yes, i could do either!
are folks up for a thursday gathering? if not, we could just try for that some other week, and shoot for friday this time around.
as for good happy hours I've been meaning to try bar de marchand that supposedly has excellent wine by the glass, or if rather go for a beer, bangalore is a good option..they usually have good deals on artesanal beer, but it is little and fills up fast, so it is good to go at around 7.
