On Saturday night, I attended two "alumni" events. The first was Nick & Kara's engagement party held at Cafe Citron, a posh spot in Dupont. They don't usually let my kind in. I had a chance to see many of our old friends from Frightening Pace. As you remember from my earlier post, Nick & Kara moved to Denver and have a nice life there in their downtown apartment. They were back in town to celebrate their upcoming Boston wedding with friends. Kara and I both work for the same federal agency now, so we'll probably see each other from time to time. Congrats to the happy couple, we miss them!
Later that evening, after a quick stop at Ben's Chili Bowl, I went to Rachel's birthday party, also in Dupont, but closer to the U Street corridor. Rachel is an original Goleros player - and the only player ever to have started with us completely from scratch. She learned quick and was a lot of fun to play with. She's back in DC after an assignment on the Clinton campaign in New Hampshire. She's doing great. As you can see, Megan was at the party too. Megan and Rachel are two peas in a pod. Megan and her sister Molly had spent the day painting for DC-area schools (read about it here).
