Even Shadow Senator Paul Strauss had a car in the parade. And a classic one, to boot.

It’s been too long, hasn’t it? This Friday, DCist presents our fifth official happy hour. It was September when we last saw some of you, so come out and let us know what you’ve been up to. Even bloggers need a little face time every now and then. This time around, DCist editors, writers, and hangers on will be meeting at 51st State, for a no frills (but plenty of thrills) low key and informal evening of boozing and conversing. It’s short notice we know, but we’ve always been a little spontaneous.

What: DCist Veterans’ Day Happy Hour!
Where: 51 State (2512 L St. NW)
When: 6:00 p.m.-ish
Why: Because we’re not afraid to shamelessly piggy back on a national observance
Who: You, your friends, neighbors, that cute boy (or girl) that lives across the street from you…everyone!

See you there!
