You’re Invited: The First-Ever The Merriweather Post Happy Hour

Hi Subscribers,

I'm hosting The Merriweather Post's first-ever happy hour — and if you're a paid subscriber at any level, you're invited. Encore and The Collective Offshore have generously offered up the Encore space right on Lake Kittamaqundi to host us, and you'll get their happy hour pricing all evening — one of the best happy hours in one of the best locations in Columbia.

Here’s the pitch. Over the past several years this blog has built up a readership of people who genuinely care about this county — how it grows, how it’s governed, and where it’s headed. You’re the people who read the whole thing: the back-of-envelope math, the land records, the deep-dive analysis, and the part where I admit I was wrong about something. You’re my kind of people, and I’d like to actually meet some of you.

So come out. Put faces to names. Tell me your take on something I’ve written — and if your take is that I got it wrong, even better. I started this blog because I believe shared knowledge makes for better local debate, and there’s no better version of that than in person, over a drink, with the people who actually live here and share a passion for where we live. No agenda, no programming, no fundraising or ask. Just good conversation with folks who care about the same things you do, in a great spot on the lake.

Details and RSVP are viewable below for paid subscribers.
