We will be running a series of live shows at Hard Times Cafe in Bethesda, Maryland with the first one set to go down this Thursday evening. Budweiser and Hard Times Cafe have agreed to be our sponsors and we are looking to build on a rather simple format: provide free beer, talk some football, play Beirut and get pumped for the 2011 NFL season.

We intend to invite at least one special guest (to be determined for each show), and incorporate a brief panel discussion/Q&A into an evening that will otherwise be dominated by celebrating the upcoming season.

We'll get things started around 7 PM at Hard Times Cafe in Bethesda. The address is: 4920 Del Ray Avenue, Bethesda, MD 20814

Our good friends at Budweiser have kindly volunteered to provide us with some beer for the occasion, and we never say no to that. We hope that you will all be able to make it out to the event. We look forward to meeting all of you there.
