I love the UX community here in the DC area and I'd like to have a way to keep us meeting throughout the year. The UX Dinner DC group will have a slight structure to its meetups - we pick a UX-oriented topic for each meal, try and loosely stick to the topic as we eat, drink and be merry, and network with other UX-types. I'd like to keep the meal group meetups small (no more than 8 people) for a couple of reasons - the first being that it's easier to get reservations for 8 or less; second, I thi …
