DC Bloggers Meetup
I've just returned from tonight's DC Blogger Meetup at Pharaoh's Bar and Grill in Adam's Morgan, my first visit to that DC neighborhood. The organizer, Rob Goodspeed, who also contributes to the DCist has the full list of attendees with some details about the night's events (yes, that's my arm and head in the corrner of the picture). Wayan of Metroblogging DC and Belly Button Window also has a pic (I'm the one trying to look away from the camera).
I'd found a few of these blogs before the meetup, so it was cool to meet everyone in person. Scott at Broke Kid tipped me off to free documentaries. I also met Pat, whose blog I've been reading for several days. Shannon from Playful in DC and I talked about theater, grad school, and filmmaking (we're also both from the south). Michael's blog addresses a wide range of science topics. Robert's photoblog has some cool photos of DC. John of Prod and Ponder is an adjunct professor at George Mason, where he once taught a course on cybercultures. I'll let you go over to Rob's blog and explore the blogs of the other attendees, but I always enjoy meeting and drinking with other bloggers, and the vibe at Pharaoh's--and in Adam's Morgan in general--was very cool. In other news, tomorrow, I may try drinking liberally.
Update: Here's another photo from the blogger meetup on Wednesday, courtesy of John. I'm pretty much obscured in the photo, but here's furtehr evidence, if it was ever needed, that I do have a social life after all.

I'm hitting my local Drinking Liberally for the first time tomorrow, as well... I'm cautiously optimistic.

Do you still go to the Blogger Meet-Ups? I've been slacking since last year. Too much to write, too little time.

I stopped going once I became more involved in the DC Drinking Liberally group. But I've recently moved to Fayetteville, North Carolina, which has put a dent in my Meet-Up activity.
