Fredneck

 :P It's not that bad.

I live in Maryland-ish. Technically my mailing address is Montgomery County, but I spend most of my time in Virginia.

Well if you guys want to meet up and do something social like coffee (hot chocolate for me) or lunch or dinner or something that'd be cool.  Always looking to meet other people that I can network with and have a support system or even more importantly, friends.  If you'd like to contact me, please let me know and I'll send you my cell phone number.  Not for sure (since I'm a newbie here) if they allow you to post your phone number in a forum.

 :P

I think a Maryland social sounds great. When I first joined this forum, there weren't many "out" poz folks in the area but it's nice to see that that's not the case anymore. I've personally have hung-out with JamieD and have to say he's a really nice, pleasant, and intelligent young man. Looking forward to meeting the rest of you guys.
PS, just thinking about potential places to hangout, but how about Cheesecake Factory? Mmm, yummy in my tummy :o)

Anywhere would be cool. I'd love to meet some other people.  There is a PozBaltimore group that I'm pretty active in.  We do some social things together.  If you'd like the link, I'd be more than happy to send it to ya.

Cool, I'd love to hang out in Philly sometime.  I'll actually be at a National Conference there in two years and have already started planning on where to stay and stuff like that.  I really want to be close to the Gayborhood if at all possible.  They haven't announced yet where the conference hotel is going to be. 

Have a good one.
