Romping around DC.

Tonight the Washington Animal Rescue League and the Wolf Trap Young Professional Society will be having a Happy Hour at MidTown Loft from 5:30-10:30 PM. There will be a drawing for tickets to the opening night of Wolf Trap’s upcoming performances of CATS and the League’s Rescue Me Gala. Proceeds will benefit Wolf Trap’s arts and education programs and the League’s initiatives to help cats and dogs in its state-of-the-art shelter and medical center for low-income pet guardians who are unable to afford veterinary care.  Congratulations to the League on the launch of their new website - and amazing job to my friend Elise, who worked so hard on its redesign! 

Following the WARL event, the Real World DC cast will be having a reunion party at Midtown from 10-2:30AM.  DJs, drinks. I didn't really watch the season so I probably won't be sticking around for this :)

Another event going on tonight is Washington Post's Going Out Gurus' private happy hour at ChurchKey, the upstairs bar space at Birch & Barley. Starting at 5, guests who mention the happy hour gain access to the free food (tater tots, mac-and-cheese sticks, and flatbreads) and $4 pint specials on Allagash White, Bell's Two Hearted Ale and Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Porter and glasses of Gaffel Koelsch and St. Idesbald Blonde.

For a more low-key night, I think I will be heading to Kitchen on my way home from the WARL happy hour to see a coworker's friend play his weekly guitar gig.
