Calling all Hacker News readers in the NOVA/DC metro area

Just read a great string of comments by HN readers in the DC area. (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=629040) This inspired me to create a Hacker News group on Meetup.com.

Join if you live in the area, and come on out for beers.

I just joined. DC is getting some momentum-- there is a great PHP community here and there were decent number of start-ups at the AWS Start-up event today. A lot of the DC tech business is federal government or contractor-related and not as visible as the consumer start-ups out west.

Make sure you add any meetups to http://www.dctechevents.com/. That's what I've been using to track local events.

10 members in the last hour. Good call there RKlophaus!

[Edit: 22 in 2 hours! Holly crap, we ROCK!]

Upvoted for the town I once called home during college! Good luck!

I'm nearer Baltimore, but the drive will be worth it.

Joined. Thanks!

Awesome turn around.

Joined. I've been thinking we need a group here in the DC area. Nice going!

Just joined. Good call!

Just joined. Good call on getting this started

Joinning. Awsome.

I love how most DC meetups end up in Arlington or Silver Spring.
