DC Craft Beer Week

Despite my best efforts, I can't find the schedule online. Look at your favorite bar for a booklet with the details. Here's what I do know:

When: May 25th-30th
Where: bars around DC (mostly downtown)

There are different sampling events and "meet the brewer" type activities that seem to be free, plus other events you have to pay for (SAVOR, culinary classes, etc.). It looks awesome. I'll post the schedule here if I can find it.

It's a Foot Stompin' Hand Clappin' Wednesday

Tonight at Madame's Organ!
So there's a little local flavor going on this week. First of all, tonight a new bluegrass band (you might recognize some of your friends from other events around Mt. Pleasant and the 7th Street Garden.) 8-9pm. Free before 8pm. $4 after.

Tomorrow at Marx Cafe!
Neighborhood night in Mt. Pleasant. Nothing but some funk music, neighbors and a goodtime. What else? I think it gets going around 8 or 9pm.

Big Hunt TONIGHT!

Be there or be a square. Okay, well maybe that's not quite the phrase.

Anyway, we all know the traditional Wednesday night Big Hunt gathering. Tonight is a special celebration of a not so celibate friend's return to D.C. (short for Drinking Capital).

Welcome back our fearless RV-steering buddy to all bikers...the one...the only...the most frivolous of freevoliters...Miss Julie Serfass.

We missed you. We'll see you tonight.

Drinkin' for Good

DC is a drinkin' town: Home of the Happy Hour. Sometimes its just hard to network your way onto the hill without lubing up first. Other times you need to drown the misery of 9-5 in front of a computer screen. But most times, it's just fun.
