Attn, DC Reasonoids: Celebrate Hit & Run's 3rd B-Day with Andrew Sullivan, Mike Godwin, and Tim Cavanaugh
What: A happy hour celebrating the third birthday of Reason magazine's staff blog, Hit & Run, winner of the Los Angeles Press Club's Southern California Journalism Awards for best weblog in 2004 and 2005.
Hit & Run, which features "continuous news, views, and abuse" by the Reason staff, has been called "the best libertarian blog" by Playboy; one of "the best political blogs" by Washingtonian; and "lively and interesting" by the Wall Street Journal. (More here.) (Psst…We're also currently in first place in the "best group blog" category at The 2005 Weblog Awards; help pad our lead by voting here.)
Where: Dragonfly, 1215 Connecticut Avenue NW, Washington, DC
When: Wednesday, December 14, starting at 6:30PM.
