Back to Basics: Summer Breezin' at DBAR

Co-sponsored by MadFemmePride

We're taking it back to where the QWOC+ Boston socials first started. Show up after work in your loosened ties and summer jackets, come straight from home in your summer shorts, or even from the gym with your addidas gear still on. We don't care as long as you're ready to mix, mingle, and get down to some great old school hits courtesy of DJ D'hana and DJ Empressive's ipod. The social ends promptly at 11PM so show up early enough to reconnect with old friends, make some new ones, and leave with qwoc+ boston summer memories.
