While you're in Washington...

[Lee Garvin]

Hey everyone,

The news says that between 2 and 5 million people are expected to be in Washington DC for our new president's inauguration. We figure that at least some of those folks will be gamers. So, while you're in town for this historical event, why not take a break and step over to nearby Chantilly or Woodbridge, Virginia and check out one of our Game Parlor locations?

You'll be amazed at the sheer scope of both stores, with an incredible selection of board, card, miniature, and role-playing games; from big-name to small-press publishers; new stuff, old stuff, stuff you had forgotten about or perhaps had despaired of ever seeing again!

Not only that, but both stores offer over a dozen tables for free game-play, whether you want to grab a quick pick-up game or join an on-going campaign!

Don't just take my word for it! take a look at this review:

Yeah, someone definitely should. This sounds incredible, and it would be nice to hear what others think about it.

I've been to the Game Parlor in Woodbridge, and it's got a great selection of interesting stuff.

However, I won't be going back, because the best selection in the world isn't enough to make me put up with the guy behind the counter making obnoxious phallus jokes when I'm just trying to buy stuff and leave. Creeped me right out, it did.

Sorry to hear about your less-than-satisfactory experience. If it helps, the employee most likely to have done that no longer works there, for a variety of reasons we won't go into (but customer complaints did enter into it).

Perhaps you'll give us another chance?

Sounds nice, and while my work seems to be bringing me to D.C. more often these days (even if only for a day), there is no way in hell I'm getting anywhere near the madness that will be the inauguration of President Obama. That's going to be worse than Mardi Gras in New Orleans.

However, if a work trip down there ever lasts for more than a day, I'll try to stop in. Maybe have a snack....

Thank you for your response. As long as I can be reasonably sure that kind of incident won't happen again, I'll consider stopping in sometime when I'm out that way for a baseball game (Potomac Nationals). It's a bit out of the way for me unless I'm out in Virginia for some other purpose, but it really is one of the best selections of gaming supplies I've seen.
