One year of DC Vegan Drinks…

Its been 1 year of DC Vegan Drinks! For the most part I think it has been very successful, since people still keep coming. We started off at the Science Club, than people wanted to go to different places. So we started to try to book a different place each month, but that got difficult to coordinate with the Bars/Restaurants. We had a few DC Vegan Drinks at Bread and Brew by middle of the year and then we decided to make Bread and Brew the official DC Vegan Drinks spot. They were great hosts and everyone enjoyed the place, and the staff is wonderful too! Oh, and I can’t forget to mention the Chef, Chef Eugene, who can defiantly make some great Vegan dishes. We also did a few benefits this year which were very successful and we plan on continuing them in 2010. Also for 2010 we plan to start having live music at as many events as we can, we hope to have veg bands if possible, so if you know of any or you are in any let us know. And if you have any thoughts or comments for future events please let me know. That being said I hope to see you at tonight’s event, and bring a few friends!

THE BASICS

DC Vegan Drinks is a monthly offline social networking event for people interested in sharing veganism and advocating for animal rights. Our mission is to bring together people from all walks of life (lawyers, students, small business owners, etc…) to build a stronger community and promote the sharing of resources. A lot of people build these networks online but never really connect socially, this is where our shin-dig falls in. There is no requirement except for an interest in veganism, animal rights, and to have a little after-work fun.

What you need to do:

* Be friendly, even to any non-vegans that may come.
* Talk about what you do in your free time, what business or organization you work for, who makes the best vegan cookie, your blog, etc…
* Oh, most importantly, have a drink and relax with some fellow vegans.

What to bring:

* Business Cards (if you want to share).
* If you don’t have business cards–flyers or pamphlets are cool too. Please remember to keep all distributions related to animal welfare/animal rights/veganism/etc.
* Cash for tips for your friendly bartenders.

Other info:

There is NO dress code, come how you feel. It’s FREE, but drinks are NOT and food isn’t either. Bring CASH to tip your bartenders. Some of the places we visit are 21 and over so make sure you check above to see if this months is.
