We're celebrating our 9th birthday on March 29, and we want you to be there! Join us at Sudhouse, located at 1340 U Street NW, to commemorate nine awesome years.

Greater Greater Washington staff, contributors, readers, and supporters will be there for an evening of drinks, snacks, and conversation. Sudhouse has limited space, so please let us know if you’re coming!

The party is free (Sudhouse has put together a great happy hour menu that will be available through a cash bar), but it’s also the end of our reader drive. Please help us hit our goal of $30,000 by making a monthly or one-time contribution now!
