We're on the move
This weekend marks a great day in the history of Hai Tahd. The ANCA is "movin' on up" to bigger and better things. They are moving from their rented space they have occupied for 12 years on to a building they purchased just a few blocks away. Of course, we do things backwards as Armenians, so we have not actually paid for it in full yet, but we will be having a telethon soon to raise the necessary funds. Please help.
But I'm happiest for two things... there is a free parking space in the back that solves my parking issues in DC for as long as I have left in this dreadful town... and second, it's a block away from the absolutely wonderful Persian kebab house, Moby Dick. mmmmm kubideh. And since I'm out of work with nowhere to go, I shall make myself at home in the new digs for my remaining days.
So this weekend is the big move. Eep. They have been packing up their boxes all week and it's been a BIG mess. But fortunately there is some method to all the chaos and soon enough well be in a GOREOUS space and all settled, just in time for the Millenium Challenge signing ceremony on Monday... looks like there will be some sort of reception for that to break in the new office. More info on the telethon as it comes, and coverage of the Millenium Challence ceremony to come soon.

Hey Arsineh
Ahh this news is bitter sweet! Many good times in the office on 17th Street :(
I do wish you all well with the move to the new office
by the way, rumor has it you are coming to armenia sometime soon. let me know, i'll be here for a while!
warmly,
Tamar Palandjian
HAHAHA, I know, I just hope the people moving in to 17th Street allow me to return to my old office and reminisce. But believe me, the new place is great... I mean, free parking!
I am coming, and I emailed you at the address I have for you. Let me know if you didn't get it, that means I don't have your correct address.
It is exciting news (though I also liked the ol' office). I heard some really cool details about the new place though and am looking forward to visiting next time I'm in the 'hood.
I was just in the 'hood and saw the new digs. Arsineh gave us a full tour and we met many of the hard working staff members moving and settling in. All I can say is "impressive" regarding the new office. Steve Case of AOL used to own it. Prime location
