Center for Inquiry Open House

For those who will be visiting DC for the inauguration, you might want to stop in to check out the Center for Inquiry. They're having an "Inauguration Weekend Open House", though it's on a Monday...not really a weekend, but at least they're much more welcoming than the Discovery Institute!

Center for Inquiry DC, 621 Pennsylvania Ave SE (Eastern Market metro), Washington, DC 20003

The Center for Inquiry DC and Office of Public Policy will be opening its offices to Friends of the Center and interested parties from around the country who are interested in learning about our Center. In commemoration of the inauguration weekend, we would like to welcome anyone visiting our Nation's Capital, as well as DC residents, to stop by our office for coffee, a light snack, and a conversation with any of our staff members about our office and what it has to offer. Please stop by our Capitol Hill office any time on Monday, January 19th from 9am-5pm and celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and the forthcoming inauguration with us. Whether you supported Obama, McCain, or another candidate, we would love to meet with you!

Afterwards, have a burger and shake (and don't dare miss out on the fries!) at Chef Spike's (of Top Chef fame) The Good Stuff Eatery (just three blocks away, 303 Pennsylvania Ave SE). Also, don't miss out on DC's own Ben's Chili Bowl for their famous half-smoked hot dog (Obama had one this past Saturday), or Cake Love, both on U-Street and likely to be very crowded.
