I'm new to the SketchCrawl world (in addition to sketching in general) but I'm hoping to start some interest in a DC location that day. I may be able to convince my family for an outing that heads near a meeting area so I can sit for a bit and sketch.
Whatdoya DC, NoVA, MD sketchers think?

Re: Washington, D.C.
I'm open to going wherever - I haven't lived here long enough to have a strong opinion about it...Just name the time and place and I'll get there! My only request would be that it's easy to get to on the Metro...

Re: Washington, D.C.
Georgetown might be nice. There are all those nifty alleys and there is the nice path along the Canal, below. You could meet at Leopold's Kafe Konditorei, in Cady's Alley: http://www.cadysalley.com/showstore.php?id=72

Re: Washington, D.C.
Dupont Circle would provide much for us to see, whether we walk around or park ourselves in the center of the circle by the fountain.
Eastern Market would also provide a lot of people, neighborhood and the market itself to sketch.
Or we could go to 2000 S Street and camp out waiting for the Real World cast to appear and sketch-stalk them for a day. (Just kidding)
All are Metro accessible.
Chinatown/Gallery Place, U Street, Adams Morgan would all be good spots for the same basic reasons too...
Georgetown would be a lot of fun too, but of course not as easy to get to by Metro.
Any votes?
Also,
Who is still in for sketching?
JHFloyd/ Jay?
Diahnott?
Studio-1-F/ Jan?
Lorifromva/ Lori?
peculiarjbird/ Julia?
And of course- anyone else!

Re: Washington, D.C.
Okay!
let's do Dupont Circle then. It should provide a variety of stuff, and it is easy to get to. I'll be somewhere around the fountain if I get there first.
I'll be the one sitting and sketching stuff and I look like this: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QbLq3c6EhwA/S ... ian140.jpg
I'm going to try and be there around 10:30 - 11, and I am sure I will be there for a while if anyone else wants to meet up!

Re: Washington, D.C.
Great! I'm looking forward to it. I'll plan to be there about 10:30 as well. I don't have a photo handy, but I'll find you!
