DC Even Happier Hour
Not to be competitive, but the DC happy hour kicked ass. Huge thanks to everyone who came out. And yes, we'll be doing it again. I was thinking a daily Feministing happy hour, but apparently that's unwise.
Highlights of the evening for me included the extensive signage, one soul brave enough to ask half a dozen strangers if they where looking for us, Ann trying to sneak out early, and of course, meeting all those great people. Those of you who attended, what did you like best? And where should we go next time?

Does D.C. have a mailing list like NYC does? 'Cause if so, I'd like to get on it . . . .
Well gosh, it was more like 3 strangers. And only the last dude at the bar gave me an especially "oddball" stare. But inside? Oh he totally was thinking "feminism yay!".
What did I like best... the bombastic heavy chairs? I think next time we should try and find a place with more seatage. Has anyone been to the Science Club? No cider, but its got a really nice atmosphere.
hi! may i suggest age inclusive dc events? falafel hours, may haps?
i'm really excited by the prospect.
Aw, SHOOT! I somehow missed this.
I got stuck at work -- let's do it again as I am eager to hang with others who think Feministing rocks!! How about a monthly happy hour/other event?
the science club is nice, but a bit pricey (at least for us non-profit foot soldiers) - unless they have some good happy hr specials of which i'm not aware?
the bottom line on I St is ok, if you like the scattered suit-and-cigar after work crowd :) but actually it's got decent happy hr deals and a decent amount of tables.
wherever the next one is, i'll be there :)
Olympic identity cards were mailed to National Olympic Committees six months prior to the Games to provide for issues to all members of the International Olympic Committee, International Federations and National Olympic Committees who proposed to come to the Games, and for competitors and officials sent to Grenoble by the various National Olympic Committees. Identity cards were also on issue to accredited pressmen, broadcasters and photographers.
In all 8,037 identity cards were sent to Secretaries of National Olympic Committees for use—280 green, 7,311 blue and 446 orange cards. The numbers were estimated at this end and in only a few instances was it necessary to send Secretaries extra supplies.
As with previous Games, arrangements were made with the Government for these identity cards, subject to compliance with instructions that were issued with them, to be recognized as valid passports for entry into France. One proviso of the Immigration Department was that all cards be issued under the authorization of the National Olympic Committees. The Commonwealth Government dispensed with the payment of visa fees for visitors coming to Grenoble for the Games.
The card provided space for particulars and photograph of the holder, which had to be completed and certified by the National Olympic Committee of the country concerned and signed by the holder. Provision was made for the appropriate government authority in the holder's own country to certify the card as a valid passport permitting the person concerned to depart from his own country, travel to Grenoble and return to his country.
