NYC Has A 'Wilde Club' For Young Gay Writers, Why Can't DC Have One Too?

The New York Times, always with their finger on the pulse of the lives of young writers on the Lower East Side (but never, gasp, Brooklyn), exposes the hottest ticket in town for young gay (and incidentally, good looking) writers:
[Wilde Boys founder Alex Dimitrov] was also new to New York City, living on the Lower East Side with a college friend. He longed for a community of writers, and sought to create his own by e-mailing a half-dozen aspiring poets his age — some he knew, some he didn’t — and suggesting they discuss their work at a cafe. “I invited the cute gay poets right away,” Mr. Dimitrov said. “I sort of had a list of gays that I wanted to come, and some of them that I wanted to sleep with.” 
Young talent at it's finest. I firmly support the extension of this idea down the Northeast Regional tracks to Washington, DC (Acela is reserved for the writers who actually make money). And for those wondering, my interest in this is in no way related to a desire to meet gay men in DC my own age who are neither totally vapid nor those on career tracks so narrow that their only extra curricular readings are policy papers.
