We'd love to meet you too,

In answer to your questions, we do events on both weekdays and weekends.
DC's a pretty large area and we have HH regulars from DC, Annapolis, Montgomery County, Arlington, Alexandria, and Fairfax County. Given those demographics, weekends are often easier because traffic is less awful and allows more people to attend. But given our common avocation, sometimes weekends find lots of people out of town. Also, it's often easier to find restaurants willing to host a group of our size (regularly approaching 15 attendees or more) if we schedule mid-week events. We generally try to schedule Metro-accessible events. If we're going somewhere not Metro-accessible, it's common for some of our regulars to offer rides to and from a Metro station to the restaurant.
We can certainly try to schedule something for the first Saturday in February. Is there any place you're interested in trying?
