I get e-mails sometimes (I don't know how I got on the listserv) for embassy events in DC. Like the embassy of a particular country (i.e. Australia, Italy, Barbados, Costa Rica, Saudi Arabia, etc) will send me an e-mail saying tickets to an event of theirs are being offered for sale. They are usually in the $50-$80 range. It seems to require formal attire and offers food, drinks and some kind of cultural program and opportunities to mingle.

Has anyone gone to any of these events? I wonder if it's a good way to meet chicks or at least good contacts.

If you find out how you got on the receiving end of the embassy emails I would like to know too
