DC-2600: Meeting Summary for September 4, 2009
by Ethan on Sep.09, 2009, under Geek Meets
Things lined up right, and I was headed to DC for a data center visit for work so I made the most of my trip. I had lunch with Curt, a DC local I know from the diving forum (who also has computer skills) and then broke for the DC 2600. They start later, due to the traffic. I visited the old mall, and it looks so much smaller now that we have MacArthur center.
Having heard that the prior meeting had 17 or so, I looked forward to it. At first there was 2 folks, and then it turns out 4 others were in a different part of the restaurant. Everyone moved outside, and a few others joined. Overall it was pretty cool, but attendance was low due to the holiday. I told them I’d return in the future and perhaps bring more locals. Their meeting moved from the Pentagon City Fashion Center mall to a food place (similar to our HRGeeks meetings really). There seemed to be confusion on the location as the magazine just updated the info.
I’ll drop in again, but next trip it’s back to Raleigh unless I’m in DC already.
