No one told me the ‘Arlington Allies’ happy hour Tuesda was at a mall bar. I mean, I know the invite said “Ballston Mall,” but not being a Virginia type, I kind of thought that was just a fanciful name for some section of large identical brick buildings interspersed with strategic grassy knolls like they [...]

Two-dollar pints?!? Only in Virginia, darlings. And only if you love liberty. Which of course you do, or you wouldn’t be reading Doublethink Online, right? So join the Va. wing of The Young and the Libertarian tomorrow night for an IHS-Atlas-Koch-IJ-Mercatus-etc.-sponsored happy hour at Bailey’s Pub & Grille (4238 Wilson Blvd., Arlington; two blocks from [...]

At TechRepublican’s second summer soiree, the booze was free, the David All Group-ies were omnipresent, and I heard very few people actually talking about anything tech-related. Photos from last night’s shindig under the cut; Kristen’s previous TechRepublican paparazzi-ing here.

But for those rare creatures who work downtown and actually get off work at 5 p.m., this begs the question: What do to between leaving the office and heading to the AFF shindig at six? Never fear! Washington Post’s Express, in conjunction with Lindy Promotions and Miller Lite, is hosting a “Summer Luau Happy Hour” at the Greene Turtle, just down the street from Rocket Bar (601 F St NW).

The Collegiate Network, the journalism side of ISI, is holding an event - and you’re invited!  Surely if you’ve come to AFF events you’ve met a conservative journo or two in your time, so rally the troops and make your way to the University Club next Thursday!
From 6-8pm on June 19, CN will host their [...]

Everyone knows DC media folks don’t need an excuse to drink, but I suppose getting tipsy does feel better when you can call it “networking.” That’s the theory, anyway, behind the latest journo/comm drinking/schmoozing organization, a ragtag group of communication professionals who slapped a fancy name on themselves (The Consortium), created a facebook page and invited folks out to drink at the amusingly swanky Park at 14th (if you facebook it, they will come).
