We’ve been making noise about migration, but we’re still at Fado in Chinatown this week. Come join us!

There’s no event at the Arena this month, so we should be in decent shape for seating. We’ll be meeting some around 6:30.

Our goal is the nooks to the left on the left half of the restaurant (if you look at it from the street). If you were at the AppSec DC VIP in 2010, you know where that is. I’ll be watching Twitter aggressively to see if people are having trouble finding us. I will be coming up from Alexandria that day, so I might not be there right at 6:30, though I am hoping to be.

Driving in Chinatown is pretty awful, however (not that U Street was better). However, if you are willing to go a few blocks over, there are (rush hour zones not-withstanding, but that’s a problem everywhere) plenty of places to park on the outskirts of Chinatown and walk in.

You can also follow us on Twitter at @CapSecDC, to find out where we are later in the evening if we decide to migrate somewhere later.

We’ve also “got group” here if you want to join in the discussion because you miss us so much.

Yes folks, CapSec is NEXT WEEK. And we keep talking about trying new places.

So, THIS WEEK, a few of us are going to stop conjecturing about different venues, and put things to the test — we’re going to meet up in Chinatown at RFD at  5:30 PM THIS Wednesday the 18th, and check out a bunch of different venues between there and Dupont. Then hopefully instead of jerking everyone’s chain each month, we’ll have a better idea of what works and what doesn’t, and will make a much more informed new suggestion. We’d like to invite you all to join us (though we really didn’t give advance notice).

Having these on off-CapSec weeks could become a trend if the weather stays nice

Currently, we are looking at hitting:

Chinatown
RFD — http://www.lovethebeer.com/rfd.html
Redline — http://dcredline.com/

Metro Center
The Laughing Man Tavern — http://laughingmantavern.com/location.html
The Hamilton — http://www.thehamiltondc.com/restaurant

Dupont
Helix – http://www.yelp.com/biz/helix-lounge-washington <– I’m assuming this is the Helix people talk about — haven’t been there myself

At 30+ minutes a venue plus walk/bus/taxi/train/uber, that’s a pretty full evening. I take no offense if no one shows up. But I hope to see some of you all out there! I’ll try to keep Twitter updated with what we are planning.

AppSec DC is almost upon us! It’s not too late to sign up or volunteer!

Regardless of what you are doing for AppSec, come out to CapSec at Fado in Chinatown the week before!

There’s no event at the Arena this month, so we should be in decent shape for seating. We’ll be meeting some around 6:30.

Our goal is the nooks to the left on the left half of the restaurant (if you look at it from the street). If you were at the AppSec DC VIP party last year, you know where that is.

In trying to find a “new home,” this month we’ll be at Fado in Chinatown. It has the better geographic location that a lot of people have been asking for (central, and near almost all the metro lines), and it’s been good to OWASP DC in the past.

Driving in Chinatown is pretty awful, however (not that U Street was better). However, if you are willing to go a few blocks over, there are (rush hour zones not-withstanding, but that’s a problem everywhere) plenty of places to park on the outskirts of Chinatown and walk in.

We’ll be meeting some around 6. Our goal is the nooks along the bar on the left half of the restaurant (if you look at it from the street). If you were at the AppSec DC VIP party last year, you know where that is. I’ll be watching Twitter aggressively to see if people are having trouble finding us. I will be coming up from Alexandria that day, so I might not be there right at 6, though I am hoping to be.

My apologies for the last minute update. It’s been pushed out via email & twitter, but not here.

We will NOT be at Stetson’s this month. In fact, we are looking for a new home. Likely to be in the Chinatown or Metro Center area.

However, this month, we were invited to http://aparty.eventbrite.com/. If you can make it down there, we’ll see you! If not, we’ll see you back in DC next month (in November).

We’ll be meeting some time after Stetson’s opens at 5 PM. Hang out if no one’s there right away. People will show up, they always do.

This month, unless it is pouring down, we are going to try to do the back patio in celebration of the cooler weather! So, get there early to help us grab tables!

If DC is still standing, come join us for CapSec DC on the 31st of August at Stetson’s.

We’ll be meeting some time after Stetson’s opens at 5 PM. Hang out if no one’s there right away. People will show up, they always do. Check upstairs once the upstairs is open, we usually end up there hanging out with Molly unless there’s a special event going on.

Tax day has come and gone, but CapSec still endures!

Come join us next week on the 27th of March at Stetson’s. As (mostly) always, the last Wednesday of the month! A lot of cons have flown by recently, and I’m interested in hearing from those who made it out to them. Also, we just missed Molly’s birthday, so we should stop up and wish her a happy birthday!

We’ll be meeting some time after Stetson’s opens at 5 PM. Hang out if no one’s there right away. People will show up, they always do. If it’s nice, we might sit out back for a bit.
