meet me at starbucks

I’m gonna be in DC next week. I know a bunch of you live in that area, and I’d love to meet up with as many of you as I can. But I’m only there a few days, and there’s just no way I could possibly get to everybody. So how about everybody comes to me?!

On Sunday afternoon (11/15), I’ll be chilling at a Starbucks in Alexandria, VA for a few hours, and I’m hoping you’ll come say hi. Because I’d love to hug you! And it would completely suck if nobody showed up!

Let me know if you’re planning to come, and we can swap phone numbers for just in case.

  9. Chrystie says:

    Um, it is a crime that we live so close to each other currently and have not met to share a warm cup of coffee and conversation. I think that should be resolved soon.

I would love to see you before you head back to sa next year. Will you be up north any where semi near me? I would drive too see you. Hope lots of friends can meat you.

  13. Melissa says:

    Hmmm…I got some amazing engineering friends. I’ll see if they can work on the teleporter.

    If not, if you’re ever in the other SD (South Dakota)…

  16. Rainer says:

    Sounds like if you planned a West coast tour you’d have lots of people to meet with. Count Portland as one of your stops if you ever do :)

    Aw! I would totally come and see you if I were going to be in the area! But alas, I’ll be at the Christmas Gift & Hobby Show in Indianapolis with my mom! Besides, I’ll bet you have plenty of visitors! :]

  21. Amy says:

    … you could meet me at the Dulles airport for my first red-cup of the season… THIS SATURDAY! Holy smokes.

    My mom will be in town this weekend, so I probably won’t stop by, BUT if we get a craving for *$’s around that time, we for sure will come to that one!

  27. TheNorEaster says:

    Not at all possible for me.

  28. Natalie Jane says:

    I looked at train tickets just in case. It’s only about a 4 hour train ride, but I won’t be able to swing it. Looks like a nice group might show up though. Hooray!

  29. Greg Poss says:

    Alece, Terri and I are looking forward to seeing you after church on Sunday.

  32. Bajanpoet says:

    Hey what about coming to the Caribbean? We don’t have Starbucks in Barbados, but we do have something similar! You can have coffee.. and I’ll have a fruit smoothie. (I HATE coffee! hahaha)

  33. Jessica West says:

    okay I am going to try to make it :-)

  34. Bran Muffin says:

    haha! I love love love that you have a little “poster” for that!

  35. Cindy Beall says:

    There’s a Starbucks about 10 minutes from my house.

    Just sayin’.

  36. kim says:

    fun idea! i would love to meet you, but think it’s fun that you’ll be spending time with people you’ve “known” longer than a hot minute! :D

    • alece says:

      would be so great to see you again (it’s been—what?—16 years???!!) — and no worries. many of the people who may show up i’ve never even met in person before!
