Hello Virginia Roll Call

[Sachita]

No one has posted yet so I figured I'd start something. Anyone from Virginia?

I'm in southern va close to the NC state line just outside Danville.

How about you?

[OS Butch]

Well, well, well....Lokks like there are only 2 of us in the good Ole Commonwealth of Virginia......That certainly isn't even close to 1 in 10....I wonder.....:byebye:

[Sachita]

nawwww there's more but for some reason not posting here.

[OS Butch]

I will be driving through Virginia in late March. I am traveling back from Dallas, Tx back to Washington DC. I will be traveling on I81, Bristol, to I66 home. I make a bunch of stops so, if anyone wants to join me for coffee along my route, let me know.

Hi everyone.
Over the summer, I will be moving to the Whitesburg, KY area for work and thought I would check and see if there was anyone from VA that would be close by. I will be less than 20 miles from Pound, VA and less than 45 from Big Stone Gap, VA. I don't know anyone in the area and have only been there once but was 60 miles north (still in the mountains).

Anyone?

[1PlayfulFemme]

*Waving* *Pointing to map* Count me in! I'm close to the TN boarder, but my address reads VA! :)

[OS Butch]

I am heading home tomorrow. I will be leaving Tennessee on I40 to I81 to I66. I will be stopping along the way for coffee and food. Anyone along my route is welcome to join me.

[moxie]

Here I am posting again like 5 months later. I am in SE KY, about 9 miles from the VA border and the closest somewhat large town is Wise/Norton...about 20 miles from my house. Is anyone from around those parts in VA? I keep meaning to make it down the past few weekends so I can do some decent shopping but the weird torrential downpours and the flooding have kept me from doing so.
I would love to get together with anyone if they are in the area. I know no one here in the area and it's hard to make friends outside of work around here as everyone already knows everyone else and there aren't places to go.

I am just mumbling on, so...if you are in the area I'd be more than happy to meet for coffee or lunch or something.

[christie]

We are right at 3.5 hours from you in the SW portion of VA.

Right now, my work schedule is such that I only have about 48 hours at home so that kinda trip is outta range. Perhaps when work lightens a bit, we can plan something.

I know what it feels like to try and make friends in a small town. Next to impossible where we live, but I am happy to report there are two other b/f couples who frequent our lil wally world!

[Inked_Trinity]

Oh Oh...... I'm in! Manassas here!

[christie]

Hiya Inked!

I actually work in Richmond during the week. Jess does come up, at times, so we can go out to a nice dinner or catch up with friends (Jess was a Richmonder for 20 years or so).

Maybe next time she is in town, we can plan something. I've lived in VA for a little over 5 years now and making new friends, at this age, has proved to be challenging.

[Sachita]

I actually see quite a few queers in Martinsville and Danville. I'm not sure if they are all dialed into BF or not but they are certainly there.

Lee and I enjoy meeting new people. We are not so much into the bar scene tho. Hy has been pushing me to go shoot pool but I don't do well around a bunch of rednecks. I'd like to find a place tho.

[OS Butch]

I will be heading that way in October, on my way to Little Rock and final destination Texas. It is always nice to meet folks on the road. I hate eating all by myself, would be great to meet ya'll along my route on I81.

[christie]

I just booked our hotel for part of labor day weekend - Hillsville, VA has a flea mkt that weekend and the whole friggin town is nothing but! Jess made a funny that they call it "Junk a Palooza".

I am kinda stoked! I may say differently after the one day we have planned!

[Kenna]

I'm a Shenandoah Valley Redneck Hillbilly *said very fondly and affectionately*. I went on to further my education in Lynchburg and started college at Blue Ridge Community College in Weyers Cave. I'd love to see the Lynchburg area again. I have family connections in the Dayton, Vienna, Fairfax, Alexandria, Culpeper, Chesapeak, Portsmouth areas. ...and Glen Burnie MD. Skyline Drive is my ole' stomping grounds. I've had the honor and privilege to visit with Christie and Jess several times. I might be asking Jess to show me how to get around Richmond without getting lost.
I hope to be making a couple trips up that way very soon to see family and friends. I think I have all the exits along I81 memorized. Claytor Lake (below Roanoke on I81) would be a nice place to organize an East Coast get-together in the future. Or Maymont in Richmond. It's so very beautiful there!

Hey! I know Hillsville! a little anyway... they have some BEAUTIFUL model cabin homes I've been meaning to stop in for an "ooo and ahhhh" wishful-thinking trip.

[cuddlyfemme]

Can I be an honoary Virginian??? I lived there all my life till I moved to SC a year ago. I miss Virginia!!!!

[OS Butch]

Ok Virginians! Everyone ok? It was a scary, bottles and my glass collection shaking, but everyone thing is ok here.

[Inked_Trinity]

Had stuff flying off the walls in my office but no damage to speak of in Leesburg. I'm wondering what it's like in Manassas where I live? Guess I'll find out when I head home in 30 minutes.

I hope everything is ok on the home front.

[Sachita]

I was in Earth Fare with Wanton Boi when it happened. Some honey fell off the shelf and this was in Greensboro NC. All of a sudden everyone is blowing up my phone to make sure I'm ok. It seems cell service was out for a little bit and no one could reach me.

How odd having an earthquake here. It's seems the sky is falling

[Sachita]

I tell myself I will go to Hillsville every year but at the last minute I think about the traffic and crowds. I change my mind.

Yep, I lost service for awhile too....everyone calling 911 to let them know there was an earthquake:sunglass: .....I think they knew:sunglass:

I thought about going to Hillsville, but I have a swap meet on Saturday and Sundays are not a favorite travel day... Then without staying over night, 4 hours out and them 4 hours back...not on my book for this year.

I will say that hotel room prices are OUTRAGEOUS. The only reason I agreed to pay $180 A NIGHT at a HOLIDAY INN is because its a special thing for Jess and I to run away from home for a night, especially when there might be Jade-ite or any of the other treasures we collect. I am not fond of the drive to Hillsville over Lover's Leap and I really, really didn't want to do that curvyass mountain cliff hanging drive with 500K other folks on the road.

I think next year we might have to look at RVing it. Depending on our experience this year, next year might not be an option! :seeingstars:

[ruffryder]

I hope everyone in VA is okay and didn't get too much damage from the Quake. I'm in CO where we had about a dozen smaller ones over the past 24 hours and one I felt a bit last night was a 5.3.

OMGoodness! That is outrageous! I had thought of pulling my rv camper, but I was booked for this flea market and that put that out of my calender. I will keep that in mind for next year.

[Milly]

Born and raised in the Capital of the Confederacy (Richmond). Currently living in NM, but moving home to the "Sweet Virginia Breeze" (check out Robin Thompson) within the next few months. WOO HOO! I love Virginia!

[Jess]

Robin's song is a classic, but probably my favorite is by an old friend who left us this year. You may remember his show on NPR, The Out of the Blue Revue, Purebred American Mongrel music!

Ramble on Page!!!

Well hey there cuddlyfemme. Been a long time! I didn't realize you had moved out of Virginia!

[cuddlyfemme]

Well hey there cuddlyfemme. Been a long time! I didn't realize you had moved out of Virginia!

Hey OS, it has been a long time! I moved out of Northern VA a year ago in May so SC It got way to expensive for me :( But I hope to come back since Northern VA is my home and I lived there all my life

I am an hour and half I think from Hillsville. If I went I would just drive. If you have an RV you're welcome to hook it up at the farm and stay a few nights. I have an RV outlet and a hose to hook to your water, just no sewer.

Wow, that is very generous of you, Thank you! I am sure there is a dumping station somewhere. It may have to be in my plans for next year!

[OS Butch]

Here in Alexandria, the rain is coming down and wind gusts but I still have electricity! How is everyone doing?

[Babyangeleyez]

Hello to all the Virginia peoples! I'm in Culpeper.

[lyric]

Hello, Virginia!
Toxic and I are in Alexandria. I'd like to move to an area that's a little less expensive and a bit more rural (just can't take the country out of the girl, I guess) but we're still here for the time being. :)

Hey there Lyric! I know where Alexandria is. I hate going to N.VA. I'm probably 1 1/2 hours from your area. I live out in the country. Well, I guess you can still call it that.

Hi there Lyric! I am in Alexandria too. I think we may have met years ago....maybe at the Phase or maybe Dyke Night at the Eagle.

Either way, I sure would like to get together with local folks in the area once a month or every other month.

What do you think?

[OS Butch]

Hello to all the Virginia peoples! I'm in Culpeper.

Hi! Good to see where folks are located.

[OS Butch]

Looks like my plans for my trip to Texas are set. I leave on Thursday, Oct 13. I just haven't decided on the time....Somewhere between 6am and 10am.

I am heading From I66 to I81 to my over night stop somewhere around Nashville, Tn.

Anyone along my route want to have a cup of coffee with me, that would be grand.

hiya Babyangeleyez! i live in N.VA and i hate driving here, anywhere outside of my little bubble between work and home. I hate traffic! right now we're only 5 minutes from where we both work, so staying where we are makes sense. :)

hey there OS Butch! i bet we did meet at some point at either one of those places :) we have not been out for quite some time. we'd love to do a regular get-together sometime... definitely!

[LipstickLola]

Omg, I went to Hillsville for the first time and had a BLAST!!! Came home broke too....:|
Can't wait til next year!

Hello Darbonaire, my hometown is Roanoke! Although I now reside in NC, all my family lives up there (across the mt in Catawba) I often wonder if I should move "home" myself. I travel that way every three weeks or so, who knows maybe we'll run into each other someday..

[OS Butch]

Good evening Virginians!

I am traveling to Hampton Virginia this coming weekend and I hear there is going to be a Drag Show at The County Grill on Saturday night. I haven't been to a drag show in years! They have a Face Book Page Country Grill Hampton!

I am going to Busboys and Poets in Shirlington with some friends on Saturday the 12th at 6pm. Anyone interested in joining us?

Hello everybody! Not much action going on in the Virginia thread. Hope everyone has had a great summer. Feels like fall weather is moving in a little early here. I'm loving it!

[nekohl]

Hello from SW VA.

It was a cool 79 degrees here today. I am so ready for fall to be here!

You are right. I know for myself, I have switched to using Facebook because it connects me to people I already know in real time. There are very few folks on my friends list that I haven't actually met. Of course, what it does is limit how to make new friends, good grief!

I hope everyone had a great weekend.

[Babyangeleyez]

Here is the link to my FB..... https://www.facebook.com/lisa.nicholson.520 feel free to add me.

There has been some crazy weather here today. I was in Gainesville earlier today and it was pouring down rain. Get pass Fauquier county and it hasnt done anything. Hope everyone is having a great Sunday.

[OS Butch]

I live in Northern Virginia. Is there any interest in starting an every other month dinner/ dessert/ coffee gathering? It sure would be nice to get local BF community going:)

Yes!
I know at two months later, I'm a bit behind on the take here, but Toxic and I would love to get together and help be a part of a regular group doing something like this or more. I might have mentioned interest in this before, but life sort of stole the reigns from the want-to-do's for a while. We just moved to West Springfield a couple of weeks ago (love it out here!) so we're still not too far away from Alexandria, and we'd travel to other areas, too.
:)

Thanks for bringing this up again, and so sorry I was so slow to respond!

[WolfyOne]

Just moved to VA...in the Danville area
I'm staying with Sachita and working on the farm.
We took a short walk around some of her property today and it was breathtakingly beautiful.
There are over 30 dogs boarded here along with her mini pigs and chickens.
I actually collect a couple eggs over the last 2 days. Never have I been that up close to chickens before.
I'm looking forward to when the garden gets going, so I can learn about organic growing.

Anyone in the area that ever wants to hang out, let me know.

[Jess]

Aloha Wolfy! Hearing from you made me check in with some of my VA friends on FB.... I often miss VA very much... caught this video made by some Richmonder's... a couple friends in it and lots of shots of very familiar places made me... well.. HAPPY!!

It has been a very long time since I have popped in here. I am still in Alexandria. Busy working and sure would like to find folks to go out to dinner every now and then.

[uniquetobeme]

We have been so busy and we're trying to be really frugal to pay off some debt, so...if anyone in Northern Virginia wants to get together together to do something inexpensive on a weekend, that would be nice.

[WolfyOne]

I have to scoot my arse out of here because I am now in Raleigh

I just need to see if CCB came back here, she cracks me up, has for years

[TenderButchDaddy]

I recently moved to Petersburg, Virginia. Wanting to meet some femmes and butches in the area.
