[DC LoCo] Release Party

[Jeremy C.]

Just to throw something else out there ... the Courtyard by Marriott in
Chevy Chase (two blocks from Metro) has one of their new "business friendly"
lobby designs with a bistro and bar ....

We recently held a Networking MeetUp.com event there and the staff was VERY
friendly. One of the senior Marriott PR guys was there and he told me
they're trying to draw in tech/business oriented people to see the new
amenities.

Let me know if that's at all an interest.

I would otherwise vote for HacDC or Sunlight though I'm not quite sure if
we're supposed to be doing anything besides just having fun and socializing.
