DC Blogger Meetup @ Madams Organ

I was lucky enough to attend the DC Bloggers at their second meetup tonight in Adams Morgan. I was able to chat with blogging veterans like Shevonne, Mike and Yali as well as fresh faced comedian Leon.

Talking to about a dozen well connected and experienced local bloggers was fun and helpful. It was interesting to see the diversity of attendees and how people where using social networks, Twitter, etc in different ways to reach their respective audiences.

I recommended joining networks like FriendFeed and Meetup to prevent missing out in local events like this one.

IndeBleu and Chloe

IndeBleu features a swank first floor bar which offered a great deal of a $5 open bar until 10pm.

The music was loud enough to inspire quite a few people to start bumping on the "dance floor" section, while American Gangster strangely started being projected on two walls of the club.

I enjoyed the decor of the venue, but think the $5 coat check is pretty steep.

After leaving the always lively China Town, we found our way into an 80s night party at Chloe Adams Morgan. Despite the rain there was enough legwarmers and fanny packs to make the trip worthwhile, even if I didn't get a chance to grab a jumbo slice of pizza next door.
