I remember booking the "International Room" one year at the FSGW Minifest. I called Jonathan for his advice about whom to invite. Being Jonathan, he first launched into a diatribe that nobody ever booked it right, but as soon as i was able to explain that I wanted his advice, it was like I was handed the keys to the encyclopedia in his brain.

By the way, parking in the vicinity of the Washington Ethical Society is screwy due to the reconstruction of 16th Street, but the FSGW website includes updates as to the construction and parking situation there, and I'll make sure to update it the week beforehand with current information.
