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.
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.
