>>5315269>>5315269the page is called northern virginia bjd lovers if you're interested. honestly i've never been to one of their meets, but from the facebook posts they seem relatively more "normal" than the stereotypes and horror stories i hear from others.
i've only been to one meet and it was in fredericksburg, virginia. we met up at a super cute book store and everyone was nice, friendly, sanitary (!!!) and so were their dolls. definitely don't let the horror stories scare you away from going to a meet! it's a very nice experience and now that the hobby is a little more widespread, people tend to be more self-controlled than they were a few years ago.
