Talking about TV
May. 23rd, 2011 11:51 amzviIf you’re in Washington on Tuesday and don’t have anything to do after work, come out and meet Alyssa Rosenberg! She’s doing a panel on feminism and television at the Women’s Information Network along with veteran entertainment reporter and American University professor Lorrie Lynch Meier and Howard University’s Tia Tyree. The conversation kicks off at 6:30 at 1900 L Street NW, and I imagine it could move to drinks afterwards.

The library closes at five, so we can't go later, but the room is available earlier than our two o'clock start. Should the party start at noon?

Mar. 11th, 2010 01:08 amzviIf someone who has a DC library card/driver's license/one card would like to reserve room A9 at Martin Luther King library (901 G St NW, near Metro Center and Gallery Place Metro stations) on May 8 for the afternoon, we could get started planning on who is bringing what.
I favor this plan because it is easily Metro accessible, DC library meeting rooms are free, and this room has WiFi, which is great for us if we need/want it. Also, if we want to decamp to a bar/restaurant, that can be done.
(May 8 is the Saturday closest to the Open Beta Day that this room is available. If people who are interested in attending are not available on May 8, we can cancel the reservation w/o losing anything.)
