Views: 11576

WHO: ANYONE in Austin (and we WANT you to invite your friends, seriously)!
WHAT: a fun happy hour, no cover, BYOW (bring your own wallet), come hang out and meet people, it's just fun networking with no stupid games or commercial sponsors!
WHEN: October 21st from 6:30pm until they kick us out!
(PS: OCTOBER 21 IS @LANIAR'S BIRTHDAY!!! YAAAAY!!!)
WHERE: Whole Foods Rooftop (feel free to park in the garage or whatever *legal* street parking you can find). Sign in is at the top of the stairs but the elevator in the parking garage is available for anyone unwilling to do stairs.
DRINKS: there WILL be a bar upstairs on the rooftop serving a variety of kick ass beers and wines, please do not BYOB to the private party. Get there early before drink tickets run out (but if you don't, the drink specials will be super affordable)!
BONUS: we memorialize each month's happy hour with amazing photography and this month's photographers will soon be announced.
If you've never been to one of these happy hours or you're new to town, you're not alone! Let us all know you've never been- we'll look out for you!
#BASHH is just a simple non sponsored happy hour full of people that want to put faces to names and meet new people, so join us!!
