Announcing Gadling’s Happy Hour 2.0

Hot on the tail of our last happy hour in Brooklyn last month Gadling Labs is pleased to announce our second community happy hour in New York City at Lolita on the Lower East Side, Saturday May 14th from 7-9PM.

Once more we’re teaming up with the folks at Nomading Film Fest to make us look a bit less like travel nerds and more like good, sexy travel jocks. We’ll have all of our favorite travel friends there to chat with, and as special guests, the entire Gadling blogger team will also be circulating. Mixing. Gesticulating and friendicating.

Oh, and did we mention that we’re getting some kickass sponsors to join us? The Macallan®* will be providing a complimentary single-malt tasting from 7-8 and both Travelocity and Mastercard will be dishing out some freebies.

All that we need from you is your John Hancock on this Eventbrite form so that we can get wristbands and plan for your arrival. We have space for 125 people.

Never been to a Gadling/NoFF event? Here’s what you can expect:

  • Travel story pitching, brainstorming and note comparing at one of our favorite bars on the planet, Lolita.
  • A full range of travel writers, producers and editors from the NYC community
  • Absurd travel ego mashing (“Well, I’ve been to 8 continents and 476 countries”)
  • Stephen Greenwood, Gadling video blogger extraordinaire, getting cozy with PR contacts.
  • Shouting and pointing
  • Tacos
  • Post-happy-hour shenanigans

The last happy hour that Gadling and NoFF hosted was a blast, and we’re planning for nothing less this weekend. We hope to see you there.
