Fr. Z. has an update on the Blognic plans:

23 April 2010

BLOGNIC FINAL! Sat. 24 April - 4-7 pm - The Dubliner - NEW POLL

CATEGORY: Blognics — Fr. John Zuhlsdorf @ 4:13 pm

The Washington DC blognic will be at

The Dubliner
202.737.3773

520 N Capitol Street Northwest
Washington, DC 20001-1510

4-7 pm recommended

Get Directions
(202) 737-3773

One of the participants is going to call to let them know we are descending on them so there may be a room for us.

The Dubliner is located within the Phoenix Park Hotel one block from Union Station which has DC Metro and Amtrak.

I think this would be best because, I am told, the area around Col. Brooks, also recommended, was perhaps a little rough for people who have to walk.

There may be some live Irish music later.  I don’t know about Chinese opera.

The Dubliner seems to be just a Metro stop away from Catholic University where the Shrine is.

It is on the Senate side of the Capitol and the Senate won’t be in session.  That will help with parking.   It is not in walking distance of the Shrine, but it is not hard to reach.

Remember: Blognics are not formal.  They are not sit down meals.  People come and go between the start and end times established (we still have to do that, btw).  You pay for your own drinks or food or snacks…. or for someone elses as you choose.  No expectations other than to come and meet other people who happen to be readers of this or other blogs.

Other bloggers please participateThis is a blognic, after all.



Will you attend a blognic at The Dubliner after the Mass on Sat, 24 April?

Unfortunately, my oldest son started coming down with a virus when we got to the Basilica, and by the time we got to the blognic, he was wiped out. So we didn’t stay long and were not able to meet up with anyone. Sorry, I was really looking forward to meeting everyone.
