The Apu Trilogy at E Street Cinema
Satyajit Ray's Apu Trilogy was recently restored and is currently showing at the E Street Cinema. On Saturday, June 27, I'm going to do a triple feature, starting at 4:30 PM and finishing just shy of midnight. Do any DC-area MeFites have the interest and gluteal fortitude to join me?
Post Hunt
In lieu of our (sort of) regularly scheduled gaming meetup, would folks be interested in the Post Hunt on May 31? [more inside]
Star Trek, TNG Happy Hour, Round 26, Version 2.0
After last week's tribute to Nimoy (is there something in my eye?) we're back on track with "The Measure of a Man", said to be the first truly great episode of ST:TNG, where our heroes grapple with the question of Data's personhood. Plus, weird blue drinks as usual. [more inside]
Delicious Foodstuffs Tour of DC Begins with Fish in the Hood
The winner of our food poll is Fish in the Hood, located in Park View, DC. (Easy walk from Georgia Ave-Petworth Metro.) (Also, potentially, in the 'hood?) I'm going to go ahead and simplify this process and pick out a date myself: Saturday, March 14, 2015 at 7:00 PM. It's near some great bars so a Saturday night should be pretty ideal for anyone who wants a night out on the town. Hope to see you all there! [more inside]

ChuraChura Visits Washington, DC
February 7: Dinner at Etete Restaurant at 7 PM with museuming and wandering during the day!

Sichuan Hot Pot
Year-end meetup
The holidays are upon us, and I'm not going to be able to organize a final gaming meetup, because my weekends are pretty much booked until the end of the year. (If someone else wants to organize one, please feel free, though! I'll pick it up again next year.) But a bunch of random weeknights are free... anyone feel like drinks and/or dinner, on December 8, 9 or 10, maybe?
Confirmed for Dec 8 at RFD in Chinatown.
His thoughts were red thoughts and Misfish are coming to DC!
His thoughts were red thoughts and Misfish are coming to DC in early October so we're having a meetup! It will be at Bier Baron in Dupont starting in the late afternoon and continuing until we all leave. Hope to see you there!
DC summer board and card games meetup
I'm not saying you should wear your straw boater after Labor Day, but I am saying that summer doesn't actually end until autumn starts, so we've still got a few weeks to squeeze in a summer gaming meetup. [more inside]
IF YOU COME TO ONE DC MEETUP THIS DECADE, MAKE IT MEFI'S 15th BIRTHDAY!
In honor of the 15th birthday of Metafilter, we'll be having a meetup at Science Club, the same place we had our meetup for the tenth. Please really do consider coming, even if you've never been to a meetup before. Let's make this one count! [more inside]
Let's drink beer and buy toys!
In the Weird DC thread, troika mentioned that Churchkey + going to the incredibly bizarre yet oddly charming Monarch Novelties could be a great meetup combination, so I say: why not?
We'll meet up at Monarch at noon, and then hang out at Churchkey until whenever. Feel free to drop in at any time in the afternoon.
Divined by radio is visiting DC!

DC Board Room Meetup
Did this holiday season bring you new games you'd like to try out? Or a tragic lack of opportunities to play games that you'd like to make up for? Get your fix at the Board Room in Dupont Circle! [more inside]

Washington DC is open again!
I'm going to be in DC on Friday November 1 for a meeting (which just got finally confirmed, even though everyone in the department I contract for has been furloughed recently and so it hasn't had any organizers...) and I'll be staying overnight. Wondering if any mefites want to meet up for dinner and/or drinks? I'm staying in Dupont Circle, but happy to head anywhere. Update: we have added a restaurant venue.
Board Room Meetup, November edition
Yeah, November. Because all my weekends are booked until November, which is ridiculous, but anyway...who wants to get a game day in before the holidays?
UPDATE: Confirmed for November 10 [more inside]

It all started with an AskMe two years ago. For the third year running, we'll be building and operating a crazy-ass parade float on the trolley tracks during the H St. Festival. [more inside]
NOVA Tysons Meetup
To minimize confusion from the other thread - I'm spinning off the Tyson's meetup now that we have a couple of people on board. I work in Tyson's so I can get there a little early and get a table.
Board Room Meetup, July edition
April meetup in DC
Now that maybe, possibly, hopefully all that miserable cold weather is behind us, who feels like venturing out for a meetup? I was thinking a weekend afternoon meetup at the Board Room would be fun, but other ideas are welcome!

DC meetup at Tunnicliff's
Some MeFites were together last night and decided it was time to call a meetup on the east side of town, in particular at Tunnicliff's, which is relatively spacious, quiet, and near the metro. MrMoonPie suggested we meet around inauguration time. Perhaps a weeknight the week prior? The inauguration is on Monday, January 21.
Science Club Meetup
UPDATE: We are confirmed for Wednesday, December 12 at 6:30. The room we are in will be posted at the entrance.
Evening at the Red Derby

Post Hunt Meetup
High noon on Sunday, June 3rd, rain or shine -- Post Hunt is on. Do Mefites have what it takes to win, or will we pick at a puzzle or two and then go for drinks? (Either sounds good to me!) [more inside]

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.
MarriageDC open house
I Don't Know Why You Say Goodbye, I Say Hello
So, I'm going to be back in town for a conference after nine months absence or so and miss all my Internet friends. More importantly, beloved MeFite Potomac Avenue is leaving DC for bigger apples. What say we get together for drinks and funtimes?
Smithsonian Game Fest in DC?
Game Fest is March 16-18, to celebrate the opening of their Art of Videogames exhibit? Anyone want to meet up that Sunday?

This is perhaps optimistic in the face of the onrushing holidays, but is there interest in a meetup on December 9th or 10th?
Update: The meetup will be on December 9th, 7:15 at The Getaway. [more inside]

The Kingman Island Bluegrass and Folk Festival is this weekend! It's right around the corner from my house, so I'll be there at some point. If you're going, let me know, and maybe we can be there at the same time.
Valentines and Ukuleles
Big Ideas Social Club Returns
Since you helped me start it last November, Big Ideas Social Club has been going strong: we're an entertaining cross between a 17th century salon, a group of bar buddies and the funniest guys and gals you've ever met. Our sixth meeting will be on Groundhog Day and, since it's been a while since I've done it formally, I want to invite MeFites out. [more inside]
Washington, DC - come out come out wherever you are
Hi all. We moved to DC at the beginning of December and although I've already met a few of the area's fine MeFites, I'd like to meet more.
My own special snowflakeness: I have a toddler and my significant other comes home late, so weekends are best.
Otherwise, what works for others?
Post Colbert/Stewart rally meetup
I have bad luck with these, but here it goes:
Any MeFites who are going to be at the DC rally are invited to coalesce at Kelly's Irish Times after the official events end (about 4:00-Whenever (It's across the street from Union Station.))
DC meetup at 8:00 at Atomic Billiards
I'll be in Washington DC for a little bit and would be game for a meetup on either the 14th, 15th or 16th. Interested? Evenings are better for me, it'd be cool to go for drinks or something. (Preferably in a place where conversation is actually possible, since Mefites have interesting delicious brains.)
Noel Coward play + possible socializing before or after
A pal of mine is in the Silver Spring Stage production of Noel Coward's Private Lives and nearly guarantees a good time to any attendee. Cutting British wit, that sort of thing. It's at 8. Wanna grab beverages/food before &/or after? Update: My pal says, "For pregaming, there's a Mexican place also across the street that is ideal - Fajita Coast." So I hereby propose that we meet there at 7pm. I shall be there with a book in any case. [more inside]
Rally to Restore Sanity / March to Keep Fear Alive
Oct. 30, the Stewart/Colbert rallies. I know we can expect a lot of us there and with signs. So here's the organizing thread. [more inside]
