First Friday LGBTQ+ Social

This event is ideal for making new friends, professional networking, idea-sharing, and community building. Or just unwind and enjoy the extended happy hour. It’s free to attend. About 50 LGBTQ+ folk are expected.

Please RSVP at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/184311068367 so we have an accurate headcount. The first 50 to RSVP will get in.

Our beloved venue, The Pinzimini Lounge at the Westin Hotel, has been reborn and renamed as The Commentary! Please join us on Friday, November 5 from 7 pm to 9 pm and see all the wonderful new amenities at The Commentary and catch up with each other.

You can still enter from the hotel side; but, you will see a brand new entrance dedicated solely to The Commentary. The menu also has changed to an All American eatery infusing East Coast ingredients with a West Coast flair. Of course the staff still will be fabulous. And complimentary hotel parking will still be available once you purchase a drink and have the manager sign your parking card.

The Commentary is about coming together and connecting in conversation and shared experiences.

As Madonna said, “Come join the party…”
