Join us for the DC Trans Ladies fall Soiree on November 4 from 6 – 11:30 p.m. celebrating our Meetup group’s 11-year anniversary! “Steel” is the theme for our 11th anniversary so don those tasteful metallic style outfits, shoes, jewelry, and other accessories for a night out together. Socialize with friends and savor Irish-themed food and drink while flaunting your flavor of metal—gold, silver, stainless steel, copper, bronze, etc. Dress to impress as always.

Sam Beckett’s management is excited to host us again. We’ve had 30 to 50 guests at our previous events here. Beckett’s has an intimate atmosphere, yet they can accommodate up to 70 of us!

As was the case last time, we will be getting separate checks and ordering off their standard dinner menu. The price range is moderate. Check out a typical dinner menu here: https://www.samuelbecketts.com/becketts-reopening-patio-take-out-menu/

Although the event states an end time of 11:30 p.m. this is not a hard limit since Beckett’s is usually open to as late as 1 a.m. Everyone is free to mingle and chat after 11:30 p.m. — and we definitely hope you do!

Guests
Significant others are welcome! Please be sure to include them as your +1 when you RSVP. Please RSVP soonest as we need to update the venue with our numbers one week prior to the event.

Attire
We want to reinforce the goodwill produced at our previous events, so we expect everyone to wear attire appropriate for a mainstream space. We take pride in the variety of ensembles ladies display while maintaining our tasteful and chic individual style. No fetish wear, please.

Parking
Shirlington has extensive, free, garage parking on weekends and evenings. Our preferred parking facility is the Quincy St. Garage at 2901 S Randolph St, Arlington, VA 22206. There’s a staircase to Randolph Street on the NW corner of the garage. This garage is just a two-minute walk to the pub and has ample parking on all levels.

Drop-off Location & Entrance
The entrance to Sam Beckett’s is located on Campbell Street across from the Peet’s Coffee even though the address is 2800 S Randolph St. If you are getting dropped off, please use 4150 Campbell Avenue for closer access to the front door.

Feeling nervous?
If you’d like someone to meet you at your car and walk in with you, that is no problem! Just text Beth at 202-803-3231, and she (or another member) will come out to walk you in and introduce you to the other ladies.

Lodging
The Hilton Garden Inn in Shirlington has rooms available starting at $150 + tax. We don’t have any special rate negotiated so check out your discount options online when you book, e.g., use hotel chain points, AAA membership discounts, etc. It’s just a two-minute walk from the hotel to the pub!
