On Saturday some members of the 75 Books Challenge for 2011 group met up in Washington, D.C. for a day of book-shopping, refreshments, and conviviality. The day was organized by drneutron, and attended by mrsdrneutron, SqueakyChu, qebo, AnneDC, _Zoe_, and norabelle414.
After lunch at BGR Dupont Circle (which looks scrumptious, by the way), they visited Kramer Books & Afterwords for some new-book shopping, before crossing Dupont Circle for used and rare books at Second Story Books (which looks even more scrumptious!). Post-shopping refreshments were enjoyed at Soho Tea and Coffee, where the group documented their “demands” and took a poll:

Excellent event and a handsome looking group, too. Congratulations.
Looks like a fun day! Am I the only one who specifically enlarged that first picture so I could read the titles on the books?
If Dr. Neutron is a girl, shouldn’t it be Dr. Neutrona?
Oops. I think I read the caption of names wrong… 🙁
Well, we did have mrsdrneutron with us, but she was taking the picture! 🙂
