Different location for the wiknic?

Apologies for the late suggestion: How would folks feel about doing the wiknic at Dupont Circle instead of at Rock Creek Park? Dupont would be easier to get to for folks on the train. I originally chose Rock Creek Park because I was worried about the crowd getting too big (last time I hosted a CentralNotice'd event hundreds wanted to come!), but it looks like there have only been a small handful of signups, which makes Dupont plausible! I'll notify everyone who's expressed interest — please let me know if you have a preference one way or the other. Looking forward to seeing you all!

Dupont Circle would be my preference! Looking forward to it! Cheers, {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 04:42, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the ping! Dupont works for me. Please keep me in the loop. WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 14:58, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

Dupont works! TJMSmith (talk) 15:09, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

@L235, looks like there's consensus to switch. Should we make it official now (to reduce the chance that anyone who decides to come last-minute ends up at the wrong spot)? {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 20:47, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

@Sdkb, WomenArtistUpdates, and TJMSmith: Sorry for the delay in getting back to you! I think let's keep it at Rock Creek Park after all. Without requiring registrations, I don't know how many people won't get the update, and I would feel super bad if even one person trekked all the way over to Rock Creek Park and then we weren't there. Hopefully that's OK — let me know if a ride would be helpful tomorrow. Best, KevinL (aka L235 · t · c) 02:10, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

Plus it will be very pretty! KevinL (aka L235 · t · c) 02:11, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

Sounds good! I'll be able to make it toward the latter half. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 14:20, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

OK. Rock Creek Park. WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 15:02, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
