Couchsurfing DC and Santarchy

Sunday, December 14th, 2008

I couchsurfed my first place last weekend.  I was traveling to DC for the first time for the awards ceremony I mentioned in my last post and I wanted to come a few days early to see some sites and meet some folks.  What better way than by staying with complete strangers (with good references)!

Ningxi Liu and her fellow dorm-mates at George Washington University were kind enough to host me.  I showed up on their doorstep on Saturday right off a red-eye from Portland.  An hour later we were emerging out of the subway in santa suits for Santarchy DC ‘08.  I actually bought a suit in Portland and brought it with me…
