I messaged with ^redacted‌ who put together a similar event in September, which she tells me was well attended.

I am proposing a similar meetup. I see that you registered for Paolo's meeting so I am tagging you here in case you are interested in this gathering I am proposing.

If you can't make it, but would like to be added to a virtual group, I am happy to create a WhatsApp group. Feel free to DM me your number if you are interested in that.

Hello everyone, I added the meeting location. I figured a quiet hotel lobby that has a cafe with a seating area where we can grab coffee and simple snacks (nothing fancy) might be best for a small group. If you have other recommendations, I am happy to consider it. Otherwise, I look forward to seeing all of you at the Hampton Inn Washington-Dulles Int'l Airport South on Saturday, at noon on 11/23. Thanks!
