Of course!—GOE was a remarkable experience I will always treasure. The post-GOE gathering at Orleans House was fabulous. btw—I heard recently that Orleans House has closed due to urban development. We’ve had several FReeper gatherings there over the years. Sad to learn it is no more.

It's true. And the People's Republics of Virginia and Maryland have passed no-smoking ordinances in restaurants, so that fries the ice of many a DC FReeper, as well.

Scroll down to the first comment here to read about the closing in January:

Oh, that's really sad, if true! (Is it true, DC Freepers?)
