Message: <blockquote data-quote="Old One" data-source="post: 1575842" data-attributes="member: 83">Venue Update - 6/2Greetings Gang,Preliminary Update on Venues:1. DreamWizards (Rockville, MD):  I have a call in to Lauren (I think that is her name), the owner, about scheduling the space.  8/28 does not look good, according to the guy manning the phones, but there are dates later in the fall.2. University of Maryland (College Park):  Xath...any response from the Guild there?  Besides a "free" venue, such as DreamWizards above, this is the most economical large scale alternative.  If we get student co-sponsorship, we could probably pull this off for under $200.3. Northern Virginia Community College (Alexandria Campus):  The Annandale Campus is booked forever....and I do mean forever.  The Alexandria Campus does have availability on 8/28 (and 9/11 and 9/18), but their rates are a bit high.  Assuming we can get the non-profit rate...which might be iffy...we are looking at ~ $350 -$400 for 10 hours.  If we are deemed "for-profit" (I think I can talk my way around that), the prices would double.Other possibilities:Game Parlor and George Mason - While convenient to the N. Virginia folks, there are really a hike for those coming down from Baltimore and points north (not that I am afraid to drive...I commute to Old Town Alexandria from Northern Baltimore County 3-4 days a week...by car...yes...I am insane <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />!).More to follow...~ Old One</blockquote>
