<grin> Went there to visit the University of Washington in St. Louis...
wasn't bad, and my... cousin-in-law, I guess, made for a pretty good
host,
but I ended up going to CMU instead. So....

Hey, it's not *that* bad of a decision basis. And it was something I
was
looking for when I moved up to north Jersey after getting my job here...
unfortunately, there's nothing *really* close (well, work is, which was
also a point since I don't like long regular drives) but there is a
great
store about a half hour away. GW Chapter Approved, but also has a full
suite of Warzone, Clan Wars, and more, so I can't really complain. And
the
CA mark does mean they have gaming tables, and the owner's very cool.
And
I'm helping him paint the BFG minis tomorrow. <grin>
Then, get people started on BFG... and then switch 'em over to Full
Thrust.
^_^ It's a plan, anyway....
Oh -- and there are several stores in/near D.C., the most notable being
the
Game Parlor (IIRC) in Chantilly, though that may be a bit of a drive for
you. There are others near the city... one good one a bit south, but
the
name escapes me.

LAUNCH DAY!
A totally unprovoked attack on peaceful neighbors. Must be the race
file. Does strange things.
