This is our monthly open Happy Hour for Choros — the guy’s social app that matches small groups of men in DC for real-life hangs. If you’ve been curious about the community or just want to meet some of the guys before jumping in, this is the easiest way. **[It’s open to anyone who signs up for the app.](http://chorosapp.com/)** Once you’re in the app, the exact location and details will unlock in your “Upcoming Activities.” We keep addresses private so the groups stay high-quality and everyone attending is actually part of the community. At the happy hour you’ll meet current members, new guys, and the founder (me), and get a feel for how the small-group vibe works. No pressure, no awkward icebreakers — just a chill way to plug into the DC crew. If you want to come, start by[ ](https://form.typeform.com/to/DTAHl4GL)**[filling out a join request here.](https://form.typeform.com/to/DTAHl4GL)** After that, we'll get you set up in the app, and the location will be shown there.
