DC/MD/VA Area People: Show Yourselves!!!

[Ashley]

I'm moving to the DC Metro area this week, and I have to know where all the DC dimmers are!

Make yourselves known!

[Carrie]

ME! (you already knew that, but still. :p)

[Ashley]

I did know that, but you're the coolest, so post away!

[Carrie]

Once you're settled in, let's organize a trip to a fun pool hall, okay, Ash? I suck, but it's fun, so who the hell cares.

[Ashley]

Yes!! I suck, too. Really, really badly. But I still love it!

[Carrie]

Wheee! Let's do it, then, and look like asses - but asses together. :D

[wabullets]

Also in the DC area............but no where near as cool as Carrie! :)
(though might be a better pool player) lol

[Carrie]

Hey, cool, Chip is in!

As for the other hundred something timid people who've viewed this thread and not commented, all I can say is stop lurking and say hi! We don't bite, I swear. Well, Ashley does, but she's had her shots, so it's all good.



(I'll bring a spray bottle, too, in case the leg humping gets out of hand.)

[supersoup]

(I'll bring a spray bottle, too, in case the leg humping gets out of hand.)

DON'T YOU DARE!!!!!!

it took me all weekend to teach her that trick!!!

:D



when i get my car, i'm coming to bother the two of you.

<333

[Carrie]

when i get my car, i'm coming to bother the two of you.

<333
YAY!!! You'd better.

[butch]

Yeah, ya'll knew this, but hey, I'll say it-MD born, DC residing person here. Welcome to the neighborhood, Ashley.

[Carrie]

Yeah, ya'll knew this, but hey, I'll say it-MD born, DC residing person here, and I would be happier than words can express to while away an afternoon with Carrie and Ashley playing pool.
Sounds good, butch, we'll count you in. :)












Heehee. :D

[butch]

Sounds good, butch, we'll count you in. :)












Heehee. :D

Its like you can read my mind, Carrie. Count me in. :)

[Teresa]

Virginia girl here. :)

I live about 4 hours south of DC near Lynchburg, so it still feels like I'm far away from everyone, but I wanted to at least say HI! :D

Teresa

Teresa

Ok, I lived in Lynchburg for 3 years! And I just moved here a week ago! We could have been neighbors...

[TCUBOB]

Heck, go ahead and throw me under the bus. I'm in Alexandria, and while Carrie lives out in the friggin' sticks, the rest of us (save Teresa) are pretty close. And there is also Clash City Rocker, if he's around somewhere....

How's the new jobboru going? I've been flying under the radar, but I did mean to ask.....

[Carrie]

Heck, go ahead and throw me under the bus. I'm in Alexandria, and while Carrie lives out in the friggin' sticks, the rest of us (save Teresa) are pretty close. And there is also Clash City Rocker, if he's around somewhere....
HEY. I said I was willing to drive to civilization to see you dorks. :p

[TCUBOB]

All talk and no walk....put your money where your cute li'l mouth is.....:)

[Jes]

was that strains of dueling banjos that i just heard?

[TCUBOB]

<pickin' and grinnin'>

[ClashCityRocker]

ClashCity checking in. VA, about 15-20 from DC. so, for all intents and purposes, i'll say DC cuz VA has nothing to offer the world. but yes, pool?

[butch]

was that strains of dueling banjos that i just heard?

ha ha, there actually was a guy outside my metro stop last week playing a banjo.

Anyhoo, so when are we going to set a date for a DC Dims meet-up? A Fat Fall Fest in the Nation's Capital? Or maybe a seafood buffett along the waterfront in MD? Or pool in Adams Morgan? Let's throw out some dates, ya'll.

[TCUBOB]

Well, it's getting a little chilly for the pool, but what about the second weekend in Nov? Or the last weekend in October? I think we should all get together and force some bar to play my DVD of Hot Fuzz (I'm just saying this to get Carrie's attention....but it IS a kickass movie).

We could look like major dorks and Segway tour DC

We could crack crabs in Annapolis.

We could experience culture or nature or history. Hmm, the Nat'l Gallery has their Edward Hopper exhibit....

dude i'd like to go on record as saying FUCK SEGWAY TOURS. im the guy that darts in between them like im in a hurry...im NEVER in a hurry. but a museum would be a good idea...im definitely down. oh check it out...who's down for a hot dog eating contest on the mall? im talkin picnic-style all-out hot dog WAR! i just really like having the mall there...i dont take it for granted...it's a great place to just stroll and relax. im up for anything, though...cept those God-forsaken segways.

*DISCLAIMER* if we're walking and i hide behind you all of a sudden, it's not cuz im hiding from the cop. it's cuz im hiding from the horse he's riding on. they terrify me.

[TCUBOB]

Ahhhh.....hot dogs. But if we do them, we do them RIGHT at Ben's Chili Bowl.

[Al Diggy]

I'm moving to the DC Metro area this week, and I have to know where all the DC dimmers are!

Make yourselves known!

I'm 15 minutes b4 Richmond in VA...about 90 minutes from DC...but, i just can't get the NY outta me!!:D

[Jes]

I'm very much still hoping that we can all get together on a weekend (or weekend day) in Baltimore in the spring. I've never been, though I see it from the train and I love one of its native sons, and there seem to be a lot of you in that area. Please don't make me sit in a hotel room alone. That would stink. I'd be so sad.

If anyone has some hotel ideas (and it'd be nice if they were in the city, just in terms of hopping a cab or bus or whatnot to actually SEE some sites) that'd be good. People usually want a pool. I'm assuming that those of us training it will be able to get a ride from someone (a pick up, I mean). That's what i'm counting on at least.

If I end up coming to the city and sight seeing on my own, that's ok too. We can all have a meal, maybe some pool time and a pillowfight with drinkies and skivvies and all around bad behavior.

I know I'm stealing the thread, so I'll ask people to email me if they know of area hotels.
Jericas2001@yahoo.com

[gregjigga5]

Checking in from Novaburbia. Reside in Arlington, work in Alexandria (until further notice).

[incync]

Hey all,
Checking in here from the MD burbs. Germantown here. I love to play pool!

[stillblessed23]

OOH i was waiting to see a thread from MD/DC ppl checking in from B-More and a Dims event in DC would be so awesome.

[prettysteve]

Hello ! D.C. is in the House! What's up!! Can I get a shout out for my hood called
Anacostia , SE Washington.;)

[This1Yankee]

Anyhoo, so when are we going to set a date for a DC Dims meet-up? A Fat Fall Fest in the Nation's Capital? Or maybe a seafood buffett along the waterfront in MD? Or pool in Adams Morgan? Let's throw out some dates, ya'll.


I could make it, possibly, if you'd have me

:wubu:

[butch]

I could make it, possibly, if you'd have me

:wubu:

We'd so have you, so come on up. Maybe that'll sweeten the deal and get some other folks to pony up some possible dates/activities. I think what we need is our own DC/Richmond/Baltimore version of Lipmixgirl to get this party started.

[This1Yankee]

I'm going to be strolling though DC this Wednesday and then again on Sunday. Not that it's such a great hike to the great unknown or anything, but since I'm already going to BE there.... *ahem*....

[butch]

I'm available Sunday. Maybe a lunch time thing?

[liz (di-va)]

I'm nowhere near enough for a get-together, but just wanted to wave hi as a PG County gal (formative years....2-14). Whatwhat!

This time of year makes me think about lil Gifford's ice cream cakes.

[Ashley]

I'm in PG.

Now what are these ice cream cakes of which you speak?

[This1Yankee]

I'm available Sunday. Maybe a lunch time thing?


I can do a late lunch time thing Sunday... say, around 2pm?

Anyone else? Takers? Ashley??

[butch]

2 works for me. wonder if Carrie is in the area that day, or coming back from being away for Thanksgiving? If she is home on Sunday, maybe we could entice her to drive over for lunch.

[This1Yankee]

Do it. Go get her.

[xenadrine]

caught this thread a little late, but in also in the baltimore area.

[Jes]

if you people don't get your poop in a group and plan something, hard and fast, why I...I...well goddamnit, get it together already, people. P of A!

[Russell Williams]

I live about 75 miles away from DC. I will probably go to the DC chapter dance to be held (I think) Sept 7 in the Rockville area.

Russell

[HDANGEL15]

loud and live in BALWLMER MD.....log home dweller in REISTERSTOWNm avid harley rider and into LIVE MUSIC at 8 x 10, Rams Head Live, Recher, 9:30 Club to name a few :)

[TCUBOB]

I vote we put Jes in charge. Let's face it, we have the organizational skills of snot.

[Jes]

right?

it was like watching someone try to nail jello to a tree.

[TCUBOB]

Totally. Collectively, we appear to not have the good sense that God gave gravy.

[This1Yankee]

Baltimore!

[Jes]

i'll be there in the spring and you lovely bitches and ho's should save your nickels and rent a hotel room for 1 night and come see me.

[JMCGB]

Figured I better say hello. Annapolis area for me!

[TCUBOB]

I'm sorry, but I'm now overcome with the Larry King urge.....


<gravelly voice> Hagerstown, hello!

[liz (di-va)]

I'm in PG.
Now what are these ice cream cakes of which you speak?

oooh yah? I don't think I knew that's where ye moved to (exactly). Orange line!

I don't know if they *still* make them, but they were a Gifford's trad when I was a kid. Little molded ice cream cakes...yum :). Somehow much yummier than a big cake, because you got your own (you know?)

Figured I better say hello. Annapolis area for me!

And I didn't know you were from there...interestin! I know that area pretty well too, since me dad went to the academy. It must be an interesting place to live right now, eh? I mean, like...this week.

Guess it's obvious I miss the MidAtlantic area a bit. Balmir too, although I visit there more often. Anyhow, love from Chi--

[Ashley]

I'm on the Green line, actually. But still PG!
And I MUST find out if these personal ice cream cakes are still made.

[TCUBOB]

I think that there is now a Carvel store down in Arlington.....their ICC is quite delightful.


And that's Ice Cream Cakes, not Inter-County Connector, silly MDers......

[SmplyStriving]

New to dimensions, and stay in alexandria, va...looking forward to making new friends, and participating in whatever events yall have going on:)

[jessi29]

New to dimensions, and stay in alexandria, va...looking forward to making new friends, and participating in whatever events yall have going on:)
Ditto:). Oh and there is a Carvel like not even 5 minutes from my house:eat2:

[braindeadhead]

I live in DC too. How exciting for me.

I just wish I had seen this thread sooner.

[soulajazz]

I'm in Maryland, about 30 mins. from DC. Nice to see everyone!

[yorrick brown]

I'm in northern WV now, but moving to fairfax in 2 weeks. cant wait to meet up!

[Say Hello to the Angels]

oh hey guys.

I live in VA.

[Ian]

Hello everyone. Virginia Beach, VA here. :)

[inari]

Hello Dimenions World,

Im a newbie here . Im a 38 year old female living in Virginia. I came across Dimenions while surfing the net for plus size clothing . I havent had time to post a complete profile as if yet but if anyone is interested in knowing more about Inari from Virginia drop me and email at complexed_lady@yahoo.com. Im now going to try and read some of the post and and articles to see what Dimensions is all about.

Hope to make some new friends here!
Inari

[Ian]

Welcome Inari. I'm new here myself and was so happy to find this place. What part of VA are you from?
I hope that you are able to post more and look forward to reading posts from you.
Take care. :)

[desi7482]

I am a little late catching this thread, but, I am from Baltimore

[CuteFatChick]

From DC. About three hours. In Central VA. If y'all do a meetup thingy, I am willing to drive on up.

[butch]

We have 4 pages of people from the area, and no meet up yet? Is that crazy or what?

OK, I'm going to push us all a little bit outside our comfort zone-

if you really want to meet up, then post here a weekend you're available and a location you'd be willing to travel to in the DC/MD/VA area, and we'll see if we can figure something out TOGETHER. I won't be spearheading anything, people, so if you want a meet up, you have to commit to actually helping to pick the where and the when, ok?

Weekend-

3/8-9
or
3/29-30 work for me.

Location-

Well, DC does seem the logical middle point for DC/MD/VA, but maybe an inner suburb of DC is easier? Maybe somewhere like Silver Spring or Arlington?


OK, your turn, if you want a meet-up.

[TCUBOB]

Avail 3/8-3/9, 3/15-3/16

Since I'm in NOVA, DC or "collar cities" work for me. There is the meat-straveganza (sic) of the Malibu Grill in Alexandria, which is similar to Fogo de Chao. All you can meat for $20.

I also like Ben's Chili Bowl.

[inari]

Hi Ian..Im in south central Va..its so nice to met ya:)

[BigBeautifulMe]

Hmm - if you count in people from the Western part of VA though, Richmond is more central. Not that I'm biased. ;) :D

I'm kidding. I'll meet y'all wherever, any weekend you want, except the weekend of March 22, or the weekend of March 29.

[Mitchapalooza]

i live in Wilmington Now but i used to live in Silverspring/DC and lynchburg I know what a combo huh! Do any of you ever go to Adams morgan to hang out? does any anyone know where 4 corners is off of 29 right as you come off of 495, the 4 corners pub is the greatest pub in the world I used to live off of lorain right behind it (So I never had to worry about a DUI !!!)

[Still Waters]

with frequent events around the area.

[Say Hello to the Angels]

Oh wow, I had no clue there were so many of us.

I'm throwing a poetry night at my apartment on Sat, March 15 in Harrisonburg, VA. We have enjoy wine and cheese and stuff. It's in the evening, so you'd have to crash on the futon unless you wanted to get a hotel or drive back.

Just kidding, I'd let you have the bed.

[matt82]

i'm in richmond va

[Ashley]

Okay people, this is ridiculous!

How about this:

My roommate and I are making plans to attend Earth Day on the Mall on this coming Sunday, April 20th. If you don't mind crowds and want to meet up at some point, reply here or PM me.

Here's the link:

[grnvt]

Virginia girl here. :)

I live about 4 hours south of DC near Lynchburg, so it still feels like I'm far away from everyone, but I wanted to at least say HI! :D

Teresa
Hi all.

I just moved to the Roanoke,VA area and seems like I am far away from everyone too. Looking for new friends in this area. Drop me a line

[TCUBOB]

How did Water Day work out, Ashley? :rolleyes:

I suggest a great American sporting event! What about a Saturday baseball game? You can bring your own food to the park (picnic in the seats!), you're out in the fresh air, and let's face it, it's baseball. You really only have to pay attention for 3 out of every 10 or 15 seconds anyway, or not at all if you don't want to.

I have several friends in the ticket office who can ensure we get good seats all together.......

[BrownEyedChica]

Hey guys..
I'm currently here in Texas... but I am soooo looking into moving. Sooo..being said that, I'm thinking about moving to Richmond, Virginia within the next week! I've lived all my life here in Houston, and I love it. But I feel I need to leave to try different places/airs I guess.. and independantize (sp)? myself. I'm scared but excited at the same time. Though, I'm wondering if thats the right choice. I'm scared of not being able to find a job in Virginia, atleast a good job. Right now, Houston has a lot of job openings and opportunities and its being rated as one of the best cities to live at the moment... but I still wanna leave!
I'm also scared that I will maybe suffer more discrimination? Being that I live in a big city now where theres lots of big people, I dont feel I suffer discrimination at all here.. but I dont know how it will be up there.
I guess I should just do it, stop worrying, and hope for the best!

[BigBeautifulMe]

I'm from Richmond, BEC, and if it helps any, I'm employed. lol. :D I love Richmond - but I'm biased, because I was raised here.

[BrownEyedChica]

Thats great! is there a lot of trees there? LOL. How is the cost of living there???

[BigBeautifulMe]

Definitely lower than New York and Massachusetts, but I can't help in comparison to Texas. lol. Probably less, since it's smaller than Houston.

[BrownEyedChica]

Well, who knows. But thanks for the info!!

[CurvaceousBBWLover]

waves. I'm from Baltimore. Did you guys ever have that meet up?

[xenadrine]

just thought id chime in, since ive been relatively quiet and all on the forums...but im around the baltimore/annapolis area....

and richmond area is around the median in affordability, but cheaper than houston :)

[jason_c]

representing nova suburbs. dear god.

[Never2fat4me]

Another NOVA suburbanite here...

[Carrie]

waves. I'm from Baltimore. Did you guys ever have that meet up?
We didn't. We're a notoriously disorganized bunch, it would seem (heh!).

Hi, neighbors.

[butch]

Is there something unique to the DC/MD/VA area that makes us this way? Its not like we're all members of congress, ha ha, or too busy with the presidential campaign to have a meet up?

[TCUBOB]

I believe that our organization is too diffuse. We need someone in charge!


I nominate Ashley!

[Ashley]

I nominate Ashley!

Sweet! Everyone come to my house for a summer cleaning day! I hope you all do windows.

This has gotten pretty silly, hasn't it?

I'm about to finish classes for the summer. I'll be hitting this thread up for ideas. So start thinking, people!

[butch]

I nominate September. August is no month for fat folks.*

* "No Month for Fat Folks," the sequel to "No Country for Old Men." I'm glad I make myself laugh, because otherwise I hear the crickets chirping, people! Not even a sympathy laugh, hmmm. ;)

[TCUBOB]

Ditto on Butch's comments on August. And yes, I do windows....and dishes and laundry.....but I don't do kitchens and bathrooms.

[Ashley]

September is a fantastic idea. So, ideas, anyone?

And Bob, you'll be changing light bulbs. I don't have a step stool.

[JMCGB]

Haha, nice try Ashley. Actually windows aren't that bad, just depends on how many you have, lol.

[Ashley]

Haha, nice try Ashley. Actually windows aren't that bad, just depends on how many you have, lol.

So Jake volunteers for window duty. Excellent!

Who likes to shampoo carpets? What about bathing my dog? Might as well make this as productive as possible...

[stillblessed23]

I can get down with dog bathing ashley just depends how big he or she is lol. I def think we should organize some kind of mid-atlantic event woot woot party planning is my specialty. Well at least I hope so I've been going to college for public realtions since forever lol.

-Michelle

[ClashCityRocker]

i'm Clash and i declare that we have an OFFICIAL DC MEETUP IN SEPTEMBER. my sn is AARON dAMN IT, my email is pace1ner@yahoo.com and im ClashCityRocker so PM me if you have suggestions for spots IN DC(i figure that's as central as it's gonna get) and specific dates and i'm sure we can come up with a compromise that we can all agree to flake on and then show up the following day.

DC STAND UP.

[SweetBBWStriving]

I had forgotten all about joining this site, but I would definitely like to become more active and join yall in any events you end up planning:happy:

[ShellyBelly12]

Hi! :)

I see that it has been a couple of weeks since anyone posted on this topic, but I just wanted to post and say hi. I just joined the board, so this is my first post.

I am one of the few native Northern Virginian's around...I am in Burke right now.

I guess that's all I have to say!! :D

~Shelly

[Ashley]

Okay people. Let's get this show on the road. We have the following weekend options. If you have a date preference, post about it here!

September 20 or 21
September 27 or 28
October 4 or 5 (I know at least 2 of us in the area will be attending the NJ Bash this weekend, so this one is probably out.)
October 11 or 12
October 18 or 19

We also need suggestions for places to go and fun things to do. It's probably easier and more central for everyone if we go for places IN DC that are Metro accessible.

So what should it be? Lunch somewhere and then goofing off at a bar? Watching me badly play pool? Fattie drum circle on the Mall?

(Act now before I blow out of the area and you're left with one less person to help you all be unorganized! ;))

[TCUBOB]

I vote last weekend in September with a start at Ben's Chili Bowl. Then move to a bar with pool and college football? Or just college football?

Or we could go give Ashley's dog a bath.

[supersoup]

i vote the last weekend in september. moderate fatty takeover of the national mall just for the weather and photo ops. dinner at a place with a nice relaxed atmosphere, and cocktails at a bar with easy access to safe rides home for everyone.

yes, i live in ohio and i voted anyways.

:D

[TCUBOB]

Old Ebbitt is kinda nice yet casual, with a huge bar. We'd need a solid head count for reservations.....and it's close to the WH and about three blocks from the Mall and close to the Metro.....

Or I could not say any of the above and leave it in the capable hands of people are far better planners than I. I'm not ashamed of being an Indian instead of a chief. But if called on, I'll help.

You can come down and join us!

[supersoup]

You can come down and join us!

SOLD.

will do.

[BigBeautifulMe]

I want to come, but for the next few weeks I'll only be able to handle it if there's not more than, say, 3 blocks worth of walking for any one phase of getting around. Also, I'm sure Bob has already thought of this, but we need to make sure anywhere we go is SSBBW-friendly (armless chairs [barstools don't count. lol], preferably not hard wooden ones).

I understand if the majority wants to do something that doesn't fall within these guidelines, but I would like to attend if possible. :)

[Ashley]

Bob, are you sure that a dozen fat asses are going to be able to get seats at Ben's on a Saturday afternoon?

[supersoup]

i veto that tiny place. i'm claustrophobic. i mean, i'm all about feeling up on fat asses, but DANG.

[butch]

If Soup and BBMe will be in town, then this needs to happen!

As far as places to dine/drink, maybe Chinatown? There are so many places to choose from right on the block of the metro stop. I'd vote for Fado, but I can't remember what their chairs are like. Some Shepherd's Pie and a pint of Murphy's Irish Stout, what more do we need?

[TCUBOB]

Old Ebbitt can probably handle fatties in their atrium seating.....Ben's on a Sat. afternoon may not be that bad.....Fado's seating I can't remember......and Metro/taxis are plentiful, those less affordable depending on your POV.


Damn you, Senator Carl Levin!!!!! Damn you and your moronic Michiganders who couldn't figure out the zone system!!!!!

(also, while walking is wonderful, Bob doesn't want to re-enact the Bataan Death March either, and knows that different distances for different folks equal that)

The seating is the tough one, though. Ben's works, if it's not crowded. Ebbitt works, I think. But if we get an idea of when/where/how many we can move from there.

Oh! Hey! What about going on the DC Ducks tour? I've been here 11 years and never done that!

[supersoup]

changing my vote to october 18/19.

having a job that wants you there blows. :rolleyes:

I WANT TO HANG WITH Y'ALL.

[grnvt]

I vote for the last weekend in sept!!!

Anything but October 4-5 works for me (at this point at least - as Soup suggests, jobs don't always cooperate).

[GuitarHeroFA]

Hey I just got a job in the northern Virginia area and will be moving to the fairfax, arlington area...seems like a really cool place, hope it is!
:)
-Brad

[Ashley]

I'm in negotiations to bring a visitor to this shindig if we do it in mid-October. I figure if I can't get you guys to come out and hang with me, you might be enticed by a secret guest...

Also, yay for new people who want to come out and play!

I would totally come to just hang with you Ashley. That is plenty worth it to me!! :)

I'm totally psyched for this - I really hope we can find somewhere good to meet up. :)

[TCUBOB]

Ooooo.....can I be the first to say "Will the mystery guest please sign in?"

[NoWayOut]

Okay people. Let's get this show on the road. We have the following weekend options. If you have a date preference, post about it here!

September 20 or 21
September 27 or 28
October 4 or 5 (I know at least 2 of us in the area will be attending the NJ Bash this weekend, so this one is probably out.)
October 11 or 12
October 18 or 19

We also need suggestions for places to go and fun things to do. It's probably easier and more central for everyone if we go for places IN DC that are Metro accessible.

So what should it be? Lunch somewhere and then goofing off at a bar? Watching me badly play pool? Fattie drum circle on the Mall?

(Act now before I blow out of the area and you're left with one less person to help you all be unorganized! ;))

I wish I was going to be in Virginia before November.

The mystery guest will remain a mystery!

This is going to be fun.

[TCUBOB]

Well, much like the Scooby gang, I love a good mystery. So I'm in for the Ashley date.

Well, due to some extenuating circumstances, I had to move, and I'm not in the DC area anymore. Sorry guys!

[BigBeautifulMe]

Look, I know absolutely nothing about DC so I can't plan anything there, but if anyone wants to have a meetup in Richmond I will TOTALLY plan that!

I am down for a meet up in Richmond!! Much closer for me. Just let me know if you need help planning it.

[BigBeautifulMe]

Is anyone else interested? A meetup requires more than two people. lol :D
