Sounds like a lot of fun to just meet with people and chat! I'm in the DC area and will be on the lookout for those I can attend. While I assume the vibe is different for each event, do any in the DC area know what they're generally like? The image in my head is like a chill happy hour in someone's apartment rather than a big convention, but like Jon Snow, I know nothing.
