IMPORTANT - Meeting update: The Coffee House is so new that they do not have a sign up yet. Their banner was destroyed in a storm that hit, so it's hard to find the place. It's to the LEFT of "NICOLES" which is a fitness place.

Beer! Brass! & BS @ Opal Divines - 4/19 Recap

This was a great meet-up which included a special performance by The Wondrous Strange Players, an acting troupe based at The Community Renaissance Market Theater.

They performed a great and hilarious presentation of Victorian Etiquette and I look forward to catching one of their performances soon!

Grab an updated listing of performance here:

In addition to their performance they also had a drawing for 4 prizes, 2 tie clips and 2 metal hair accessories. I lucked out and won one of the hair accessories, pictures to come once I have a chance to shoot them.
