I'm going down to the D.C. Cherry Blossom festival this year and I'd be overjoyed if any of you could join me. Obviously the Smithsonian and other awesome D.C. stuff is still there in addition to the event itself, so it'd probably just be a wandering hang out.

I might be down, if rail tickets aren't too pricey.

Or you could just drive down to Newark (DE) Friday night and catch a ride with me that morning, we'll kidnap Lee on the way.

Still doing this. Lee, Method, what's the word guys? GM needs Takoyaki!

Can't. My friend is getting married that day :/

Be careful if y'all are crazy enough to drive downtown. The Cherry Blossom Festival is apparently DC's biggest source of parking ticket revenue for the whole year.

I intend to take the Metro in from the first commuter station I can find.

bainidhe_dub · « **Reply #13 on:** 28 Mar 2014, 07:13 »

Good plan. Probably Greenbelt if you come down 95 from Baltimore.

I've been to D.C. a few times now, I'm smarter then to try and take on D.C. traffic with anything less then a LAV

LeeC · « **Reply #15 on:** 09 Apr 2014, 12:00 »

so is this still a thing?

~~GarandMarine~~ · « **Reply #16 on:** 09 Apr 2014, 14:21 »

That was my general intent yes. I'm a little wiped out from last week though...

LeeC · « **Reply #17 on:** 10 Apr 2014, 09:17 »

Cool just post here so I know. Not sure if MM is still on. If its a wash, thats cool too.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #18 on:** 10 Apr 2014, 11:29 »

I would, but (points upthread a bit).

LeeC · « **Reply #19 on:** 10 Apr 2014, 12:26 »

Oh yeah I forgot about that. Ah well. If its a wash its a wash. There is always another time.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #20 on:** 10 Apr 2014, 12:30 »

Indeed there is!

LeeC · « **Reply #21 on:** 14 Apr 2014, 07:28 »

oh god it was a nightmare, thousands of tourists on the train platforms just standing around instead of moving forward!

~~GarandMarine~~ · « **Reply #22 on:** 14 Apr 2014, 09:47 »

Touristas. I didn't even begin to think about that...
