Later this month (March 20-22) I will be headed down to Washington DC to check out the national museum of natural history, the national zoo, etc. (It's about time, especially since I blog for Smithsonian...) I would love to set aside some time to meet some DC-area bloggers and readers while I'm there, though, so if you would like to organize a meet-up just say so in the comments. I'll work out the details once I know whether anyone is interested.

Caroline Crocker taught creationism in some DC-area colleges, and the colleges didn't renew her contract, so she was put on wingnut welfare with a gig at the ID creationist IDEA center.
For my DC peeps: I've been helping one of my colleagues with an event for college journalists, to be held next Friday at NIH (Bethesda, MD).
DC-area readers, mark your calendars: Alison Bass, an award-winning journalist and Pulitzer Prize nominee, will be here at George Washington University on Wednesday, March 18th, to speak about why the system of drug research and development in the United
I'm a DC area chap and certainly a regular follower here. I'm not free on Saturday (wine tasting party at a friends up near Baltimore) but mobile the rest of the weekend.
Oh, thats a shame, Washington DC is in another continent :(
Still, if you are ever in the UK I'm pretty sure I know almost all the places of Zoological interest in London.
While I would have loved to met up with you then, I will actually be in Arizona at that time! (Spring Break field course).
By the way, have you contacted either Matt Carrano or Mike Brett-Surman to meet you at the Smithsonian: they might be able to show you around (at least on Friday).
Joe; Thanks. I will keep you posted.
Rosel; Too bad. I might be over in the UK in October, but I won't know for a few months yet.
Dr. Holtz; Rats! I certainly wish I could be in the field over spring break, too, so perhaps some other time. I think the staff at the Smithsonian magazine is organizing something for me with Matt and/or Mike, and I'm definitely looking forward to that.
I'm local...and I require no motivation to go to the zoo, if that were to be a reasonable place to say hello.
Even if that doesn't work out, the National Zoo is wonderful to go early. The grounds open at 7 and the peaceful early hours are a great to see some of the outdoor animals wandering around, feeding and playing.
I'm local, and a meet up sounds cool to me. (Sorry for being a bit late, I've been way behind on my RSS feeds due to school, etc -- finally starting to get semi-current, being only two days behind instead of two months :P )
I'm local, and I'll be back from a week in Texas on the 20th. If something is set up, let me know and I may be able to join. Or I could meet you at or near the zoo on either the 21st or 22nd.
