We know Mondays are awful, and we want to help out. Here are some things to look forward to:
- Starting Nov. 19, the Gin & Tonic Tavern in Georgetown will host a “Progressive Happy Hour” Thursday through Saturday from 5-9 p.m. Beers start at $1, mixed drinks at $2, with prices going up each hour.
- This weekend marks the opening of the National Gallery of Art’s ice skating rink at the Sculpture Garden.
- Celebrate the end of Monday classes at the Black Rooster Pub, which is scheduled to re-open today, according to DCist.com.
And some good news: The staff of the Washington Blade has already united to launch another LGBT newspaper, just hours after learning that their parent company, Window Media, had filed for bankruptcy, according to reports from the Washington City Paper and Politico. The new publication does not yet have a name.
