First Friday in Richmond VA

Drinks, food and art. I will be in Richmond for First Friday and want to explore the heck out of it on foot. Lemaire at the Jefferson Hotel has fancy happy hour in the bar from 4 to 7 pm. Appetizers 3 for $20, wine and drink specials. The Lantern Parade starts at 7 pm. There are light sculptures around the Arts District. If there's later night blues music that would be even more swell. Come wander with me. [more inside]

DC FOODIES February brunchytimes

As much as I'd like to make another "LET'S JUST GO TO COMET" shitpost now that James bloody O'Keefe of all people is going after them (it's a long story, google it) I think...I think we should do brunch in February! the thought-fox's suggestion of Yayla (Turkish, near East Falls Church metro) sounded really tasty, and we haven't done Middle Eastern yet. Let's go on the 25th at noon! [more inside]

D.C. MeFi Tots!

D.C. MeFi Tots (of the "tots and tykes," not "tater" variety) is having a daytime playdate at our place in Arlington on MLK Day (Jan. 16). If you've got a little one and an interest in getting out of the house, RSVP and I'll send you the details. (Including the real address, which is actually not the lovely Atlacatl Pupuseria listed below).

NoVA meetup: Carpool, Herndon

People of northern Virginia! Too long have the meetups in our area been centralized in the District of Columbia. Too long have we been asked to take 45-minute Metro rides on weeknights if we want to interact with our fellow MeFites! But on March 15, we take back our region! Or at least meet up for dinner and/or drinks in Herndon! [more inside]

Dinner in Alexandria Va.

Anybody want to meet up for a weekday dinner in Alexandria Va.? I was thinking most likely on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Friday, at either Shooter McGee's on Duke Street or Paradiso Italiano on Franconia Road. Other places in Alexandria's west end considered, but not on a weekend, and not in Old Town --- trying to avoid too much hassle with parking and crowds!

The Just Ones

I'm seeing a friend in Camus's Les Justes (The Just Ones) on Saturday night. Anyone want to join me? He writes, It's Albert Camus being challenging as hell. Unreasonably passionate characters slamming up against terrorism, morality, violence begetting violence, death... also I'm rocking a pretty ridiculous beard. ... There's a Metro station, or you just do 395 to 110 to Wilson. Tickets.

Richmond, VA meetup at Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens

We're overdue for a meetup and I was thinking the GardenFest of Lights at Lewis Ginter would be interesting. It's only $11 dollars and maybe we could grab dinner beforehand? As a Richmond native, I'm sad to say that I've never been to Lewis Ginter (sad I know). What does everyone think?

The Family Hemerlein Variety Show: BURST Edition

The Family Hemerlein Variety Show is a music and comedy stage show I've been producing for the past 8 months, co-hosted by my friends Seaton Smith and Matthew Hemerlein. It's very cool, and very funny, and always sells out (and it has in the past included Metafilter's best comedian I_foody!) This weekend we'll be putting on the show in Rosslyn VA, at the brand new giant arts complex Artisphere's Domed Theater. Did I mention the open bar? There is an open bar. [more inside]

Meetup at Mekong, not IN Mekong

There's already a Metatalk thread about this meetup, but I thought I'd give the new subsite some love, too. Judging from who's already responded in the Metatalk thread, this is shaping up to be bigger than past Richmond meetups...
