Annapolis 1/8/14

[ShallNotInfringe]

I still have my orange 2A ribbon that I wear whenever I go. Hard to miss seeing that.

Good idea. Will make some.

My big problem down there is parking.

Both of our vehicles are 7'+ tall. None of the nearby parking garages (and when I say "near by" I mean several blocks away) will not accommodate a vehicle that tall. And the parking lots (even further way) usually usually fill up quickly. So every time I come to Annapolis for something like that, I have to rent a car.

I know I could probably "car pool". But with the nature of my job, there's always the chance that I may have to leave at a moments notice, because a regular customer needs me and it can't wait.

I am going to try for the 4th. If so, I'll be renting a car again.

(And, no, I don't use the stadium lot and "take the shuttle". Been there. Done that. Didn't go well.)

I've always parked at the Naval Academy football field. It's only about 3 blocks away, not a bad walk unless the weather is bad

Edit, Whoops didn't read your whole post. I took the shuttle the first time until I got used to where things are located. If you were there the day the Big O was, yea things were f'd up that day

There are also some free 9 hour on-street parking spaces along King George street by St. John's College. They do fill up pretty early, but I've gotten lucky with someone pulling out, etc. a few times. It's always worth a quick cruise by to check it out.

Bump.

 

[WeaponsCollector]

Would like to go but as usual I probably won't be able to take off from work.

 

[Not_an_outlaw]

I can probably go. Someone please PM me for some guidance.

 

[NY Transplant]

I wish, thin on leave and have to use it wisely this year.

Same here. My focus at the moment is for Feb. 4th.

What do you need to know?

The guidance you need might help/apply to others.

 

[QuebecoisWolf]

Lol. Nah. Figure I'll smile and shake hands. It is the season opener after all.

Give 'em the stink palm!

Annapolis has quite a bit of metered parking on the streets within a couple of blocks on all sides of the State House. Isn't usually hard to find one. Pretty cheap, too.

City of Annapolis just elected its first Republican Mayor in decades, so at least the local host government is friendly, as long as it lasts.

Will definately be there for the gauntlet. Waiting for word on leave request for how long I can stay.

Walking from the Stadium takes about as long as waiting for the shuttle. Cruising the neighborhood for an open , legal space usually takes about as long as the trip from the stadium. I have a cpl secret spots , but if I told they wouldn't be secret any more.

Not sure what info was being looked for, but either park as above , or in downtown commercial garage. Come to the front entrance of the Capitol ( the side facing away from harbor , and twords stadium. Unless there is overflow to the steps , there will be ( private citizens spontanously observing the legislative process) covering the hallway inside.

Wish I could make this one, but I have tables at the Timonium Gun Show. I made the last one, and I know making a stand counts, but our wonderful senators and delegates couldn't care less if there were 100,000 gun owners there...they were still going to pass SB281.

This is for Wednesday, when the session opens.

I may be able to make the evening shift, assuming of course they do something other than a pro forma part-day.

I don't even know what show this is from, but I'm laughing too damn much to care!

I exchanged a few PMs with N-a-o and think most things were answered, but the "evening shift" is one that I don't know about. Anybody know if the critters will be there, and if anyone else is going to stop by and say "Hi" then? I'll be there early, and maybe try to hook up with some others for lunch if there is any interest.

Meet in the lobby of the State House, shake hands, up to the gallery for a bit, lunch (play the timing by ear) See reps if we can. What's the name of that awesome diner? Maybe there?

How's that sound?
