Via Barbara for tonight’s meet-up in DC:
Can one of the FPs put up a post about the DC Meet up? My plan is to reserve a table at Elephant and Castle beginning at 5:15. E&C is on Pennsylvania Ave., NW between 12th and 13th Streets, across from the Old Post Office Building, now known as Trump Hotel. I will try to get there at around 5:15, and I will be wearing an orange dress. I would really like to know how many people (give or take) are planning to come so I get the right size table +2 (which I will just plan for). Thanks!
Please respond in comments so Barbara can get a decent table.

Have fun! I wish I could be there.
Shana
Enjoy folks! Sorry I can’t join you all but I’ll raise a glass of wine tonight in Como. No Clooney sightings but everyone knows exactly where he lives. I hope to be able to attend the next one.
Boatboy_srq
I’ll be there, arriving by 7.
Lahke
I’ll be there, aiming for 5:30. Thank you, Barbara, for organizing. I’m wearing purple, yes, because I’m that old. Just was at Lincoln memorial, on the way to Frederick Douglass house.
Barbara
@Lahke: Great! I think that’s five so far including you and me. I am going to go over to talk to them around 1:00 so keep feeding me the rsvp’s.
Mike in DC
I will be there around 630 or so.

@Elizabelle: @Shana: You’ll be missed.
ET
I can be there – on the early end of things I suspect.
A Streeter
Iffy, but I will try to swing by. If I make it, it would be around 6:30.
vickie feminist
I am coming too.

I’m a long time lurker, but I love this community and would like to meet up in real life. Unfortunately, I’m out of town this week, which is why I’m posting: to respectfully ask that this not be a one time event!

I am no longer in the area but, please, moon Trump’s hotel for me?

I will be there at the start, then I have to take off for another event. I’ll be wearing a Hawaiian shirt with cars on it.

I’m actually just a block away, but not at all sure I can make it.
MattF
I might make it. I’m having a tiring day at work, and may need a moment of silence when I get home– but, it’s possible.
ETA: I’ll be the guy who had a haircut yesterday.

@Anonymous At Work:

@MattF:
If I make it, I also will be the guy who had a haircut yesterday.
Caphilldcne
I’ll stop by. 5:30ish. Of course I ended my day on the Hill so I’m going home to change. Will be wearing a DCVote tshirt.
woodrowfan
Seven of us so far.
Elizabelle
@Boatboy_srq: Will miss you.
Have fun! You have a Grand Jury to celebrate. Woo hooo.
Be thinking of a time in mid-September or later for another meetup.
Cheers.
Caphilldcne
Thanks Mary and Barbara for hosting. Nice to meet you all!
woodrowfan
@Caphilldcne: nice to meet you. Noisy so could not talk to everyone. You all are older than I expected (except ET). I didn’t expect a table full of my fellow Boomers. ;)
