Did you miss our gatherings of Sporkful Eaters in New York and Honolulu? Can't make it to the meetup in Chicago this Friday? Was it because you live in DC and those are awfully long hauls for happy hour drinks? Then mark your calendar for Monday, July 25th, because this is the meetup for you.

I happen to be in Washington that night and happen to enjoy drinks, so I figured I'd enjoy my beverages even more in the company of some local Eaters. Gather your friends, Sporkful Eaters or not, and join me from 5-7p at Lincoln, when their happy hour menu will be in force. Red line to Farragut North or Orange/Blue to McPherson Square: 1110 Vermont Ave. NW. (Thanks, DC-based Sporkful Eaters for suggesting the place, including esteemed fun-loving Washington journalist Todd Zwillich, the first to suggest it.)

I'll have a few Sporkful t-shirts with me on sale for $20. If you want to make sure I have enough in your size, e-mail me and I'll set it aside for you. Consider it your patriotic duty to display your Sporkful Eater status in garment form! /mark
