CxCC – Another Great DC Meetup

SXSW took over Austin, TX last week and CXCC took over Austin Grill in Bethesda, MD last night ! It was a rousing success. It started out innocent enough. Many of us were quite depressed and jealous we were not down in Austin with everyoe else last week and decided to get together and wallow in our misery together. Originally we tried to shoot for Monday, still while SXSW was going on, but time got away from us and we held the innaugural CXCC (Central by Central Central .. a fun little one given to us by @batterista) last night appropriately at the Austin Grill in Bethesda, MD.

In the beginning it was going to be just a few of us, but by the end it had turned into a full blown meetup with somewhere near 25 of us gatehring. It was a great time and we met some new people and got a chance to catch up with some old ones as well. The list was long, I will add the attendee's list in later, but we got to catch up with @newmediajim fresh off his trip to the Middle East, Afghanistan, and of course SXSW. Some complanied about having to come WAY OUT to the suburbs and tales of their arduous trek from the far away land called …Washington, DC (the DC line cant be more than 1.5 miles from the Austin Grill ..). The will be no names but DC Concierge, I think you know who I mean .

Anyway, I was happy to meet some new people working on some really cool stuff, look for a Local Focus on that soon. And it was again great to see the foundations of the local community continue to grow and add new people to the mix.
