It appears that along with the Refreshes, Bar Camps, Meetups and Tweetups, a new craze is sweeping the nation.

Convention attendance is down in light of the recession, and so many security practitioners who would normally be making the trip to Vegas this year to enjoy the wonders of Black Hat and DefCon are not.

So, join us and them (in the DC Metro Area at least) at DC’s “Not at Black Hat/Not in Vegas” meetup, aka CapSec! Yes, we could have done something on the weekend, but with all that time free that you would have spent watching weirdos and tourists in Vegas, I’m sure you’ve already planned something else.

It appears that someone in Atlanta already beat me to doing a blog post about this although we had a save the date one on the CapSec blog last week. @rybolov mentioned it first for DC on twitter, he should get props too.

CapSec DC, special “Not at Black Hat” edition:

We’re going to try to start a little early this week for CapSec, so that some of the folks who get off gov jobs early can come by without having to spend all evening in the city.

We’re going to start at 5 PM on the back deck, and we may migrate upstairs later, depending on how the evening is going.

Sorry folks, Mark and I have both been crazy busy.

We hope to see you at Cap Sec this coming Wednesday at Stetson’s!
