We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Yeah, as I walked away from my machine it dawned on me that you had mentioned it was the 2nd.

I could make an early post-BOZA dinner if that works...

Sorry you can't make it Marco but I pretty much have a car load of stuff anyway.
That would be nice Roscoe but It's pretty much a 5 hour trip one way for me, so I'm going to want to get out as soon as I can.
If you can get there for lunch, That would be great.

Is a lunch fixed and good to go now? Is it going to be Foster's Grille in Warrenton? And if so, what time?

I understand completely... Unfortunately, that's 45min each way for me, a bit much for my lunch break

I'm calling Dan now. It's been a hectic day.

The restaurant opens at 11 a.m., so that's the time. Give us time to "chew the fat", so to speak, and still give P.N. time to set up his equippage over at the Board of Supervisor's grand audience hall.
Marco, I suspect that, since this is a family restaurant and not too late at night, that you're really saying you just can't stand to be in a closed car with four kids for the forty-five minutes or so it'll take you to get there.

I should be able to attend. It'll be nice to see Dan again and finally meet Mr. Nap. He's quite the celebrity around here.

I'm planning on making it. I do have my quarterly pest inspection/treatment tomorrow morning so hopefully he'll arrive in the early part of his window so that I can join you folks.

No worries, I was just looking to go as support personnel.
Nah, my kids are well behaved and I enjoy doing things with them... I was looking forward to going to the meeting more than anything.
An OC luncheon wasn't an option when this first came up.
I don't think they would enjoy the boring BOS meeting and I don't think the folks at the BOS meeting would enjoy an infant (being an infant) at the meeting, especially from someone that doesn't live in the area, even if I support their position.
My kids don't really like going to the BOS meetings in town with me and that's only a 10min drive.

As you must have gathered by now, Fauquier and especially Warrenton are OC friendly. I've been here for four years now and never had an issue. Ironically, I think i get fewer "looks" in NOVA. I also don't consider this area NOVA as much as some of the transplants(I am one myself) want it to be. I grew up in NOVA and this ain't NOVA. So is it Fosters at 11? I would like to finally meet some of you, should attend the BOS meeting as well since I live here.

The NOVA lines snake around. Some even consider Shenandoah County where I was born, NOVA these days. That's kinda annoying.
Fauquier is an interesting place. It doesn't appear to have lost it's country luster....unfortunately, I'm afraid it's only a matter of time.
Well, I have the drowned terrorist bag packed, batteries charged, two cameras prepped, one on a shoulder rig and one on rails, sound equipment mostly ready, tripods, etc pretty much done.
Jane said I had to get a haircut and trim my beard so I passed up a Cuccinelli protest in Richmond to go see Benny the Butcher...(Barber). Then finish getting ready to go.
This was a very long day. 9 hours of driving and the highlight was the lunch with the OC'ers'
That was pretty enjoyable.
I stopped by Clarks. I thought it was bigger but they had some nice guns. I did buy a pocket knife.
The protest was a bust/ About 30 people, most women, singing, shouting and waving plastic and wooden pitchforks. The meeting room was small and no provisions to video from the front, so I went home after a few interviews.
Here are two frame grabs from the video. One normal and one ultra wide (170 degrees)

It was really nice meeting everyone today. Finally, I can put faces with the names.
As always, Dan was full of Sage Advice. I learned a lot from him today.
Southern Boy, since you are so close, we'll have to meet for lunch more often.
