Washington DC meetup

October 5, 2005 11:51 PM

Hey, MeFiDC Culture Geeks! There's free classical music at the National Gallery of Art on Sundays. I propose an evening of Martinu, Beethoven, and Schubert on October 9th, possibly followed by a quick jaunt to Chinatown for dimsum and discourse. Those in favor, be at the fountain statue of Mercury at 6:30pm. If this turns the spinning gems over our heads green, perhaps it could be made a regular thing.

(Oh, there's free music at the LOC too, so we can try that sometime as well.)

MrMoonPie singing raunchy sea shantys at lunch doesn't count as music, brownpau.

I'd come down from BMD for such an event, but not this weekend as I will be away. Please keep me posted as to events such as these in the future.

This weekend is no good for me either, but, like OmieWise, I'd be up for future events for sure!

Just about any Sunday evening from now till next June is good, though I'm away every other weekend. There will be time.

Okay, let's call that off, but almost any Sunday evening from now till next June is good, though I'm away every other weekend. There will be time.

I hate Opera/caching/JRun/whatever that was.

You can still go and scope it out for us if you'd like! My wife starts phase one of our move to Beijing in about a month(where she moves over and looks for an apartment/hu tong and I stay to start the packing), so I'm going to have tons of free, lonely Sunday afternoon time!

I'm trying to get a group together to meet at Blob's Park for a mini-Oktoberfest on Sunday afternoon. Shoot me an email if you'd like to join. Die Katzen mit Käse sind sehr würzig!

That place looks awesome MrMP!

I too will be away this weekend, but both the free music and the mini-Oktoberfest sound like fun. Perhaps next Sunday?

It's a bit of travel for me, but I am very enthusiastic about seeing the Pacifica quartet playing Mendelssohn in December. Perhaps I will float the idea again around that time.
