We have exciting news for the 3rd annual Mid-Atlantic blogger meetup — aka YearlyCarnacki, at 11 a.m., Saturday, May 26, in Washington, D.C.
Special guests Wesley Clark, Elizabeth Edwards, Senator Jay Rockefeller and Rep. Nick Rahall with musical guests AC/DC are all
invited to attend.
As a matter of fact, everyone is invited to attend.
The Mid-Atlantic meetup has always been on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. Probably more so than other meetups that tend to involve lots of alcohol and wild orgies (I wrote that for any freepers reading this), Yearly Carnacki is a laidback affair, with people bringing their children and with an emphasis on fun as well as politics.
Here’s the plan, and we’re trying to have two meetup times to accomodate those who just want to attend later in the day, a request in past years. Bring a brown bag lunch or pick up something for a picnic.
11 a.m. — Meet us at the visitor’s center of the National Zoo. More information about the zoo here. Zoo map here (PDF)
2 p.m. — Picnic on the Mall. We’ll meet at a small park the Folger Rose Garden next to the Smithsonian Castle. We’ll either eat there, or depending how many of us there are, find someplace close to eat.
2:30ish — Depending on the vote, we’ll tour a museum followed, no doubt, by picking a bar for drinking by many.
