The year is off to a great start with three Drupal events already on the calendar.
First, just this past Sunday, Dave led a meet-up at DC Library, West End Branch. This was targted at folks that wanted a little more time infront of the computers than is possible at a bar and since the Silver Spring, December meet-up that Addison led went so well on the weekend and some folks from outside the District can't come in after work it seemed to fit a good niche.
Next up up we have lightening talks and beers after work next Tuesday the 22nd at Be Bar from 7pm until 9pm-ish. It's right by the convention center so will be easy for the after work crowd. Read more, get directions, and suggest a lighting talk topic that you want to present.
We also already have a date set for next month's meet-up, February 20th up in Adams Morgan. Mike Mccaffre has worked to get a big space at AffinityLab (this can hold a good 50+ people). There will be food and beer (let Mike know if you want to sponsor). This will also have lightening talks - so post ideas on Mike's thread.
Both Mike and Dave are going to be at the up coming meetup on the 22nd. If anyone else is interested in helping to organize events in DC please come so we can plan over a beer. This is going to be an awesome year.
