Sisarina & the #DCTwirlies enjoyed events over the past few months and here is a quick update & attendees list for numbers 3, 4 and 5.

#DCTwirlies 3 - Julie & Julia Movie Night

The #DCTwirlies met at Vapiano's in DC on August 11, 2009 for happy hour enjoying great drink specials and pizza, pasta or salad and each other's company. We headed over to the Chinatown movie theater and took in a wonderfully written Julie & Julia while getting hungry despite our full bellies. The laughter, the excitement and the wonderment of Julia Childs made it an incredible evening for all.

#DCTwirlies 4 - Nando's Sangria Happy Hour

Nando's Peri Peri was having a $5 sangria pitcher that the #DCTwirlies felt they should take advantage of. On Sept 1, 2009, we booked Nando's private back room at their Dupont Circle location and enjoyed appetizers and sangria along with great get-to-know-you conversation. Business networking was had but friendships began and are continuing from that evening.

#DCTwirlies 5 - 'Dirty Dancing' Movie Night

Cynthia Karnik, CEO of @govpartners, invited us to her home in Leesburg, VA for a night of Patrick Swayze, mojitos and lasagna. She made sure it was a night to remember. We arrived and found ourselves at the bar in her basement enjoying spinach dip and mojitos along with girl talk about everything on the planet. Once everyone arrived, we headed upstairs for lasagna, salad and garlic bread and enjoyed each other's company. Once we were stuffed, we headed for the 113" screen in the home theater with giant comfy recliners and started watching Dirty Dancing. It was like watching it on the big screen at the movies. Singing, giggling, conversations and lots of dialogue repeating was had throughout the movie along with swooning for the late Patrick Swayze and comments about Jennifer Gray's nose. The evening was a HUGE success. Thanks to Cynthia and her incredible hostessing.
