Summer elegance, indoor/outdoor bar

Hi all,

I have tried hard to find a rooftop bar that will accept us. None will. But good news: The AC Hotel in Pasadena will and has a super nice indoor/outdoor bar area on the ground floor. Let's meet there for drinks! It is a very popular location.

In procedural news: because I spend quite a bit of effort and some money on these events with very few attendees volunteering the $3 I have asked for for years (some repeatedly do, thanks!), because prices of everything, including meetup charges on organizers, because the venues hardly ever offer me even a free or discounted drink, and because many repeatedly sign without showing up, I have a NEW POLICY IN PLACE:

As others organizers, all attendees will be put on a waitlist. The event will have to be displayed as free, I think... However, once you have paid me $5 via Venmo (for easy tracking), I will move you to "going." I will check the list every few days. If you are not cleared to go, do not attend! Thank you for understanding.

My Venmo is @Myanna-Dellinger. The last four digits are 7295.

Meetup has different types of membership. Some can pay directly on the website, others not. Just don't: Venmo is easy for all of us. Please use that.

No refunds! If you can't make it, I'll honor the payment for another event.

I am having lots of fun meeting with you all!
