Has anyone heard anything about GridlockDC for next year? My work is poking me about requesting 2017 days off...
@gridlockdc you guys remember I'm a huge loser right?
“Hello all! Wheels are turning for #GridLOCKDC 2017... and we want to hear from you! Let us know when you'd like to join us.”
Hello all! Wheels are beginning to turn for GridLOCK DC 2017, and we want to hear from you- let us know when you’d like to join us in Washington, DC next year!
BOOK GIVEAWAY
In honor of the upcoming Camp Baker Street weekend, we are giving away THREE, that’s right, THREE BOOKS!
The first book is Kim Newman’s Moriarty: The Hound of the D’Urbervilles, a retelling of several crimes committed by the infamous Professor, as narrated by his right-hand man Colonel Sebastian Moran. It brings in people, objects, and moments from the canon and from other Victorian fiction. The book jacket summary can be read above.
The other book is the two-volume Annotated Sherlock Holmes, a must-have for the Holmesian aficionado. Baring-Gould sorts the canon chronologically, includes illustrations, and thoroughly annotates every single story, as well as providing some biographical details about the main characters. Above you can find the climactic moment of The Three Garridebs as an example.
The Annotated Sherlock Holmes and one copy of The Hound of the D’Urbervilles will be given to a random attendee who registers by July 15. Registration details are here!
“But I can’t make it!” you cry, to which we respond, “Fear not, noble friend! One copy of The Hound of the D’Urbervilles will be given to a random reblogger of this post! You may feel free to reblog more than once, even, if you so desire, but take heed! You have only until July 15 to reblog! After that, the winners will be chosen!”
Remember, Camp Baker Street is happening in Clifton, VA, right outside Washington, D.C., from August 5-7! Registration is only $30 and includes lodging at the retreat center and Saturday dinner with s’mores! Here’s that link with the info again, just in case!
Wedlock Weekend is a Sherlock Holmes-oriented meetup event designed to create an opportunity that many of us only get a few times a year– to party with people from the internet!
Join us for fandom workshops, movie viewings, and even a trip to the Smithsonian Zoo. Take a break from crowded conventions and enjoy the casual and intimate atmosphere of the Loews Madison Hotel with your fandom friends.
View our site for more details.
See you soon!
Registration is open!
The location opens up at 5PM Friday, August 5, and we close up at 1PM Sunday, August 7. We’re looking at doing some getting-to-know-you time on Friday evening (mad libs!) with small writing/art activities, mini-panels and workshops on Saturday, concluding with a cookout dinner and campfire with s'mores. Sunday will be some final wrap-up activities, and probably a lot of sniffling!
The final cost for the weekend will be $30. Sleeping space for those of you who opt for one of the spots at the location is included in that. The money is going entirely towards location fees, a cookout-style dinner on Saturday, and s'mores around a lovely crackling fire, also Saturday.
For those of you opting for a hotel, your closest and best bets are the Days Inn Manassas, Super 8 Manassas, and Best Western Manassas. All are 10 minutes’ drive or less away. We’re around 20 minutes from Dulles Airport and the Vienna Metro station, and can arrange carpooling from those spots to the retreat. We’re also within the Uber coverage area. And it’s a short trip over to historic Clifton, which is THE cutest. Ice cream, anyone?
If you have any questions, you can contact me here, on Twitter, or by email at [email protected]. We also have a Facebook event!
Register here! Spots are limited!
