Information about the Eden Lounge: Eden, part of the China Club-makeover (now known as Opera), sports a refreshing indoor/outdoor rooftop bar just above the milling crowds of Time Square. The best of midtown DJ’s play for patrons as they mingle amongst stone columns, observe the trompe l'oeil wallpaper, and dance under colored laser lights. Cocktails range from $9-$16 prices while a beer will run around $7. Bottle service is best enjoyed in the outdoor Cabanas or indoors close to the dance floor that showcases an oak wood vaulted ceiling and décor to match. The outdoor space features an impressively-stocked bar, plush chaises, and a circular banquette set against a verdant backdrop. In a city of clubs that toe the line between ultra-chic and ultra-pretentious, Eden proves it's not a sin to have fun without pandering to a superiority complex.

Ok, time for our next happy hour! After a long work week, let's kick back, relax, meet up with new and old faces, have a few drinks, and have some fun!

We'll be benefiting Washington Literacy Council (http://www.washington.... )... an organization with the mission to raise the literacy level of adults and children in our nation’s capital... suggested $5 or $10 donation. Please note 80% of donations go to Washington Literacy Council, 20% of donations go to the 20s & 30s Going Out Group to cover meetup fees and expenses.

The DMV Ladies

Book Meet&Eat
The Booze Club

For those that haven't been there before, Pasha Lounge features palatial lights with state of the art decor, custom wave walls, and dramatic mosaic tiling. See www.pashaloungedc.com

To help continue the friendly tone of this group... I'd like to again encourage each person to have a GOAL OF MEETING 3 NEW PEOPLE at this event. To help do this, for an icebreaker, we'll put your name in a jar as you walk in, and then give you someone else's name from the jar. Also, 20s & 30s Rockstars, please help make all the newcomers feel welcome to our group!

Looking forward to seeing you there!
