It’s that time of year: Cherry Blossoms, patios and Easter. Ok, so maybe patios are a few weeks off but that doesn’t mean we all can’t have a good weekend anyway before March ends. Even if one or two of the days might require gloves…

Even though there still may be a few flakes in the air, we can’t help but get excited for the warm weather and all the great things to do in DC that are just around the corner. With that, we decided to ask some of our FamousDC readers what their favorite thing is to do during spring in DC. Here’s what they had to say: All you can eat crawfish boils with Abita beer at @PearlDiveDC. –Kate Bennett Golf. –David Popp Best thing to do in DC in spring is harder to do every year – get a cheap ticket to a Nationals game and then spend the whole time in the centerfield bar. –Rick Klein Nats opening day! –Mindy Finn

Well not really, but in honor of the first weekend in spring we put together a good line up of events that will still keep you warm. Let’s jump right in.

ThirstDC knows how to throw a party with a good, diverse crowd. You’re always bound to run into someone you know and meet someone new – just the kind of event you want to attend and last night was no different. Kicking the evening off with a talk about weather (and who doesn’t love to talk about the weather), Thirst’s speakers didn’t dissappoint. We went from hurricanes to the moon to becoming innovation experts all in just a few (maybe too many) beers.

Hey folks – just a reminder that you can catch us on Twitter and Facebook. And if you want to talk to some of our frequent contributors, follow them on Twitter: Amos Snead, Co-founder – @AmosSnead Josh Shultz, Co-founder – @JoshShultz Morgan Gress, Editor – @MorganGress Ladies Who Lobby – @LadiesWhoLobby Brittany …
