Saturday is open house day at the European embassies in DC! Who all is interested in doing some pre-meetup touring of the embassies?
Depending on the interest, we could:
1) meet at Dupont Circle in the morning (9:45-10am) and tour 15 embassies along and around Embassy Row, all together as a single group.
2) we could organize it into a Wikis Take the Embassies sort of thing, split up into groups and cover more embassies with us going around getting photos, including the interior of the embassies and the outside (some embassy articles can use better photos, some don't have any!). One group could cover Embassy Row and the other group cover the embassies in/around Georgetown (Spain, Sweden, France, Germany)
3) if time allows or we want a third group, we could hit some of the embassies (Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic) near Van Ness/Tenleytown in the afternoon before the meetup.
Wiki Takes ___ events are sometimes competitive, and we could to that, but not necessary and I'm in favor of it being non-competitive.

I'm adding a signup place on our meetup page for these.

(oh, and Wikis Take the Embassies Part II could be the following weekend, May 14, when the non-EU embassies do their open house. Any interest?)
Cheers,
