Friday: Homo Hotel Happy Hour Turn 1

From party-starter, Aaron Riggins:

A year ago this October, Homo Hotel Happy began on the roof of the Beacon Hotel with a mere 35 attendees and group members. Today, close to 800 individuals receive the announcements and over 200 attend the monthly events. Come celebrate Homo Hotel Happy Hour’s first birthday at one of Washington, DC’s most distinguished luxury hotels, the impeccable Madison Hotel. This time around, the event will have several key enhancements.

First of all, this month's event will be on a Friday and have slightly extended hours of 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.

As a gift to HHHH’s loyal attendees, MIXTAPE’s talented DJs, Shea Van Horn and Matt Bailer, will be providing their expertise in music selection live from the Madison Hotel. MIXTAPE is a new monthly dance party on the third Saturday of the month. Shea and Matt will be giving you a preview of what to expect at their next event taking place the following evening. Check out MIXTAPE’s page on Facebook and their website.

Beginning this month, Homo Hotel Happy Hour will partner with a local LGBT charity, cause, service organization or other LGBT community group. HHHH will be working with the hotel bar to have a portion of the drink special profits for that month to be contributed to the selected LGBT partner.

October’s LGBT partner is the DC Young Film Supporters of Reel Affirmations 18: The Nation’s LGBT Film Festival. The festival begins Thursday night, with its opening film at the Lincoln Theater followed by an opening party at Town Danceboutique. The Young Film Supporters (branded Y.Fi.S.) of Reel Affirmations will be on hand to distribute materials, hold ticket giveaways, and provide discounted ticket sales for the festival.
