We (four of us so far that I’m aware of) will meet for dim sum at 11:30 this morning at Lei Garden, 629 H St., N.W. That’s on the north side of the street. This will be a weekly event through December. Join us if you’re in the mood.

I couldn't come this week, but am hoping to come sometime this fall. It would be nice if there could be a post where people could post that they are planning to come (so those like me, who have some ability to come at different times, could come if someone else we'd particularly like to meet will be there).
