Reasons to keep showing up

The dome of the United States Capitol in Washington, DC
  • I’ve lived in DC for a little over four years and I’ve always talked about how little I’ve explored the city. Tonight reminded me of how much the city has to offer. I met a group of folks that were really fun to converse with and share a drink with.

  • I was at a birthday dinner and asked a girl how she met my friend. She said at a Timeleft dinner! I had never heard of the app, but I decided to give it a go. I have been to two dinners so far and plan to go to more…
