Hey DC twitter friends! Two of the best things about our
city have converged recently – the arrival of a panda cub and the arrival of
no-tourists season. So I propose a panda tweetup to be held on Thursday,
February 25, at the National Zoo.
Here’s the plan: we meet between 10 and 10:30 am at the
tables across from the entrance to the panda habitat (“Panda Plaza” on the zoo
map, not to be confused with the Panda Overlook Café). I’ll make a bunch of delicious
cookies and get one of those boxes of coffee. We will eat cookies and drink
coffee and look at pandas and talk and tweet. If there's a line for the pandas we can take turns. Or something. We'll figure it out.
I fully realize that 10 on a Thursday is tough for some
people, but I tried to choose a time that would maximize our chances of seeing
Bei Bei and minimize our chances of being overwhelmed by tourists. According to
the zoo, this is the time of day he is most likely to be up and active.
So, please come. Invite your friends. This is not any kind
of official or zoo-sanctioned activity, just a chance to hang out. If about 20
people come, we all get cookies and coffee on me. If hundreds come, we may have
to go to Starbucks (not on me).
To summarize: Thursday, February 25, starting at 10am,
National Zoo, Panda Plaza. Bei there!
