I wish I still lived there, I totally would! Although, the weather is getting gorgeous, and Champy beckons...hopefully other people respond and set a date, and I can try to make it (I live in Manchester, NH).

I'm moving to Montpelier (from PA) next month and would love to connect with some 'pinners! I don't know whether that counts as "environs" but definitely put me down if anything coalesces!

Kinda late to this party, but I'm in western Mass (Northampton/Amherst area) and would be totally down for a trek into VT/NH!

Sweet! Shall we try to put something together or hold off and see if we accumulate more folks?

I would selfishly propose that we meet up in Montpelier, since it's between Burlington and Northampton (selfish AND practical). Thoughts?

Works for me! I'm having kind of a crazy summer though, so my next free weekend is July 13 (when I can do Saturday but not Sunday -- flying out to Seattle that day!). Then I'm good through the first weekend of August.

Why don't we shoot for Saturday, July 20th? I'd hate to make you schlep up here when you're about to leave for a big trip the next day.

I'm down! I will probably bring a Hairpin-loving friend as well (I just sent her the link to the Google group so she may make an appearance here).

I'm going to try and join you! Manchester, NH to Montpelier isn't too far! Maybe I can also bring a friend!

Awesome! So since Sarah is busy till 6 on July 20, should we do a dinner thing or pick a different day? That's a Saturday, I could do that Sunday as well.

Sunday is less good for me (though I could probably finagle something), so I would vote for something in the evening on Saturday. Those who are driving from afar may have different views about later evening hours, though.

I'm cool with a dinner thing, I just might leave a tad earlier than I otherwise might have. Last time I drove home from Montpelier in the late hours I found my car side-by-side with a moose also heading south on 89.

I am fine with a dinner thing too!

Ok so shall we say...7? How do people feel about Positive Pie? http://www.positivepie.com/montpelier/menu.php The universal appeal of pizza & burgers, with plenty of veggie/gluten-free options

I'm pretty stoked to see this on here since I will be moving to VT in a month and a half or so for a job, and I know nobody. I'd be down for future Pin'ups. :] I'm in NY currently.

Hi! I just moved to Vermont, and thought I'd check and see if there were any hairpin plans around here - I'm thrilled that there are! I would be in for dinner!

Yay is right! Where in VT will you guys be settling? I know we're kind of coming from all over here, but anyone who lives in reasonable proximity to Montpelier should check out this book club meetup that I started http://www.meetup.com/Montpelier-Ladies-Book-and-Social-Club/. Having some 'pinners in the group would definitely up the cool factor!

I'm hoping to land in Montpelier. I've just started looking for apartments on craigslist, but I don't really know where else a good apartment would be? My back up would be Barre if Montpelier doesn't have anything. I'll be working in Randolph.

Montpelier is great! Good luck with your search! I'd be happy to answer any questions you have about the area. I will say that the rental market is tight so I would recommend pouncing as soon as you find something good.

I'm living in Burlington, but I work in Waterbury, so getting to Montpelier is not a problem for me.

Hey guys! The 20th is next weekend! Get pumped! Are people down for Positive Pie at 7:00?

Hey guys, I'm really sorry but I don't think Erin and I are going to make it tonight. We're both feeling pretty drained after our flight back from Seattle last night (it was delayed and then FULL OF BABIES) and I think I picked up somebody's cold on top of that. But I hope you all have a great time, and we'll definitely be available for future events!

Too bad, Alex! Hopefully we'll catch you next time! I'll get there a little early and grab a table. I'll try to put a sign of some sort so no one has to do the awkward helpless wandering thing :-)

So, I (Alex) am actually still free tonight (it was Alison who was saying she couldn't make it), but from the posts I see it seems like only you and I could make it today? Am I off on that, are other people planning on coming? I feel like it may be better to pick another night if there are only two people who are around right now.

Yes! I live on South Willard in Burlington, VT as of this past January and would love to meet up and chat about the Hairpin and books and gender and all those lovely amazing things.
