The end of summer is upon us. Now, realistically, for most of us that
just means traffic’s going to start sucking more starting a little
before labor day, but we can pretend it means more. We can celebrate
the fact that I’ve moved, that school is starting, that fall is
coming . . . and that it’s DC Beer Week!

So, in honor of these, and because we haven’t really done it in a
while, I’m calling you all out for a pub crawl. It can be a civilized,
have only a few, go home at a reasonable hour pub crawl, but the plan
will be to hit a few neighboring bars and drink and snack along the
way in my new ‘hood. If this really sucks, we’ll go back to the normal
“plan” next month.

Remember, you can also follow us on Twitter at @CapSecDC, to find out exactly where we are as the evening wears on.

Star & Shamrock
1341 H St NE
Washington DC 20002

We will start at the Star and Shamrock on H Street around 6-ish,
because they have an interesting selection of not too expensive bar
snacks and good pints, and then roll out if we feel like it as the
evening wears on. I’ll likely end up at Little Miss Whiskey’s as my
end point, as a friend is dj-ing there later that night.

A word about H Street: It’s really not as far out or inaccessible as
it sounds. Read on for tips and tricks about getting there:

October’s CapSec will be on Wednesday, October 28th. Come see how much hair we’ve torn out two weeks before AppSecDC goes live.

Please note out new EARLIER start time, to accommodate those who don’t want to stay in the city til all hours. However, as I will be at the “new gig” that day, I can’t vouch that I will be able to make 5. If no one’s digging the earlier start time anymore, we may want to revise this going forward — though on the days I’ll be able to do it, I’ll be all about it.

We’re going to start around 5 PM. I don’t know if the weather will allow the back deck, we’ve been by the jukebox the last few times. As always, we may migrate upstairs later or down the street, depending on how the evening is going. Usually we’ve been rolling down to DC9 as the evening wears on.

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

August’s CapSec will be on Wednesday, August 26th.

Please note out new EARLIER start time, to accommodate those who don’t want to stay in the city til all hours.

We’re going to start at 5 PM. However, since someone already booked the upstairs bar, we are probably going to hit the road once it becomes crowded, and make our way down U Street. You have been warned. Subscribe to the CapSec DC Google Group or look for #CapSecDC on Twitter to find out where we are.

Come drown your sorrows at not being cool, rich, or recession proof enough to make it to Vegas this year with us on U Street.

We’ll raise a glass to the open bar at Caesar’s that evening, lamenting the 2400 mile void between us.

July’s CapSec will be on Wednesday, July 29th.

Please note out new EARLIER start time, to accommodate those who don’t want to stay in the city til all hours.

We’re going to start at 5 PM on the back deck, and we may migrate upstairs later or down the street, depending on how the evening is going.

Where did the month go? Don’t blame it on just taxes . . . but if you want to come grip about them, Mikeyy, RSA, or anything else that’s on your mind, we have good news for you.

CapSec DC is in two weeks!

CapSecDC
Wednesday February 25th, 7:00 PM

Stetson’s
1610 U St NW
Washington DC 20009

We return to Stetson after a many month absence. We will now be at the UPSTAIRS bar, go past the bouncer and up the stairs when you come in the door. We’ll have access to pitchers and wings as before, just a new, slightly more isolated (and quieter) environment.

I’ll try to wear a “hacker” t-shirt as I often do, look around for various “con” or geek shirts mixed in with people in govvie-wear to find the right crowd.

We reserve the right to change venues as the evening wears on — previously we have walked down U Street, other venues might include The Saloon or DC9. Call/email/twitter someone if you are showing up very late to check where we are.

Please RSVP here or on Upcoming if you know ahead of time that you can make it. For those of you Metro-ing, it’s 3.5 blocks from the U street Metro on the Green and Yellow lines (U Street Cardoza) Station. It’s a tad further from Dupont Circle on the Red Line, but quite doable.
