HI! I would like to get a Peninsula / Hampton Roads meet up happening....
A shout out to Williamsburg, Newport News, Hampton, Gloucester, West Point, etc.... Any chance of a meet and greet at a central location? Sure would like to see who else is out there in my neck of the woods.

:hi:

1. Sounds good to me...
I'm available a lot in July. I'm on vacation the end of June but back by the 4th of July. I live in Williamsburg and work in Newport News. I'd be up for meeting just about anywhere. Preferably on the Peninsula but I could even be convinced to cross the water (if I have too ;-)

5. How 'bout Lanexa?
Edited on Wed Jul-05-06 04:20 AM by greyl
There's a great hidden Italian restaurant there on the Chickahominy (off of 60) where we could have one of two dining rooms reserved for ourselves.
Peking is a great buffet, but the view and 'privacy' are lacking. ;)
...and because it's New Kent County, the restaurant taxes are cheaper.

Wherever, I'd like to join.

6. that sounds great too
If you could give us directions and/or map. Only thing is that it would be a longer driving distance for those in NN.

I think this one is pepperbear's call.

My only request is for a non-smoking section. I'm asthmatic and I'd cough my head off around any smoke. (Use to smoke myself, 20 yrs. ago.) Sorry, guys.

7. It's all non-smoking, but
there are benches and chairs out back for a view of the river during any smoke breaks.
Directions and GoogleEarth file here at their website:
www.foxhuntergrill.com/direc.htm

*If it sounds like I'm selling this place, it's probably because I used to work there, the owner is now one of my clients, and I live about a mile away. ;)
Because of the location, we may be able to coax some folks from Richmond to join.
Wherever is fine with me. :)

i have never met a fellow DUer in person before. I'd be glad to finally be in a company that I agree with.

9. OH MY GOODNESS! I didn't realize there were so many responses!
I hadn't checked in a few days. Hey, the first two folks who posted didn't mind the peking. we could go on a weeknight perhaps and get that back room? I thought of expense + quality and variety. We were looking to do it sometime this month originally. I am PM'ING ALL MY E MAIL ADDRESS!

:hi: :hi: :hi: :hi:

15. I'm back from vacation and looking forward to a meet-up
I should get some Webb gear (stickers, yard signs, etc) to pass out.

It looks like we have people up AND down the Peninsula. I would say the 'Burg being so centrally located would be as good a place as any for the meet up.

16. So the Hampton Roads meet up will be.... outside of Hampton Roads?
Meaning not in one of the seven cities.
