Folks! Sova is located in the Atlas District / Trinidad area of DC, not right next to the Mall. DC is going to be very congested, and Sova is not near a Metro stop. Sorry about that. But please try to come! We'll have some drinks and nibbles and Flickry stuff. And we'd really like to meet you!

I live right outside of DC but it will probably be easier for me to make the San Francisco event :D

I live pretty close by (Bloomingdale). If we can't get into the venue we have tickets for watching the parade (they've warned us that security may close the Mall after a certain number of people), this will be our alternative.

Sova is easy to get to. Just get off at China Town metro and take the X2 down.

"Just a warning!!!!! This is NOT the best of areas. Please becarful around there."

I've lived in NE for 15 years, I think that's a bit of an over-reaction. I walk from my house to the H Street bars all the time and have never felt unsafe. Diversity is not a bad thing! :)

cdtiffanymd Heh heh.I live just a few blocks from SOVA. It's a nice area of Capitol Hill. :) Just be as careful as you would anywhere else.

Everyone, there's also a great coffeehouse just a block from Union Station. It's called Ebenezers at 201 F Street NE. It's not SOVA, so there may be no other Flickrites, but if you need a quick cup of coffee, they'll be open.

Great idea and I would love to come, but seriously I live about 6 miles away and there is no way to get there on inauguration day other than to walk.

I'm going to the inaugurqtion, I'm coming from Belgium. I see that flying is out so I may come by bus. If anyone is leaving Chicago email me at kenyatta.artist@yahoo.co.uk. I have a place to stay so if you are driving thats good also.

@sableman - that is such a bummer. I'm going to be staying in VA, taking Metro in as far as I can, and then bussing from there...

I would love to come to a Flickr meetup but the location makes this a bit problematic as getting there from the Mall will be interesting. IF the buses are running regular schedules then the X2 will be great.

I'll try to make it! Getting around seems to be a question for a lot of people. I'm not sure if I'll be on foot - and if so, it should be easy to walk from the mall to the X2 near union station - unless of course its wall to wall people. Otherwise I might park my scooter at a friends house on 3rd street ne and scoot over. People should note that vehicles allowed on the bridges include cabs. Its pretty easy to get to 13th and H avoiding downtown, but don't take metro! Bikes are always good. DC is mostly flat.

I'll be getting off the train coming in from Philadelphia...It looks like Sova is an easy walk from the train station, is this correct? Maybe two miles or so?

You can easily walk to SOVA from Union Station or the Capitol. If you don't like walking, you can jump on the X8 bus from Union Station and it will take you to SOVA's door - http://www.wmata.com/bus/timetables/dc/x8.pdf

Hello! I am staying in Leesburg, Northern Virginia, since yesterday night (I come from especially from Paris, France), and I hope I will be able to come to the meeting! Could you just please tell which is the closest metro station? See you soon! Cyril

tarakirchner wrote:

Hi Cyril, have a look at digitaleffie's comment above, the Union Station looks to be a good bet. Sova is on H Street and you'll be on/near H street at that stop. Take a bus down H or perhaps walk. I'm going to try that today so that I know what I'm talking about...

Also, from grumpyjr88: Sova is easy to get to. Just get off at China Town metro and take the X2 down.

Reminder to check for closures!

How was the meetup? I made the mistake of stopping by my house on the way to SOVA and was so exhausted that I sleep for several hours and I missed it. :(
