For 16 years (off and on) we've been hosting a party in DC on Thanksgiving Eve, celebrating the joys of good company amongst our friends and loved ones before we spend the weekend feasting with our families. This year, asking our community to embrace gratitude in the midst of the current global mood feels like we are demanding that they run a gauntlet through the pervasive grief, rage, horror and heartbreak that so many of us are carrying in the wake of events beyond our control. So we're not going to ask that. But...
if y'all need a break from it all,
if you feel the call,
if you need some lush beats and uplifting tunes
if you feel like basking amidst warm company in a welcoming room
if you need a stiff drink or two,
if you'd appreciate the solidarity of an understanding crew,
we invite you to come through...
