Every month on the second Saturday a number of Capitol Hill shops and galleries host receptions. I am going because 1. I live on Cap Hill, 2. I need to do something fun before the home stretch of the semester begins and 3. you can get me to go almost anywhere for free food.
Here are some of the details. If any of you think you might go, let me know. Maybe we can meet up.
