I am pleased to announce that my company Navstar, Inc. will be sponsoring tonight’s Social Media Club DC – Mid-Summer Happy Hour [July 29, 2009 from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM (ET)] at Bar Louie in Chinatown, Washington, DC.
This event is brought to you by Social Media Club DC and Navstar to introduce the new leadership team, including myself as Executive Vice President and Programming Director. I am very excited to be taking on this role for the team. I have already dived into the position and I can tell you great things are in the works for this fall, including a trip to wine country with DC Tech Adventure.
In lieu of a formal event for July, Social Media Club DC is getting together for a little networking, a couple cool drinks, and a lot of fun.
Please join myself, colleagues from [@Navstar and @CocoNavstar] at Bar Louie on July 29. We’ll be in the back room, with drink specials available for Social Media Club members. As of the time I am writing this I have not yet decided what I will be wearing – but I will have a nametag. I promise, even though we are in the middle of a hot one this summer I will wear my hair down. And those of you going by my twitter avatar pic who have not met me yet, let me warn you, my hair has grown out longer.
Aside from being a fun way to unwind with fellow DC geeks [nerds and technoweenies too!] after a long work day, the July event will also give you a chance to meet and share ideas with our new leadership team.
I am very happy to mark this occasion as a kick off to the new leadership team, some of which I am also meeting for the first time. Looking at the list of RSVP’s I see many names of people I have been dying to meet for some time. If you are wondering if you are one of those people, you are. So come say hi, seriously.
As my company is sponsoring my first event as Programming Director of SMC-DC, there will be plenty to nibble on for snacks and drink specials. [HH specials: $3 draft, $5 wine, $7 signature cocktails]. We will be in the back room so look for the Navstar Banner. In addition, remember to bring your business cards for a chance to win tickets to a Nationals game. These seats are amazing. I love that you are right on the first base line and if you care to know, a short distance from the drink stand. Let’s hope Teddy wins at the game you go to.
As a reminder, here’s the information on the new club leaders, so you can feel free to connect with them prior to the event, as always you can follow @smcdc for all the news and happenings.

Me being silly during a webcast last year, p.s. I’ve lost a lot of weight since then…
