Stimulus not stimulating enough? Worried about how your tax
problems might force you to leave your job? Or maybe you're
worried that maybe that free healthcare Obama promised isn't on
the way after all? Well, our monthly (or so) happy hour is
happening at the Continental Lounge in Rosslyn, Virginia. If
you're an intern looking to meet some editors who can help you
out, or if you want to mingle with your favorite writers (which
is far more likely), join us.
The paternalistic paws of the government haven't yet made their
way to Northern Virginia, so you can smoke indoors (and it's
well-ventillated so it's not overwhelming). The happy hour
specials are also substantial. We'll be joined by friends from
the TownHall.com, the American Conservative, The Next Right, and
others.
Time: 6:00pm - 9:00pm
Location: Continental, 1911 N. Fort Myer Drive, Rosslyn, VA
