Happy Hour Recap
Big Hunt was pretty good and very uncrowded, which is unusual for them on a summer Thursday night, but I misread their website. Wings are Tuesday nights, and beers are a dollar off on Thursdays. I think that last fact is why our check was pretty decent. My contribution was $18.00 for 2 beers and appetizers. I took the bus and metro, so that was about $4.50 round trip and I got to drive one of the bloggers home the rest of the way from the bus. So about $22.50 for the evening, which is certainly a lot less than dinner out the night before. (Outback steak and margarita which ended up being crazy expensive, $30+.)
In attendance:
Mike from Clever Dude Personal Finance
Nick from Punny Money
JerichoHill, moderator of the Get Rich Slowly Forums
HC from One Big Mortar Board
James from Dual Income No Kids
Penny Nickel from Money & Values
Our guest of honor, SingleMa, was sick and couldn’t attend. But now I have her number and can drunk dial her if she misses the next one!!
All you other bums who said yes and didn’t show up, I mock thee. Too bad work sucks and you had to stay late. It was a good time. Expect another one in August. Next time I’ll break out a different, but very snappy hat.
PS- I added a some links to my blogroll of attendees. For some reason, I thought all you guys had been added already. So if you are a DC PF blogger and haven’t been added, you will definitely be added to my blogroll if you turn out for a happy hour! (Because I’m a lush and I love drinkers! Just kidding. Teetotalers are ok too and I can find a more restauranty location instead of a bar for next time. It’s just harder to predict a crowd of bloggers and planning stinks if we have to have headcount and sit down reservations.)

Interesting statistic: I read some where that social drinkers earn 14% more than those who don’t drink at all.
