It’s also nearly the time of year to get excited about the next annual Exposed DC Contest! Join us on Wednesday December 3 for our contest launch happy hour at Bluejacket. Also don’t forget to stop by the extended run of our Instant DC Fall Review at Bloombars through December 14. Meanwhile, we hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
