Meetup at Washington Auto Show

We will meet at the Starbucks inside the Walter E. Washington Convention Center between 9:30 and 10:00 AM. The best way to find the Starbucks is to ask the guards upon entering the building to point the way. It is in the South Building on Level 1 near the Mount Vernon Place Exit.

The complimentary tickets are courtesy of Sport Chevrolet and DARCARS Toyota. Those tickets will be given with priority to the first 40 who RSVP here first. Please be at the Starbucks before 10:00 AM to claim your tickets.

We will enter the Auto Show when it opens at 10:00 AM.

Perhaps we can take a break for lunch at Old Dominion Brewhouse located at the Convention Center.

    I give the Meetup a 5, but the Auto Show a 3 for not having all the EVs I wanted to see there.

      Thanks for all your efforts Mark, you deserve a 5! As for GM, BLAH..... Ford, Toyota, Fiat and Nissan did well. Best of all was to get to see the MD-Volt folks!

      We do have many pictures of the Spark in the album; sad to miss the Smart ED and Fit but c'est la vie, c'est la guerre.

    I wonder if we should try to update this to the snap I'm hoping to take of CO2Fre on the floor when or soon after Eric and I deliver it.

      Turns out Cement (Dark) is for white -A and Grey (White) is for everything else -B. I need to get a snap of Dave Davison's decal to write an FYI post about it.

      There are probably some side pictures of my Leaf on Diane's Facebook page. Maybe on mine but she posts a lot more pictures than I do. If you don't see anything useful, let me know and I'll email you some.

    My first auto show in awhile.
    Thanks mark for organizing and the tix.
    Be there today too

    Hey jeff, what's the contact info of Sean the EVA electrician you mentioned ?

    Joe and Erik, nice banter and will beta test
    What we talked about yesterday by
    Volunteering today in my professional demeanor of course so yeah very PC

    Remember, the myth behind electric cars
    Extends to the myth behind women
    Not liking cars in general
    The myth behind attractive women
    Not knowing car technology
    The myth behind single attractive women
    Going to auto shows or any other guy-centric event
    Just To check out guys :(
    The latter maybe partially :D
    But I'm one of the Many really interested
    In living and leading a simpler life
    One less carbon footprint at a time
    Namaste

      Beth, I thought it was going to be an uninteresting auto show, especially since the EVs and plug-in I wanted to see were not there. However, going through the show with you made it very entertaining. Your reaction to things was great and gave me many new perspectives in ways to look at things. Thanks for making the show fun for Eric and I.

    Goodness jeff haha
    No worries and no need to sound so defensive
    The comment was not directed to you
    Nor this group
    Youre reading way too much into it

    That pedantic yet spot on
    Editorial was an offshoot of the
    Robust chat I had with Joe and Erik
    On the "philosophical" use of energy
    And Various sundries
    And was actually a postscript to that conversation

    A myth in this context is a commonly held generalization
    Same as all nerds are unattractive
    Stereotypes are quite the timesavers :D

    It was great to have the meetup at the Auto Show. Too bad GM moved the ELR and the Spark out before we could see them!
