Off to attend the D.C. Blogger 3rd of July Celebration.
We’re meeting at Rendezvous Lounge (“conveniently located at the scenic intersection of 18th Street and Kaloramaâ€) somewhere around 8 p.m., with those wishing to have dinner first meeting at 7 and eating at the little restaurant next door. If you’re in the area and have nothing better to do (a good bet if you’re reading this), drop on by.
UPDATE (7/4): A small but enjoyable gathering. Mark the Pundit chronicles the event.

As every schoolboy knows, the Declaration of Independence was actually signed on July 3, 1776, with only a few laggards delaying the final signature to July 4. To commemorate the actual 228th birthday of the U.S. (plus, it’s a Saturday and I’ll be at a barbecue* cookout on the 4th) I’ve semi-organized a get-together of DC area bloggers.
It was originally going to feature the presence of one C. Dodd Harris, Esq. of Ipse Dixit, but his sojourn to DC was canceled and he decided it probably wasn’t worth coming in all the way from Kentucky to consume alcohol, since they have some there. Jim Henley of Unqualified Offerings and tequila mockingbird’s Julia have more or less committed to coming. Several others may or may not come, depending on whether they have something better to do.
The plan is to gather at the Rendezvous Lounge (“conveniently located at the scenic intersection of 18th Street and Kalorama“) somewhere around 8 p.m., with those wishing to have dinner first meeting at 7 and eating at the little restaurant next door. (Its name escapes me but Julian Sanchez, Matt Yglesias, Radley Balko, and I ate there once and lived to tell the tale.)
Anyone who writes a blog, reads a blog, or has heard of a blog is invited.
(more…)
I’m wimping out. We did a day trip to the mountains today, so I’ve already spent 4 hours in the minivan and I totally not motivated to drive the hour into DC.
Enjoy! I’ll catch the next one.
Only a few of us showed, but a good time was had by all …
Ugh. Wish I had noticed the invite sooner. I was free. A pity.
Pictures?
I had fun — thanks for organizing it! You missed out on the late night Ben’s Chili Bowl, though.
