Tues. Feb. 24th: U/V St. & 9th St. NW, pre-Sleater-Kinney.

Sleater-Kinney is playing the 9:30 Club, so I am being lured to the Potomac. Would anyone like to meet up beforehand? Sleater-Kinney attendance not required (and anyhow the show is sold out). Venue: your choice: the Satellite Room or the Brixton? I have never actually met a MeFite but understand it involves beans on a plate.
Venues:

The Satellite Room shares a wall with the 9:30 Club, which is convenient for those attending the show, but possibly aggravating for those not. They serve things like tater tot poutine and boozy breakfast cereal milkshakes.

The Brixton is more like a pub, a block away. They serve things like toasted cheese, curry tiffin, and potato samosas with tamarind sauce. The Brixton seems more spacious than the Satellite Room. Also there is an upstairs lounge with a fireplace.

Really I think the first person who responds gets to choose.

Time: 5 pm until 7 or 8ish (or possibly even 9 if ultra-engaging).
You might keep an eye peeled for this hat and coat.

Oooh, exciting! We (Bulgaroktonos and I) are a maybe -- it depends on work, traffic, cold, levels of exhaustion, time, all sorts of stuff. We're also not drinking during Lent and trying to eat better so it's possible we'll decide that it's just not the right choice today.

That said, it is always super super exciting to see MeFites so maybe we'll swing by if only for half an hour or so.

Oh, didn't realize this was today! I need to run an errand after work but if it doesn't take too long I can swing by. :)

Excellent! This will provide a way to entertain myself even if no one shows up.

Looking at our evening, it seems like unfortunately this probably isn't going to work for us. I'm so sorry! Please come to another meetup soon so we can hang out!

Really nice to meet you, feral_goldfish (and eat all the poutine, om nom nom), hope you enjoyed the show and that you'll come back to DC for punk rock karaoke and other fun MeFi times.
