Where: National Zoo in DC, 3001 Connecticut Avenue NW, Washington
RSVP: http://www.meetup.com/NOVAfurs/events/233917670/
We will be taking a group photo at 9:30AM, this gives a little time for people that need to travel from the metro or other side of the zoo. This photo will be in our meeting spot so no worries! If you have any questions please feel free to contact Kaitlin N. ( JazzBerry Jam)!
This is a non-suiting event to take advantage of the cooler weather but also look at the different animals from the various exhibits. Furry accessories are OK but no tails as the zoo gets crowded in the afternoon and may get in peoples way.
Admission is free to attend for everyone although they do have activities at the Zoo that have various fees. More information can be found at the Zoo's website (http://nationalzoo.si.edu/) including how to get there via car or metro.
We will stay together as a group as best we can to make it easier, for people who come later, to find us. If you have any specific areas or specific animals you want to see please let us know in the comments below.
If you have not been to the National Zoo before, then here are some highlights: The Baby Panda, Orangutan Overhead Crosswalk, Petting Zoo, The Bird Aviary, The Amazon Rainforest Exhibit, The Big Loud Cats, and many more exciting exhibits.
This will be an 'open event' meaning you don't have to be there at 9am but that is when people will start gathering and then dispersing throughout the area. Also the end time is just a suggested time to leave as you can leave any time before then but if you plan to stay the whole time, then you must leave at 6 as that is when the zoo closes. As a reminder we will be eating lunch at the zoo, so either bring a lunch or bring some money to purchase food there. They have a mini cafeteria and some snack food vendors & stands.
If you have any questions, please ask any of the hosts or admins. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Come one, come all to the Wing Factory for an evening of Food and Costuming.
For this one night on all Hallows Eve we are allowed to Fursuit and wear Halloween costumes at the Buffalo Wing Factory. There is great food there as well should you not have a Fursuit any Costume (keep it pg13 please) will do (not limited to Fursuits).
With the participation of the Fursuiters and costumers I will need a bit of information however, currently there are 2 blocks of time that you can suit, it is from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. and 7 p.m to 8 p.m. collectively. You will need to let me know which block of time best suits you. In addition I would like volunteers for handlers for the event to keep the peace of the crowd, let me know in the comments section if you would like to help out.
The management has offered to promote this event for us a week out and as well if you wish to wear a Wing Factory tee shirt they will be provided which would help out the business. We also need to support the business as well so please do have a meal while you are there (The menu can be found here: [url=http://www.buffalowingfactory.com/].....ngfactory.com/[/url]), water will be freely provided without issues. I expect a lot of pictures to be asked for and or taken, please however do not make this a self-promotion media event as we are asked to interact with the patrons. We have also been asked to limit the amount of suiters outside to 2 or 3 maximum, there should be enough space inside as well for roaming and interaction. Any media (Pictures or Video) that is taken by the NoVA group individuals is for personal use, please adhere to media policies when posting anything (ask permission).
Please do not bring props with you, these could get in to peoples food and or on the tables which would not make anyone happy. Also this is around Wings and Sauces so be mindful of your tail and or suit as it may get sauces on it. I will have a space open for suiters to pose for pictures by the end of our reserved table, this should provide sufficiently for that.
Currently there is no headless lounge to change in and out of suit, please plan accordingly for this when planning to suit up. I am still in discussions with the management to see if any space can be allocated however better to play it safe in this. I will update comments when/if there is a space allocated for us, it being a working business however space is a precious commodity for them. If you arrive prior to 6 p.m. I should be there setting up for the group however plan to start at 6 p.m. and end at 8 p.m. as that is the agreement with the corporate office.
I hope to see all that come out for a spectacular evening of fun, this is definitely one wing meet you don’t want to miss.
Sincerely,
Midnight
