DC Xanga Meet: Part Deux!
Well, this has been the longest hiatus I’ve had from writing a post in a while. As you might have read previously, I’ve been quite busy this past week. So many events happen back to back that I haven’t really had much time to relax and chill. I almost didn’t have time tonight, but luckily I was able to get out of a match I was suppose to play. I’m just too mentally exhausted, but I’m sure one good night of sleep will fix that up.
I’ll write about my Williamsburg trip later. First, let me tell you all about the Xanga meet up in DC this past Saturday:
All the Xangans that came out! From left to right: melodicserenity, stupid_systemus, DommieGirlLovie, VampiressMai, theacematt2, CiaoBella810, PineappleLurve, TheCheshireGrins, Torri, Roadlesstaken, Scrooge0 . *Note: Two other Xangans came later (both my real life friends); ch10n9 and d2h5bWell what can I say? It was pretty much what I expected and in a lot of ways even better. I’m so happy that the turnout this time around was more than double the last one (which I didn’t attend; oops!). I guess it helped that I brought some of my real life friends along who also happened to have Xangas. They tend to not update as much, but hopefully now they will start blogging some more.
As mentioned over at The ChershiresGrin recap post, we ate, chit chatted, and XTVed (you can check out archive footage over at CiaoBella810′s page) for about 4 hours over at a place called Bus Boys and Poets. Time went by surprisingly fast and we very well may have stayed in there longer had we not made prior arrangements to go over to the Spy Museum.
That Spy Museum visit was extremely cool. We got to participate in a thing there where we became spies in a simulated spy mission. I was having a lot of fun getting into it, although I admit the lack of sleep from the night before was catching up to me about then (thanks a lot to shatterFocus’ late night XTV =P). I definitely recommend that museum if you ever visit DC. I may have to do it again, since apparently the ending of our mission changes depending on our actions.
After that, we decided to eat and hang out one last time before we all parted ways. By the time the thing ended it was around 7:30pm! We hung out much longer than expected, but I’m certainly not complaining. These were some seriously great folks that came up for this meet up and I’m happier knowing them now. You people that missed out this time around better make up for it next time! It’s not scary, I promise

It was awesome and everyone else should come next time!

Awesome!
Man I gotta go to one of those.
@lizzie_wizzie - Yes you did, thanks for visiting!
@TheCheshireGrins - I totally agree. Hey, perhaps next time we will double our turn out from this time!
@Kathleen_g - I know right, seeing as seemingly half of Xanga is from there haha.
sounds like fun :]
dood…I wanna be a spy T.T
@randaness - yeppers! Come next time.
@Dare2BDiferentt - Hey, you’re always welcome
@Dylan_Disast3r - I cracked a safe and evaded security cameras
Sorry I missed you on XTV. This is so so cool I want to go to one now! Thanks for sharing and glad you all had fun!
this is so cute…
@melissa_orchid - It’s okay, it was very last minute that we decided to do one. Surprised so many people visited. I recommend meeting fellow Xangans in the near future!
@ipinkyflower - What, the meet up? The cupcakes? Me? (just kidding about the last one)
Thanks, but the one of me looking half asleep
Good job!
Lol, was good fun!
I loved your friends hair.
@DommieGirlLovie - ah yes, that was my plan hehe. Talking about Jose’s hair right?
@Roadlesstaken - Nooo. The one who came later, he was wear the blue shirt.
@DommieGirlLovie - Ooooh, Kevin. Yeah, guess his is alright
I’m so jealous…you guys got cupcakes and went to a spy museum.
@mycontinuity - We were also suppose to get drinks at the end of the spy mission, but that didn’t work out.
Weeee!!!
looks like fun! and aww you met Ying!
@Scrooge0 - Wish you coulda hung out longer!
@mae - Yep yep. He’s a cool guy
Love those cupcakes!! =) I have organized two local Xanga meets in the past–it’s always interesting to meet the personalities in person!
How interesting! Looks like you guys had fun. I would definitely attend one if there was one near Los Angeles.
aww, fun. i’m in dc visiting, too! too bad i missed out!
Damn! This looks really fun! I wish I could have the chance to be in xanga meets.
@lil_squirrel4ever - Oh really? How many people went to those? Do you have any old entries recapping those meets?
@buiptammy - Too bad we didn’t know each other back in January; we had a mini LA meet up there
@Shopgirl0393 - Wait, you’re currently in DC and you didn’t come? Booo!
@UnpredictableIdentity - Perhaps you will, or you could even be a host of one!
It looks like so much fun!
AWESOME!!!! – that’ s it, if given plenty of time – I’m in for it next year…
That looks like fun. We are going to have a mini New York meetup this weekend. Can’t wait!
That looks like so much fun. Dang it, why do I have to live in this part of the country?
Awww… I wish could’ve gone! Most def next time!!! Glad you had a blast~!
Wow I’m jealous and there were pastries
Ahhhh, all thsoe Xangans in the same place, that is so cool.
Aww.
I’m so bummed I didn’t make it.
too cute.
Thats awesome. Only if it didn’t take me 40 hours to get there, I would of came.
i cannot believe you all actually met each other. i would never do that! (maybe because i’ve made so many xenemies on here!) that’s really cute though.
Why mention “real life” friends? I understand that they were part of your life before the popularity in the xangan community, but I also think that you can be friends with anyone else around the world. In a way, we’re coming together as one by trying to get to know each other. Isn’t that also why you had a xangan meet? I think I would disregard the term “real friends.” Sorry, not feeling too good today.
aw that sounds like fun, the cupcakes are so cute lol
@JennLee@datingish - He means good. We went to the same college.
If you reach Norfolk area, let me know.
@mae - Damn right Ying is a cool guy! XD
mmmmm that museum sounds so cool!!!
I just got paid today. Too bad it wasn’t this weekend cause I definitely could have gone
I might be going to Baltimore next month fro Otakon. If I do, we should hang out 
@JennLee@datingish - Aw, must have been a pretty bad day. Yeah, I say real life friends just to mean that I know them in person, physically. It definitely doesn’t mean they are more or less of a friend as say some online friends I’ve made here.
@UnopenedSuitcases - It really is. We didn’t even get to see the museum part, so that’s something I should check out next time I go.
@B1ANCACACA - That is possible, although I haven’t gone there before. stupid_systemus does though. He’s even doing a performance there, so you should connect with him if you’re interested
@JetaimeMing - They were! I didn’t notice until later on that the colored cupcakes were that of Xanga’s logo haha.
@elelkewljay -
@niikhita - It was! Too bad you’re not closer by
@edlives - Sounds good!
@ISpeakLife - It’s not bad at all. I recommend going to one of these meets if you get the chance.
@LilSweetJew - Yeah, that’s just a tad of a ways haha. Which area do you live?
@MySecretLoveAffair - It’s alright. Next time!
@AlterEgo909 - Isn’t it? Finally getting to meet someone I’ve been reading for a while in person is so cool.
@I_am_hiphop - those cupcakes were a nice surprise. Torri did a good job making them.
@ImprezaGirl - I know, you ditched us for some bbq *sniff* . Haha it’s okay, next time then!
@vanedave - Oh yeah? I would think NY meet up would be huge seeing as so many Xangans are from there. Hope pics are taken so I can check them out!
@wherethefishlives - Fly over, it’s worth it
I think what is needed is a Xanga party. Username and password to get in.
I’m glad all of you are so connected with one another that this was possible.
I live in Callifornia…
@ultravioletskies08 - That would be an interesting and exclusive party
@LilSweetJew - Ah. I was just over there not too long ago, in San Diego. I’m thinking about traveling there sometime this summer but in the San Francisco area instead.
Xangacakes! That’s genius!
BTW, you’re ROCKING that white shirt!
@Roadlesstaken - i livve an hour and a half from SF
@CareyGLY - haha thank you very much sir
@LilSweetJew - Oh cool, near Sacramento? Man, I remember when I first went to CA. I forgot how big that state was! I was gonna visit both SD and SF…until I found out they were about 8 hours apart X_X
@Roadlesstaken - I live in Sacramento…..ehe
that is really awesome. good stuff.
@Roadlesstaken - Sadly, I am in the opposite part of your world, and I only know a few xangans here in the country. Most of which are miles away.
@RDRRain23 - I’m glad I made it this time around
Those cupcakes are making me hungry. Were they as tastey as they look?
@theRyeCatcher - honestly, the others ate it all before I could try one -_-
DC is way too far away for me, even for a Xanga meet. But the Spy Museum sounded interesting!
next time i’ll try to be on time haha
@strawberries_and_honey - Hey you owe me at least one visit
@ch10n9 - It’s fine, you were too busy winning your tennis match so that’s acceptable haha. However, had both you guys came earlier you could have gotten in the group shot as well!
@Roadlesstaken - But I’m such a horrible person to hang out with!
Maybe we could set one up for when you come to SF? =]
@Roadlesstaken - You should go! There’s definitely a lot to do there. And with way over 20,000 ppl being there, it’s impossible to be bored
Wow that’s a really cool experience. Meeting the people behind the xanga and enjoying one’s company without the next post! Man I’d love to attend one! Come by the east coast into PA =] Open invite to all! We have cows and heyyy lots of corn =P haha
oh man. howww cool! i wish i could’ve made it but alas, lack of funds and prior engagements to visit family. so i had quite a busy week too! (as you can see i am back on xanga, FULL THROTTLE. i know i’ve been skipping out lately. sorry!)
Mucho fun!
=D
RYC: I’d be concerned if you wore bras.
= )
sounds fun to meet some ppl in the area that are also part of the xanga community but ya it sucks here in vegas
@xLove_Me_Alwaysx - that would be great
. We’ll touch base later.
@B1ANCACACA - That’s true. I’ll consider it if I’m not busy.
@xxLilPauliexx - Hey I’m already on the east coast! I’m just a state below you haha
@PiscesPhishie - It’s all good, as long as you’re back now!
@Vitamin_D - Yeah, I would be concern as well haha
@nooitzben - I’m sure there’s a fair amount of Xangans in Vegas. At least, there sure seem to be a lot of CA people that visit Vegas!
Lol. Xanga cupcakes! Genious!
That is so cool! I’d like to have one for Floridians.
@JL789 - It was quite creative!
@ForgoThePretense - Perhaps you should be the ringleader for a FL meet
Hey now…
I didn’t mean to embarrass you…
But I was speaking of the TRUTH!!!!!!
heheh…looks like ya’ll had a good time!
@bluedreamer85 - Uh huh sure…well thank you, I appreciated it. I was just a tad embarrassed with everyone around as I read what you said out loud haha.
@Roadlesstaken - wow and here I thought you lived on the west coast for all this time! I guess I should pay attention more to people’s profiles. haha..
@xxLilPauliexx - Plus this meet up was in DC, which is also right below you! Haha, I must be really dedicated to travel all the way from CA for that =P
i just realized they were xanga colors now that you pointed it out lol and yeah i know, guys in nyc are all like that. well most of them.
oh and i saw the comment on my pulse just now. lol i took my chem regents today and i totally bombed it, as in failing it .. i had no idea what to do.
@JetaimeMing - haha oh it’s alright. Btw, you know that you could just reply to my comments on your pulse without having to write it here right? I’ll still see it! Just saves ya a trip over here
@Roadlesstaken - lol it depends how your home page is cause my home page doesn’t allow me to see when people reply and such and okay next time i will
Well prior to this blog you wrote about family visiting and such so I always thought oh CA is pretty big so some family can be on the north, the south, etc etc. soo.. haha people make mistakes? lol ahh well I guess it’s nice to know the saying is true, you do learn something new everyday lol and hey we’re on the same coast!
I love you people. Muahhhzzzz!!!
@xxLilPauliexx - It’s all good, now you know I’m a lot closer to your area than you originally thought
@XndraXstz -

@indiechaos - they sure did!
I’m so planning to come next time!!!!
@joycemiles - Good! The more the merrier.
I saw you guys on XTV! And yay for the group picture. :] Those cupcakes look awesome.
@IfonEarth - Oh yeah, I remember seeing you. Thanks for stopping by!
^_^. I’ve been on haitus too! That looks like a fun time, I did not know there were such things as Xanga meets. I shoudl go to one of these…hmm..We were supposed to go to the Spy musuem when I went to D.C with my class, but we ran out of time…darn.
