If you missed the July 28 happy hour at Bar Louie, you missed out on a very special hump day spectacular. There was much cavorting, merriment and networking, and DCS friends got a fun surprise at the end of the night when their tabs arrived. The discovery that your dollar beers and half-priced appetizers have not amounted to consume your entire week's pay is always a happy one. Fret not if this happy hour slipped through your social calendar; we've got more on "tap" for August. Join us for the next social event, the Oregon District Scavenger Hunt and Pub Crawl on August 11. Stay tuned to the blog for forthcoming details. Perhaps you'll be there when Tony Hitchcock tries to initiate another toothpick duel with strangers. Don't miss a crazy minute!

If you've got a buck, you can get a beer from Bar Louie, and DCS will throw in the company of good friends for FREE! Join us Wednesday, July 28, starting at 5:30 p.m. at Bar Louie in The Greene for the next DCS happy hour. Start sifting your couch cushions now so you can get in on their $1 beer night featuring bottles of Budweiser, Bud Light and Bud Select and join your "buds" from DCS. Munch on half-priced appetizers from 4-7 p.m. For more information, e-mail Tracy Westendorf at tracy.westendorf@creatievsyndicate.org. Want to plan our next get-together? Join Team Tracy on the social committee. E-mail Madame Westendorf for details.

What do Cole Porter, Johnny Depp, Patricia Cornwall and Michael J. Fox have in common? They all share June 9 as their birthday! So if you're looking for a reason to celebrate Monday, June 9, join us for the Happy Hour at Harrigan's Tavern South, and raise a glass to some random celebrity birthdays?

If you like Harrigan's Kettering location, you'll love their new digs at 671 Lyons Road in Centerville. You'll find it in a shopping center in the former Fox & Hound location, which is across the street from Sam's Club.

So join Dayton Creative Syndicate and GDAA from 5-7:30 p.m. (or later) on Wednesday, June 9, at Harrigan's South for our June Happy Hour! All the cool kids will be there enjoying networking, a selection of 36 draft beers, fine "pub grub" cuisine, and of course the pure enjoyment of hanging out with your DCS peeps.
