IRE/NICAR Meetup - "Left Behind" Edition!

Greetings fellow IRE-rs!

The usual August doldrums have descended on DC, and many of your colleagues have seemingly fled the city for various fun vacation spots this month.

But not all of us are lucky enough to escape the swampy heat Washington is known for slapping us in the face with in August -- so for those still in town, IRE is hosting an impromptu happy hour to help take the edge off.

Come join us this coming WEDNESDAY the 12th (that's right, five days from now!) to catch up, grab a cold one and commiserate our lack of good vacation planning.

If your editor is out of town at the beach or Cape Cod, you know you've been waiting for an excuse to hit a good happy hour. And of course, if your boss is not on vacation, well hell, bring him/her along too! You can both bond over an after-work pint and some IRE social rejuvenation.

We'll be downstairs at the Laughing Man Tavern, at 1306 G St. See you then!

Aaron, Josh and Steven
