All this talk about Boston is making me bummed out

[JohnKleeb]

Anyone wanna see some museums you've already been to a million times with me in DC sometime? I mean anyone, anyhow as much as I am bummed, have fun ya guys who go.

[LynzM]

1. Sorry dude

I hope you can make it to one eventually! :hug:

[JohnKleeb]

5. Ive met people at like protests and even had casual days

but nothing like what everyone is doing next month. Sigh.

[LynzM]

31. Is it time or money keeping you from coming up?

Just curious, you might be able to get some people to help you out, if it's the $$. The time, unfortunately, is hard to transfer.

[JohnKleeb]

32. School Lynz

I am in the most important strench of my senior year and I gotta do well.

[LynzM]

35. Oh, gotcha.

You couldn't come up on Friday night and head back down Sunday morning? If you took the train, would you be able to study while you were travelling? Or just too damn much to do? Sorry if I'm buggin' ya, just trying to help you brainstorm a way to be here!

[JohnKleeb]

36. Hey that could be possible

I doubt it though.

[LynzM]

37. Check this out....

If you're decent at sleeping wherever, sleep on the train, don't miss any classes (I know the formatting sucks, sorry) It's a little bit pricey, but probably cheaper and more convenient than flying, and you'd only need a hotel room for one night, or some DUers place to crash.

38. That sounds cool

Hmmm gotta to talk to the parents about this.

[LynzM]

39. you should!

www.amtrak.com It's pretty user-friendly, and there were MANY other time/price options besides the ones I posted for you. Talk to your parents about it, maybe as an early graduation present, or promise of repayment once you have a job? Heck, if you're adult enough to handle school in DC by yourself, you should be able to do this! :) (but I wouldn't phrase it quite like that, myself ;))

[JohnKleeb]

40. I only work in DC

I go to school in Virginia. I am gonna try though, hmmmm please god.

[Longgrain]

2. I hope I didn't bum you out myself...

Why not try to organize something for D.C. If you do it during the Summer, I'll def be there. I've actually never been to D.C.

[JohnKleeb]

4. I am 17 years old and the world's worst planner

I could never plan anything. I would like something done during the summer yes.

[Longgrain]

22. Maybe try and get someone else in the area to help you out...

I know for a fact there's a few other DUers out in your area, why not give them a nod...

[steve2470]

3. I'm bummed too

and I was just in DC.

[JohnKleeb]

6. Yeah its horrible there right now aint it

Today was relatively nice though.

[steve2470]

8. today was really nice in DC. I almost hated to leave.

There was soooo much we didn't do there, plus we knew no one in town.

[JohnKleeb]

13. Oh yeah? I wasnt in town today, I am tommorow though

[xmas74]

7. I plan on taking my daughter to DC in a few years

and down into Virginia. I loved it there and I hope to get back someday. I'll let you know then-I just want her to be able to appreciate it before I take her anywhere.

[JohnKleeb]

15. Oh yeah, where in Virginia?

I recommend Arlington and Falls Church.

[xmas74]

25. I have spent time in Arlington and Falls Church before.

I really enjoyed Charlottesvile and would like to see if it has changed too (been there about 5 times, DC 7 times and the infamous Boston 3 times).

[Left Is Write]

9. I'm bummed too.

[steve2470]

14. we'll have to do a meetup "out west"

:-)

[Left Is Write]

18. But you're pretty far east for that.

[steve2470]

28. well, people from DU plus a beautiful friend of yours

can work wonders for me every time !

:silly:

[jonnyblitz]

10. poor kleeb.

someday maybe. :P

[JohnKleeb]

11. That someday could be this summer

[jonnyblitz]

23. you just might like it too!

I like Boston.

[JohnKleeb]

26. Yeah well I hope someone boards me up

That would be nice, no fee.

[RevolutionaryActs]

12. BUT! Hopefully you'll get to take me on a tour of DC

:7

typo edit

[JohnKleeb]

17. Yeah thats possiblity

Tour? I guess I could do that.

[RevolutionaryActs]

20. I don't know.

Whatever. :P

[JohnKleeb]

24. Ha I hope you can make it

It would be nice.

[RevolutionaryActs]

27. Yes it would

:D

[JohnKleeb]

30. Well we gotta set up a meet up location on a subway station

Also I got a relatively new picture of me that I can scan as well.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

16. I have never been to DC, so all those museums

would be new to me. I'm too far away though. :(

[JohnKleeb]

19. Thats a shame

I actually havent been to the new WWII memorial myself.

[short bus president]

21. Dude, Boston can kiss my hairy tarhole.

Is anyone gonna go see the "This Old House" crew while they're there? No. They're not. So what's the effin' point, anyway? I'll stay in my nice comfortable don't-hafta-fly-to-it down-South easy chair and watch Norm and Tommy and Rich and Roger - it's all the Boston anyone ever needs.

[JohnKleeb]

29. ha

I wanna get out of the Old Dominion dude.

[sundog]

33. I'm not going anywhere either bro

forget about it...

DC is the bestest city anyway ;) I grew up there, so I'm partial :7

Go see a show at the 9:30 Club that weekend... what could be better than a day in Georgetown, then a show at night

:bounce:

[JohnKleeb]

34. Dude didnt know you were from there, thats cool

[JohnKleeb]

41. Oh fuck yeah I have a small chance now
