Come OUT and Play! Happy Hour this Weds 5-7pm
|
|---|
Happy 2013 friends!
Out Boulder is really excited about the new year and with that we're going to be more active with our events; social gatherings & happy hours.
As most of you know every month we have a happy hour at a designated restaurant or bar in the Boulder area. We try to mix it up with locations that are available to all ages so that students and those with families can attend. Occasionally we will have a traditional happy hour and go to a bar or restaurant that is 21+.
This month's happy hour is at Press Play!
This great new bar is an arcade, bar & restaurant in one. What's not to love? Food, classic arcade games, dance floor, disco lights, awesome drink specials and a full menu offered by Pasta Jays. Starting at 5pm we are likely to have the bar to ourselves & can really 'let our hair down'.
Future plans for happy hours & social gatherings are in the works. Next month on Feb. 17 is our annual RED Party to be held at The Bitter Bar. We have a drag-king troupe performing, a killer DJ from Denver This party is not one to be missed! And in March we will have two social events; an 80's themed dance in Longmont! Yes Longmonters you heard me, we're bringing this show on the road and partying in Longmont! Happy Hour for March will be held at Conor O'Neils to celebrate St. Patricks day, date TBD. April's happy hour is in the works and will be partnered with Frontrunners & Community Cycles!
We're always open to feedback on our happy hours and social gatherings, just email me at APeckham@outboulder.org. Want to help with an event or event post event fliers around town, let me know! We hope you'll come OUT and join us. Please share our events wildly with your friends, communities, & allies. We love meeting new people and look forward to meeting you.
In solidarity,
Aubree Peckham
