*Update 10.17: We’re going to be in the Up Bar—upstairs and to the right—at Pratt St. When you enter, ask the hostess where to go. See you there!

*Update 10.14: We’re on for sure. Pratt St. has yet to let me know which room we’ll be in, but we’ve got a spot reserved, so plan on it. I will update everyone with the specific room information when I hear.

Wouldn’t it be fun to try an American Studies Association tweetup? We’re fomenting one on Friday night of the conference (10/21), from 6-9, at the Pratt Street Alehouse, which appears to feature tasty food and craft-y beer and is within handy two-block walking distance from the conference hotel (map).

If we can promise the establishment twenty guests, we can reserve the Pratt. St “Lounge” for free. So, if you’re interested in attending, please @ me (@rebeccaonion) and let me know. Lounging is better than not lounging. It is known.
