Hahahahahaha. I'll have a badger with you refugee! BTW, are you coming to North Carolina the weekend of April 11-13?
I'm staying at Duke Tower Condominiums with my folks. Its a quaint little condo hotel place. I usually sleep on the couch. I can see if there is another room available for that weekend if you want.
I am looking into it. I am supposed to visit a friend in DC and trying to convince her to come along; so it might be one night in DC, one night (Saturday) in NC. However, I am waiting to hear if she is interested. She was supposed to come out and meet you guys at the DC meet-up but had other social obligations (i.e., guests) that necessitated her heading home basically as I arrived at the bar - I caught her for a few minutes on the street. That would be ideal, I think.
Keep me posted. It would be amazing to meet up with you again.
