CFCOT Meetup: Washington DC: May 16th, 6 PM

[LucyDuke]

The weekend of May 16-18, in DC! I don't live down there but I'll be around town for the weekend. Let's have a meetup! I've never been to DC so I hope some of y'all'll be willing to show me around.

I've talked to a couple of people about this that probably or definitely will be there, but rather than call 'em out, I'll let 'em post here themselves. I know there are a lot of you around DC!

I'll bring a bottle of Autocrat for anybody, as a good ambassador must. And I insist on buying a beer for anyone of legal drinking age.

Who's in? What days are best?

Downtown don't forget CDs! An' I've got autocrat for everyone even if they don't want it.

Unfortunately, I have to be there for weekend on May 31st. I am not driving down there twice.

 

[downtown]

I'm there! I must sadly refuse the booze, but if you feel compelled to buy me root beer...well, thats a different story all together.

Thats also the weekend before I leave town, so I won't be avaiable every night, but I'll def. make an apperence.

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

I will do my utmost to be there. As long as it is somewhere Metro accessable. Accesible? You get the idea.

I second the root beer.

 

[Aegis]

I'm up for this. I'll try to check the local calendar to see what events are going on that weekend.

 

[JerichoHill]

Make it metro accessible or downtown on the 16th, and I can at least show up for a happy hour.

What we should say is, Meet us at Tonic at GWU

You could just stay the whole week.

I've also got to spend some time with the folks who are lending me their couch, so unfortunately I can't party for 72 hours straight either. (That's what you meant, right? )

I don't know crap about DC. I'm hoping some of you that know the area will take the lead and figure out some sensible plans. (Or senseless. I like senseless too.)

And root beer will have to do.

Excellent!

Excellent!

It would be two weeks and I have work in between that time.

I'll third this. Friday night works best for me. I'd rather not do Tonic, but I can manage. Metro accessible is a plus, but I'll most likely drive.

EDIT: Don't count me as an "in" yet because my schedule can change very rapidly.

This sounds pretty neat:

TLDR version: A lot of Embassies will have their doors open to the public and will be hosting events.

Each has a description of what's going on. Except

Wander through the Ethiopian Embassy.

I kinda feel bad for them.

 

[Aegis]

Yeah, I noticed that as well. I LOL'd. >.>

You're doing this solely so that you can meet downtown instead of me.

 

[Elrohir]

Unfortunately, I'm going to be out of town that weekend, so that isn't a possibility for me. I hope you all have fun, though! (And take lots of pictures!)

Can you really blame her?

On topic: I'm there! Just need $$$ for plane ticket and $$$ for hotel and $$$ for food and $$$ for my time.

PS: since this basically started out as a fiftychat thing, I demand that you guys take a group pic for my amusement!

 

[JerichoHill]

Other locations:

Brickskeller/Dupont?

Chinatown? (Ella's, Fado's, and Lucky Strike?)

You just wanna see a pic of Lucy is all ( ). I'm wise, I'm wise.

EDIT: Chinatown would be cool. There's also some good eats in Union Station, but if it's a nice day I'd rather be outside than in.

I'm down with Dupont/Adams Morgan. I work litteraly, right next to Union Station...so thats easy for me to get to, although I'm a little sick of the food options in that neighborhood.

Georgetown is prob. a little expensive for us (with the exception of 5 guys)

 

[Aegis]

Murphy's Irish Pub has awesome food, and is usually a good time with the singing and such.
