Tons of infosec folks make their way out to Vegas for Black Hat and/or Defcon, leaving those who are not so lucky or flexible in their schedules behind to lick our wounds and think of the parties we are missing. So we are faced with the choice of having CapSec early so we can say a fond farewell to those journeying out, or having it during the con, missing half our crew, and drinking to spite them.

This year, we’re going the early route. CapSec DC will be on July 21st. Standard spiel follows:

We’ll be meeting some time after Stetson’s opens at 5 PM. Doug may not be there right at 5, but you can party on with out him. Hang out if no one’s there right away. People will show up, they always do.

If it’s not a furnace out, look for us out on the back deck. If that fails, look for us by the jukebox or the front door if upstairs isn’t open yet, or upstairs if it is. Some nights we’ve been rolling down to DC9 as the evening goes 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.

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

You show up, give me some cash, and I’ll add it all together for a donation to HFC on behalf of CapSec and the Hairless Gal fund.

Please note out new EARLIER start time, to accommodate those who don’t want to stay in the city til all hours. Yes, it’s the same night as the New Model Army concert — if people feel that strongly, let me know. CapSec goes to H Street would be wack some time.

We’re going to start around 5 PM, ideally on the back deck as soon as it opens. We may migrate upstairs later or down the street, depending on how the evening is going.

I’m hoping for beautiful fall weather, so we can enjoy the patio. If we are not there, check the by the jukebox or upstairs.
