Our third event was our best one yet, with 10 people showing up, achieving 100% attendance . (When does that ever happen?!) The atmosphere was really lively. My place can easily handle more than double that number, so join us at our fourth event!
As always, the event will be held in my apartment building, The Edmund, which is located directly above the Wegmans in Reston. Even if you've come to previous events, please read these details, as they have one reminder and one change from previous events:
Please bring a bottle of wine and at least one cup to sample everyone's wines. (There's a sink to wash out the cups. You're free to bring more than one cup, though, if you like. Since my apartment building literally is the same building that contains a Wegmans, you can buy a bottle of wine and a few disposable cups there if you're coming straight from work.
Meetup charges me $180 every six months to be an organizer, so please bring $1 to help defray this cost . (A few people forgot about this last time.) Hope this massive sum doesn't break the bank. :-)
Wegmans offers free parking, so park there. We'll meet in the Wegmans food court on the first floor of Wegmans. (There's also an upper deck to the food court.)
Please try to be at the meeting place a few minutes ahead of time. The elevator in my building is access controlled, so it's easiest if we all go up together as a group. (Once the event starts, I try to pay attention to everyone and not check my phone too much.) If you want to come to the event but you know that you'll be an hour late (or something like that), please message me, and I can arrange a time to meet you in the lobby of my apartment complex. Please don't abuse this offer. Besides these possible one-off cases, I'd like to bring everyone up together at 6:30 PM, from the food court.
I'm usually wiped out at the end of the week. If I get tired, I might bail a little early, but you are all free to keep reveling up there until you're ready to go home. :-)
Looking forward to seeing you all!
