Attention DC Readers: Meetup On Wednesday

I was a little hesitant about this but I’ve come around to thinking it’s a good thing. A longtime reader of this blog, Jeremy Epstein, is putting together a meetup in DC for people who read this blog (I am sure you are welcome even if you don’t read it).

Jeremy describes it this way:

You’re about community. You’re about your readers. I offered this up and want to meet other folks who read your blog in my area. We share interests and it would be fun.

I can’t argue with that. So here are the details:

Date: Wed. August 13th
Time: 7pm-9 pm
Location:
MienYu
3125 M Street NW
Washington, DC 20007
Phone: 202.333.6122

You can RSVP here

I hope someone takes some pictures and posts them to flickr (or elsewhere) with the avc tag so I can reblog them here.

    There is not a lot of these types of things going on in DC. I just definitely signed up. Hopefully, I am able to make it. I wish we were more of a Start-up area.

      There is actually a pretty vibrant DC tech community. There is typically something going on everyday of the week. DC Tech Events has the best overall view – http://dctechevents.com/

    It sounds like a wonderful idea. All of the MeetUps I’ve gone to that were arranged through Twitter were well worth the time. I bet you gather a great group of readers together,

    I think you should go wearing some kind of special outfit, maybe a robe with a plastic crown 🙂

      That’s what gave me pause on the whole thingBut I’ve come around to thinking it’s a good thing for 15-30 people withsimilar interests to get together and meetup

        I agree, I think it will be a great event I would definitely go if I was in the area. It’s similiar to a meetup.com group but better given that people already know a bit about each other from posts made.
