Hello Fellow BOLers,
I am wondering how many of us there are in the WASHINGTON D.C area. I propose a meetup so we can find each other and generally shoot the breeze with some tech talk. So if you are a BOLer and are generally bummed because all your friends are lawyers, legislators, policy associates and do not care about CNET TV, Tekzilla, Twitter, Digg, TWIW, Tom, Molly, or Jason, it's time you found some like minded friends ![]()
It will be very interesting to meet you all. I propose the following::
Date: Saturday, August 9, 2008
Time: 6:00 p.m.
Venue:
Sequoia Restaurant [http://www.arkrestaurants.com ]
3000 K St NW
Washington, DC 20007
(202) 944-4200
What say you?
Woops, I talked about it.
Is the Sequoia a formal kind of restaurant, with price and dress code to match? If so, I'd rather go to a casual and reasonably priced joint.
...people jump off boats and come have drinks in shorts there...picked the place coz there is plenty of room around the tiki bar and it is outside...it's a lot of fun.
Any other DC BOLers?
If the weekend changes I might have a better chance of making it up there. I live in Virginia Beach, 3.5-4 hour drive away if traffic doesn't stink.
I'm going to a concert the night before in Virginia Beach, I have lots of friends up in the DC, Nova area and I'd make a whole weekend out of it.
If you all happen to change the date I might be able to attend as well.
I live right outside D.C., but my parents aren't exactly hip to BOL and wouldn't understand why I'd want to meet people I've only chatted with in a forum. I'll be sure to watch any live stream that's offered.
Maybe you should spin it as some sort of educational opportunity?
You do have to be of legal drinking age...let's look at the response and the demographic...and we'll think of doing a cookout instead.
But I'm in the DC region often on sales calls. I might be able to work something out...

post in this thread or PM me. Will meet you for a drink.
I'd love to attend a BOL meetup but I'm definitely not at the legal drinking age.
Btw, there are DEFINITELY more D.C./Nova/MD BOL fans out there because I've heard many calls aired on the show by locals. So maybe you guys should do what everyone else is doing, even if it's annoying, and call into the show about the meetup... but maybe change the location first, please?
...is this it? No more BOL fans in DC? It sure is lonely here. No wonder the congress gets away with ridiculous tech bills.
