I probably will not be able to make this, but I'm definitely coming next year. I have too many costumes and accents to not be a part of the Renn faire.
