Delaware, Maryland, PA Meetup?

:D I was just wondering if perhaps there were any forum members interested in having a meetup sometime before the summer ends.

I didn't see any threads for this part of the country so I figure I'd throw the idea out there. So if there is anyone in Delaware, Eastern Maryland or anything like that we could find a place in the middle and all get to say hi to each other! :D

So if you're interested or have ideas where we could possibly meet either PM me or just post something here :)

I hope we can do this!

I'm in PA! On DOA, there is a PA meetup thread. We hold meetups pretty much every month, located mostly in Hershey or Lancaster. Just in case anyone wanted to know. :)

But I'm all for meetups anywhere! I hope there are more east-coasters out there. Seems like most people on this forum live on the wrong side of the States! lol

Did you guys know there is a forum for BJD folks in New England? It's called N.E.R.D.s http://www.nerdolls.com/

I know about it because it's the sister site to the dairyland site, which I use for talk with dollieh folk from the midwest. :D

Lokiholic - When held in Lancaster it's at someone's house who lives right down from Mt. Hope Winery, where the Renn faire is held.
In Hershey, it's at the Hershey library in a meeting room.

AlmySidaKay - Ooo, I did not know that. I do know there's a BJD guild in Boston, but a nine-hour trip is a bit far to travel for a day. ^^;

OMG I'm In New Jersey. Please, more of you on the east coast need to surface! lol And holy crap I'm going to RennFaire next month on the 24-25th. Do any of you go into the Faire when you meetup? I would love to have a mini meet at the Faire.

And thanks for sharing the NERD site. I'm joining it now!

I live in Calvert County Maryland. I'm in a group that sometimes meets in Annapolis and sometimes in member's homes on Kent Island.

There is a group at Arrunel Mills Mall and another in DC. I think there is a group in Baltimore too.

Ahh so happy :333 So much information! SO MUCH.

A Renn Faire meetup so very promising! I love the Renn Faire!

The Hershey and Lancaster meetups sound promising, that's like a 2 hour drive from me but we go up there pretty often, plus my dad would drive me anywhere so long as I'm not in his hair! :D

I'm not in DoA so I can't see any of their meetup threads :\ I've been trying to get in since April but it's always only by invitation. Bleh.

As far as I know it's always been like that. lol I think I looked into DoA last year and it was invite only and I was like "Whaaat?" I've kinda given up trying to get in *shrug*

Early last year, when I was first tinkering with the idea of getting a BJD it was still open to anyone, I didn't want to join until I actually had a doll though :| Then I found Dollieh Sanctuary and was like "Nope, nevermind my heart has moved on"... or something dramatic like that :lol: But now I see that DoA has a lot of information other than just their size specific forums.

Oh well, that's why we've got this thread now! :D
