I’m always glad to meet a Doper (I think we should have our own symbols and secret handshakes). I’ll be in D.C. from the 7th through the 15th and if any D.C. Dopers would like to have a drink in that time I’d be delighted to meet them. I’m in conference all day but all of my evenings are free (and to be totally factual, I don’t drink, but couldn’t care less if others do.)

Please let me know by e-mail when you might be available.

Cheers,

Sampiro

How about dinner rather than drinks, then?

If you’re gonna be here over a weekend, that’s probably the best time to do it. We’re a pretty spread-out bunch, so getting together is a lot easier on non-workdays.

Dinner would be great.

I plan to go to Mt. Vernon sometime on the weekend, but will be there for the rest.
