The DC Convention Center is only a few blocks from the Washington Plaza... after the W2 ball ends, many folks will probably do as they did in 2001, and head out into the lobby and bar area (where we can smoke) to continue socializing. Think about stopping by afterwards, if you and your wife aren't exhausted from working at the official ball.
P.S. Thanks to you and your wife, for being volunteers with the PIC. I know you guys are working very long hours.
I'm certain that all of you in the DC Chapter have been working much harder than I have... between the preparations for the Freeper Ball, securing permits for the parade, and everything else you're doing. I'm always impressed by your energy and dedication.
There are many PIC volunteers who have been working with little sleep over the past few weeks. My "real" job has kept me from getting that involved.
We may try to stop by the Washington Plaza afterwards, but we won't be certain of our exact schedule and duties until this Saturday.
