Looks neat. Will also throw out that the Drupal meetup is usually at Stetson's on U St and they have a private bar and an awkward but usable projector.

  Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out as a possible future venue.

  I haven't been to Stetson's, but I would love to see more meetups in DC proper. The fact that I live off U Street certainly helps.

Definitely interested! I also have a recommendation for future events: Post the meet up information on hackernewsdc.org as well. DC is a big government town and a lot of federal agencies block meetup.com. It's hard to check out the information at work without blatantly circumventing the filters.

Man, you keep making it on Wednesday. I would love to attend but all my soccer league games are on Wednesday. Hopefully the March one is before the 16th.

Have you thought about contacting MB (http://www.moderndcbusiness.com/ http://www.moderndcbusiness.com/) the new "Modern DC Business Mag"? Just started publishing and its bent towards VC and entrepreneurs. It's kind of fluffy but they might be interested to give some exposure.

Im one of the organizers of the DC meetups along with Rusty. We are planning a Hack-A-Thon in March, but have no place to meet! If anyone knows of locations inside DC within a mile from the metro, we would love to talk to you! My profile has my email address.

Argh, conflicts with django-district. I guess it's nice that there are so many local groups but it's exhausting my free evenings.

Is there a similar meetup in the San Francisco area?
