“honest drinks in good company.”

In 2009, we attended a number of Outlet Baltimore events, not knowing exactly what to expect, but really enjoying what we found. And what we found was a group of like-minded, interesting, friendly folks. Even then, there was a community forming around the basic, if unarticulated at the time, idea of “honest drinks in good company.”

Since the first series of Outlet Baltimore events, we’ve had the distinct privilege of working with Neal Shaffer of Slant Six Creative on a number of collaborative projects. So when Neal came to us with the idea of helping to organize Outlet Baltimore’s rebirth, we jumped at the chance.

That brings us to September 23, 2011. After a more than 2-year hiatus, Outlet Baltimore officially returns next Friday. Even more exciting is the fact that it’s coming to the Windup Space as part of Betascape 2011.

More answers to your questions around why we’re doing this and who should come can be found on the site. But the short answers are that we’re doing this because it’s needed. And if you’re a little sick of “networking” and would rather have a few drinks and interesting discussions with like-minded people, then you should come.

We hope to see you there.
