I will be stopping at D&B tommorrow to confirm the dates, I am confirming for 10 people but that should get us enough room if more show up. I hope to see you all.. 
EDIT: Planning for the 18th of February, (Saturday) at the D&B at Arundel Mills Mall near Baltimore MD. I can post directions if anyone needs it.

Just got off the phone with D&B, we are good for Saturday folks, the combo is $18.75 a head as an FYI, and it is a walk-in status but they have a table held waiting on us for the 18th. How's 6PM for everyone. (I suggest planning 20 minutes extra time to park, as parking at the mall is very very painful at the moment, there is a valet service if you care to use it ($3.00). Please wear some sort of name tag, a CoH shirt, or some other identifying feature... 
You won't be able to miss us, I promise...
I have the following people as attending
Elvnsword09 (will be wearing a City of Heroes Shirt)
Electric-Knight
LBHouse
ObsidianLight (Will be wearing a City of Villains **** (red with White Lettering))
Archangel Mychael +2 (Will be wearing a Players Summit 2011 shirt)
Guest

Battlestar
Mauk2

This puts us at 15... 5 to go for the private party room
Out of you guys who is bringing kids, wives, etcetrea it effects where they seat us. If we hit over 20 we all get a discount too if I can get the numbers a week ahead of time.
I got the time off from work, and it seems to all be coming together!
I am going to hit all the boards with this.

I will be there!
Edit: I *might* be bringing my girlfriend. She enjoyed the last one even though she doesn't play CoH. I'll let you know if that's the case.
I'll also go ahead and post a reminder on the LJ community and ask folks to come confirm in this thread if they are attending.

I'll be there. Damned if I know what I'll be wearing clothes wise, but I'll don the blinking Awesome button. But also I'll be showing up with Quasadu who is very tall.

File me for a sure, I'll try to get there. Honestly, never met people from online before, so I'm a bit skittish about going, but CoH is full of nice people, I need to meet more people, and this is so insanely close to where I live it would be impossible not to go. If I go, I'll probably have a black T-shirt with a blue Superman "S" and holding a German/Bavarian Alps-esque hat (not wearing, a true gentleman never wears hats indoors).

You'll be having far too much fun to give a rat's *** about the fact they're from the internet.
Hmmmmm....I'm thinking I'm going to have to arrange a drunken task force (scavenger hunt)....Well, you don't gotta be drunk, but it's a lot more fun if you're toasted. :-D
Liberties may have to carry me out by the end of the night, LOL.

I have to run this by the better half, but I should be there. I'll be wearing my name tag from the last D&B get-together, if I can still find it.

ok,
Posted an announcement to each of the server pages with a link back to here, and to the facebook group I created for this, and I messaged Zwill and let him know what we the fans are doing in they're East Coast absence, in hopes they will at least bring some attention to the meeting for us in the next couple weeks and make it the best possible Meet and Greet it can be.

Ah while I as writing that Zwill posted... ::laughs:: We wish you could come to Zwill!

I would love to meet up with you. I moved to Maryland from Miami last autumn, so I don't know my way around all that well yet, but according to Google Maps I'm only 45 minutes away. I should be able to find my way to a mall big enough to have a D&B. (Of course, I couldn't find my way around Miami after living there for forty years. Yeah, I'm rather navigationally challenged.)
So add me to the list, and barring something odd intervening (like finding work), I'll be there with bells on.*
PS: Thanks for putting your red name in this thread, Zwill, or else I'd not have seen it, since most of my forum time is spent in the test areas.
*Actual bells not guaranteed, and are in fact fairly unlikely.

Doesn't that title under your screen name read "Community Manager" ?
Aren't we the Community? Well part of it at any rate.
Doesn't the Community need to be managed?
Sounds like a job expense to me.
P.S. I SHOULD be able to make it. Just need to clear it with work. Will check that schedule when I get into work Saturday.

WHAT?! You mean after all the effort I put in to make that tag you didn't keep it in a safe place?! |

J.k. :P
I missed the last two, but should be able to make this one.
Looking forward to it.
Tentatively for two.
Hey all, just had a thought I wanted to toss on the table for another M&G down the line: The Avengers Movie premier. We all get together in DC, or Virginia or whatever, see if we can get a group rate on the Tickets, and hit up a showing with all of us together. Thoughts on that?
weird thing is I have been to that Mall all 3 times I have been to the Baltimore/DC area but I live 2000+ miles away in Arizona
And, of course... I get an invite in the mail yesterday locking up February 18th...
If I can work my way out of this, I will, but it looks like I most likely will not make it.
Hmm... The Avengers proposition is intriguing... I'm generally a bit of a shut the hell up and let me fully immerse myself in this movie person though, so I'd hate to meet some of you by telling someone unlike that to shut the hell up...
Of course, 1) we may all want the same movie-going experience and/or 2) we may see it beforehand and then pull a Mystery Science CoHM&G.
I'll keep watch and chime in when I have nothing to say.

I'd love to get together for that, as I should still be in the area. We'll have to all talk out how we watch movies maybe see the Chronicle or something to see if we have the capability of all watching it together.|

I am going to go to the mall in the morning to plan out a scavenger hunt. It's gonna be things you can see from the halls of the mall itself, not in the stores, thinking 5 items.
We are also going to TRY and organize a door prize if finances allow.

Nuts, schedule conflict with my surgery. It would be interesting to talk to people about online roleplay and where they see themselves in the game.
