who's going to the secret handshake pre-meetup?

I'll be there around 6:15 probably, maybe earlier, maybe later (probably earlier).

No need to be a member to attend, right? I might show up around 8. I have a class that ends at 7:50 at the NVCC Annandale campus a few minutes away. Since I've never been to a meeting before, or to the Mason District Governmental Center, is there anything I should know about parking or what building to go to once I'm there?

Nope. You don't need to be a member to attend. The Mason Gov't Center has parking behind the building, and the entrance is right there from the lot. Once you walk inside, the meeting room is to the right.

People chat, then VCDL President goes over current gun rights and other gun related news that relates to VA, members make funny comments/remarks, people chat, then we go get some food afterwards together. Lots 'o fun! :cool:

Fellowship starts at 7:30, and Philip usually calls the meeting to order right about 8. So you shouldn't miss much.

If you can afford the time, plan to attend fellowship afterward.

No need to be a member. We've even told antis they are free to attend if they want. They've never taken up the offer. They did picket outside once during the Bloomberg Gun Give-away, but they didn't actually attend the meeting (It was too packed for most of us anyway).

When some of our guys tried attending Million Mom March meetings, they got all pissy and shut down the meeting, even though our guys were just standing or sitting in the back of the room with closed mouths.

VCDL doesn't hide. Antis hide. See you there.

Didn't MMM lose their tax-exempt status over that since they began holding their meetings on private property and behind closed doors?

I think I can afford the time. VCDL site says "9:30 - ?:?? pm -- Informal Gathering at a Local Restaurant." Anybody know what restaurant?

I'll send you the restaurant location in a PM in a sec.

I don't know if Philip wants the location made public or not so this will have to do.

Ahahah. I drove by the Gov't Center after class tonight to make sure I could find it, and on my way there I saw the place mentioned in the PM and thought "... I bet that's the restaurant they're going to afterwards.."

And thanks for the PM :)

Hey all. Is this a family friendly meeting. We'd love to come but as most of you know we've got two little ones. Can we bring them along? Also, Nova can you PM me meetup locs.

Thanks
