D.C. is back and ready for an eventful 2009! We had our first party at K Street Lounge on January 27, and they were generous enough to put the first round of drinks for our guests on the house! Guests also enjoyed two-for-one drink specials for the first hour and got to learn about our upcoming courses, too.
