DC Kidlit Drinks night: who's in?

Sure, NYC is the nerve center of publishing. But DC's got some major kidlit cred. We're crawling with writers and have representation from the editorial and agency side too.

So why shouldn't we have our own Kidlit Drinks night? Why should Manhattan get all the glory and cosmos? 

I've seen some evidence via Google at past attempts at DC Kidlit drinks but nothing new... so either it's gone underground or it's time to revive the idea.

If you're in the DC area and would be interested in a happy hour with other members of the kidlit community, drop me an e-mail (pbachorz AT yahoo DOT com) or leave a comment here. In particular I'm wondering whether people prefer 6 PM or 8 PM for start time, and whether we ought to kick it off in DC proper or Silver Spring (seems like most of the kidlit people I know live in MD but maybe that's because I live in MD!). 

Prolly we'll start in June.
