I second Big Hunt. Stevie, it's on Connecticut near the south Dupont Circle metro entrance. Let's do no later than 6 so we can get at least an hour of happy hour prices.

I like Big Hunt, but I don't think I could get there before 8:30. (I'm working in Ashburn, VA currently, and will be leaving here at 6:30 at the earliest.)

I am no fan of Stop the Machine--all signs I recognize suggest they're a front for the Int'l Socialist Organization trying to hijack the Occupy momentum for their own ends, because that's the kind of thing the ISO does. After OWS became a thing the Stop the Machine leaders started throwing the word Occupy into all their press stuff & online engagement. V distasteful tactics imo, but I've got a short fuse when it comes to authoritarian ideological hijackers like them.
Stop the Machine's permit to be in Freedom Plaza expires tonight, so their plan was to hoedown in Freedom Plaza til midnight and then pack up and either go home or join up with the #occupy crew at McPherson. #Occupy is expecting to grow by another hundred or so tonight as a result.

And it’s also cool. Some have probably moved to D.C. because they’ve heard it’s a cool city to live in, though not to the extent of Portland.”

Does every location have to be compared to Brooklyn...
