Star Wars Eve! Sith Happens and Galactic Empire!

Please note that Geek Nite Out is a Meetup Group attending these events. We are not the organizers of The Unofficial Star Wars Weekend on Barracks Row.

Friday, May 2nd, is the first night of The Unofficial Star Wars Weekend on Barracks Row! There will be a lot of activities going on, including:

####

"Sith Happens" - A Star Wars Pop-Up Bar at Lola’s!

May the Fourth be with you—and with your drink!

Step into a galaxy far, far away with out-of-this-world cocktails, themed décor, and a fully immersive experience that brings your favorite saga to life. Whether you’re a Jedi Master or loyal to the Dark Side, this pop-up will be the ultimate destination for fans 21+ looking to celebrate the Force in style.

Expect:

• Galactic-themed drinks
• Star Wars-inspired photo ops
• Music, cosplay, and surprises from across the galaxy

✨ Costumes encouraged. Good times guaranteed.

And

The mighty Galactic Empire is coming to Washington DC! Join the galaxy’s foremost progressive technical heavy metal Star Wars cosplay John Williams tribute band as they lay waste to Washington DC, Planet Earth. Prepare for an evening of the most impressive heavy metal. There’s no one to stop us this time!

Schedule:
We will begin to meet at 5:30 pm at Sith Happens at Lola's at 711 8th St SE. We'll eat, drink, chat and try not to have our arms chopped off by a Jedi.

At 7:30 pm, we'll ride our speeders to The Miracle Theater at 535 8th St SE for a show by The Galactic Empire.

Communication:
A #starwarseve channel will be created on the GNO Discord server before the event. It's to be used to help everyone communicate and find the group. You can join the Discord server here: https://discord.gg/d4e9MKScVP (link should be permanent. Please let me know if it stops working)

I will let you know how to find me on the day of the event.

Metro:
It's about a 7-minute walk from the Eastern Market Metro Station (along the Blue, Orange, and Silver Lines) to Lola's.

I'm looking forward to seeing you!
May The Force Be With You!
