To say goodbye to summer (more of a “don’t let the door hit you,”) we’ll be meeting up on the Stetson’s back patio this month, with a possible later trip to see what the new DC9 deck is like.

We’ll be meeting some time after Stetson’s opens at 5 PM. Doug will be late this week, but you can party on with out him. Hang out if no one’s there right away. People will show up, they always do.

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.

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.

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:

Each year around this time, we’re faced with a tough decision. 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.

Since the weather’s been nice, look for us out on the back deck. If the weather is crappy for some reason, 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.

This month, in honor of Gal “Don’t Tweet That” Shpantzer’s generous pledge to humiliate himself in front of the masses, we will be doing a fundraiser for Hackers for Charity to try to meet the goal which will make Gal shave parts of his head and impersonate Sascha Konietzko at B-Sides Boston. 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.

. . . is THIS Wednesday.

Come out this month and discuss what you did over the Shmoocon, what you did to combat the Advanced Precipitation Threat, and buy Mike S a drink!

Look for us by the jukebox or the front door if upstairs isn’t open yet, or upstairs if it is. Recently we’ve been rolling down to DC9 as the evening goes on.

Come out this month and discuss what you did over the holidays, what Google did over the holidays, what you are going to do at Shmoocon, and what Apple did that morning (who knows, finally the iPooed?)

We’ll be meeting some time after Stetson’s opens at 5 PM. Doug may not be there right at 5 due to “new gig,” but hang out if no one’s there right away. People will show up, they always do.

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.

Hope to see you there!

September’s CapSec will be on Wednesday, September 30th.

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.
