Black List Happy Hours Coming to Your City!

I posted this a few weeks back:

Since 2014, The Black List has hosted happy hours on the first Wednesday of every month at Melrose Umbrella Company in Los Angeles, where hundreds of screenwriters come, meet fellow writers, hang out, and talk shop over a few drinks.

But we don’t all live in Los Angeles.

So, The Black List wants to expand its monthly happy hours to towns all over the country (and even the world). The Black List will supply promotional materials, marketing copy, access to Eventbrite to manage RSVPs, prizes for your guests and more. Founder and CEO Franklin Leonard plans to visit happy hours that reach RSVPs of 75 or more, so if you’re really successful, you can ask Franklin himself your burning questions about The Black List and its services for screenwriters.

Since that time, things have firmed up in the following cities:

Albuquerque, NM
Atlanta, GA
Chicago, IL
Minneapolis, MN
San Francisco, CA
Toronto, ON

As I understand it, the plan is to meet the first Wednesday of every month. There are locations for each of the cities above, so if you’re in the area, check it out. Having participated in many Black List social events in Los Angeles and New York, I can attest to their value as well as the fun factor, a good opportunity to meet up with fellow writers.

The events are free and open to the public (cash bar).
