DC Night Out

The DC Night Out podcast is back again with a huge crowd at the M and S Grill.
Monday August 10th Podcast 1
Among those in the crowd and on the podcasts were
Milica Trpevska who has been visiting DC on a journalism internship from Masadonia from April-Aug 2009. Also visiting from PHX
Darrell Schandro of the
Blind Access Journal blog and podcast. The Journal was and is a pioneer in accessibility evangelism taking its routes in 2004 when blog and podcast were even less household names than they are in 2009. We also congratulate
The Geek News Central blog and podcast for its 500th show this week!

The next DC happy hour is scheduled for Monday August 24th!

DC Night Out will hold its next happy hour, podcast, and meeting on
Monday February 11, 2008
starting at about 5:00 P.M. at the
Washington Plaza Hotel lounge:

The 2008 American Council of the Blind legislative seminar is being held at this location.

You are invited to a holiday season DC Night Out happy hour being held at the M
And S Grill which is located less than one block from the Metro
Center rail station stop serving Blue, Orange and Red lines. The restaurant features a $2 appetizer and burger menu.

We even have Walking metro directionsfor people taking the metro!

At the event we will record a podcast which will be published on
DC Night Out. The podcasts have had varying themes and topics including a recent recording of one
of the regulars sky ddiving! One topic you might consider is to discuss any interesting gift items or services you have found this holiday season.

Looking forward to seing you on Monday!

From The Washington Post:
“The Townhouse Tavern in Dupont Circle is a true neighborhood bar — warm but lacking gimmickry.”

Besides happy hour, we’ll be doing a podcast that you can participate in. See the DC Night Out

As usual there has been a lot of activity and buzz since the last event which was our first podcast! DC Night Out now has 4 podcasts associated with the
blog. Also the podcast is now fully syndicated meaning that people with “podcatchers,” (that is software that retrieves podcasts) can subscribe to and
listen to our program.

See the DC Night Out site for more information, and all the buzz!

• Review of the Thursday May 26 Save RSA rally, and how the Association Of Blind Citizens provided
  a live audio webcast of the event to a sold out internet audience;
• Discuss plans for the next DC Night Out, and possibly doing a live audio webcast in addition to the now usual podcast
• Discuss plans for attending summer conventions, and what may be the buzz at these events.

Looking forward to seing you on Tuesday!

Washington Night Out: Tuesday May 17

• The BNO is renound for providing attendees, and once in a while even casual Evite readers, with insider tips you wont’ read elsewhere. If you plan
  to attend the 2005 ACB National Convention you might think you must pay their proprietary $77
  nightly room rate. However, if you book through internet sites like Vegas.com you can score these rooms for as little
  as $49! But don’t tell too many people, or this will surely skew the official convention room booking process. Also you might want to read a book like
  Comp
  City: A Guide To Free Las Vegas Vacations to learn the ways of sin city.
• Here’s one from Jeffrey Wilson out of Boston, another past BNO attendee. If you use the NFB Newsline service, you undoubtedly know that after login
  you must repeatedly listen to a pre-recorded informational message. However, what you probably don’t know is that when the system says”to log in as (YourName)
  press 1,” if you press 11 very quickly, you will bypass the post-login informational messages;
• And here’s one more from yours truly. Those of you in the DC metro area undoubtedly know that Independence Air has
  drastically lowered your air fares. You have likely benefitted from FlyI even if you still fly the legacy big six airlines as they have forced air fares
  down out of IAD and sometimes even DCA. Right now you can save an additional 20% off of FlyI’s low fares, through this exclusive Business
  Week Savings Offer. Despite having a good reputation for customer service, FlyI needs your business now more than ever in its quest to merely survive
  amidst a bad operating environment for airlines.
• Recently I have also been intrigued by podcasting, and have been on the Blind Podcasting list. I am thinking of a BNO podcast, so be ready if I interview
  you. I am thinking of a format, where after having a few drinks, we go around the table and just talk about some interesting thing on our minds.
• Here’s one originally emailed by Peter! The 2005 ACB Online Convention Registration
  is now available. This year the service is much improved, and among other features, let’s you save and come back to your form on the web

Looking forward to seing you. Here is the if you need it to RSVP.
