Washington, DC (USA)

[work - took Metro to Mount Vernon Square and walked to the Walter E. Washington Convention Center for the ATCA Annual (arrived at around 1530) - registered and then walked the floor - looked for my company booth (found it and said hi to Arnie, Iman, Scott P and Tony T) - walked around to other booths and met up with Charlie, Tim, Luke, Sean G, Arnie, Ray P, Jim R, Kelly, Jim L, Scott A, Tabitha, Greta, Aaron, George B, Mel, Bahar, Anetra, Bob M, etc.) - went to a happy hour, hosted by Frequentis, from 1600-1700 - walked with crowd of friends to the Marriott hotel (about two blocks away) - had drinks at the Dignitary Bar and then met up with another crowd in Lobby Bar - followed Arnie to the SpacialFront Afterparty (1830) and met the CEO - hung out with several engineers, including Tasha - walked down the street (north) to the Baby Wale (for the Thales Afterparty) but the line to get in was too big - walked the opposite direction until I reached Cuba Libre (1930), there the Veracity Afterparty was already humming - inside, I found most of the folks I'd talked to at ATCA - stayed for over an hour, mostly talking with Greta, Tom and Warren - Greta offered me a ride, so I walked with her and Tom to Portals III (via Metro Yellow to L'Enfant) - she drove me back to my apartment (after she learned that Tom didn't actually need a ride to Springfield Metro, he needed one to Burke...) - I was home at around 2130]
