There are several great places in and around Shaw to watch the election results this rainy Tuesday night: from newcomer Busboys and Poets in CityVista to Nellie’s at 9th and U, it’s sure to be an exciting evening. So where do you plan to be when we find out who our next president is?

This month, Busboys and Poets was kind enough to offer the second floor of their new restaurant and some lip-smacking finger foods for our meeting. I felt it was a big success and hope we can return their soon. Thanks, Busboys!

Our guests tonight included Chris Otten of the DC Library Dynamos, and ANC candidates Theresa Sule and Jessica Lanza.

Here are the meeting notes.

I know we yearn for early morning weekend breakfast but we shall have to wait a few weeks.  BBs will open at 11am this saturday & sunday.  They did say they plan to change to 9am, maybe at the end of the month.  That would be so much better…as another neighbor said to me in the grocery store the other day, I got stuff to do!
