The Rogues of the Skeptic’s Guide to the Universe podcast are going
to be in Washington, D.C., and you have the opportunity to meet
them! Join us on Saturday, December 1 from 6:00 – 8:00 pm at the
Cambria Hotel lounge, located at 899 O St NW in Washington, DC. The
lounge has full dinner service as well as a bar. Pick up the new
book The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe: How to Know What's Really
Real in a World Increasingly Full of Fake beforehand and they will
be happy to sign it for you (available at Amazon.com and other
online booksellers).
For those thinking of attending the SGU meetup, here is some
important information regarding how to get there.
For those coming by Metro from Greenbelt and points after, the Shaw
– Howard University station is where you'd want to exit. It is a 0.3
mile walk from the Shaw station to the hotel. Red Line riders may,
if they wish, walk 0.7 miles from the Gallery Place station to the
hotel, or take a free shuttle to the Mt. Vernon Sq. station and walk
0.3 miles, or take bus 70. There will be no Yellow Line service at
all on Dec. 1. Metro track work schedules are subject to change, so
if you are coming by Metro, be sure to check their website before
heading out.
Parking in the garage at 1415 9th Street NW will be $6.00 per hour
according to Colonial Parking. However, any special events that
night might affect the cost.

is the official podcast of the New England Skeptical Society. The
show features discussions of recent scientific developments in
layman's terms, and interviews authors, people in the area of
science and other famous skeptics. The show also includes
discussions of myths, conspiracy theories, pseudoscience, the
paranormal, and many general forms of superstition, from the point
of view of scientific skepticism.” (Wikipedia.org)
