CC+ Blog - DC Meetup!Aug 28 2007 14:33
It was a real treat to be able to make it to another DC meetup this past Saturday - both Igor and I had a real blast and enjoyed seeing some familiar faces as well as getting to meet some great new ones!
After a quick train trip down from NYC, we made our way on the metro to King Street Blues restaurant in Crystal City, giving ourselves plenty of time to put together some gift bags for the meetup members. Soon after we spotted clairelaine outside the restaurant and got the party started! More Calorie Counters started arriving and pretty soon we had a real party going in our little corner of the restaurant.
We enjoyed a great lunch and had a chance to get to know each other, exchange some funny stories, and talk about Calorie Count Classic and Plus. Some great feedback and ideas were shared and Igor and I will be busy working on a lot of the suggestions we heard.
After enjoying our meal and taking some pictures, a smaller group of us headed out in the 90-something heat to check out the Air and Space Museum. What a blast! I've been hoping to visit for years but never got the chance. It's really amazing to see and touch such important components of mankind's quest to explore the skies and heavens.
Before we knew it, an amazing day had come to an end and it was time for Igor and I to catch a train back to New York. Thanks to everyone that could make it and we hope to see you all again at another meetup soon!

It was great to meet you too!!! fyi, it topped of at 101 that day. Blech! It was great fun and wonderful company! I'm still laughing about Keri's hubby eating the chipwich and Igor asking him if he was going to log it and journal about it. lololol!!! |
That is so awesome. I am so jealous and wish I could have been there. Maybe next time you can not go as far south and we can do the Inner Harbor in Baltimore????? And, the Baltimore Zoo or something. Just a thought :) |
You guys are so awesome. You take the time to stay in touch with the users and visit with them live. You have so much good Karma around you. We are very lucky to have this site and what it has done to change our life. AND next time there is a north east meetup I will try to be there if I can so I can thank you in person! |
jealous! you two were so cute and fun last time. Plus, it was nice to know how much you care for the site and all of us! I'll be at the next one! |
Baltimore sounds like a great idea! I can get there on the train too, and I love the inner harbor area. |
I would love to meetup in Baltimore. I wish I would have found out earlier about this one. I would have been there. |
Yea!! Baltimore supporters :) |
Why do I always miss the meet by like a month... or like the time before this one, a day? :( Someone please email me next time so I can join the fun! |
