Enjoy $2 microbrewed beer and $3 rail drinks until 9pm---as well as munchies and $5 off tickets to the big March 25th HeartThrob Ball at the Reagan Building! Rock Bottom (http://www.rockbottom.com/html/rb79.html) has quickly become a part of Arlington's growing nightlife, and we expect this event to be one of the month's major happenings. The set for this scene will be the back bar area, so look for us there! WHEN? Thursday, February 17th, 2000 WHERE? Rock Bottom Brewery Glebe Wing, Ballston Commons Mall 4238 Wilson Boulevard, No. 1256 Arlington, Virginia 22203 Tel. (703) 516-7688 TIME? 6:30 - 9:00pm Taste the new brews, ales, and lagers of Arlington's newest pub and microbrewery! Choose from Potomac Pale Ale, Radio Towers Red, Spout Run Porter, Ballston Brown, Mother Martha's Lite, and more (see http://yp.washingtonpost.com/E/V/WASDC/0025/22/79/5.html for a complete listing of featured beers and ingredients). Conveniently located near I-66, Route 50, and the Metrorail in Ballston, Rock Bottom is a great new addition to the booming pub scene. It also has plenty of room, great food, drink, and music--- and Ballston Commons Mall has levels and levels of cheap garage parking! Again, this happy hour is open to all, and there is no cover charge. This is the perfect event to bring friends to, and it will afford many chances to mingle with friends, HeartThrob Ball guests, and the 100+ members of the 2000 Host Committee! The 2000 HeartThrob Ball will be held on Saturday, March 25th, 2000, and will feature three contagious sets of music by the Velveteens (see http://yp.washingtonpost.com/E/E/WASDC/0001/60/92/ for a recent Washington Post review of the band). The event will take place again at the colossal and ever-improving Ronald Reagan Building, and we think the fact that Party Digest gave last year's event a bad review be a sign to everyone that if they didn't go last year, they should definitely go this year. This year's new committee members and hosts are committed to continuing the tradition of upgrading and updating the Ball, and building on the great record of success this event has enjoyed. For pictures from last year's HeartThrob Ball, see the Monthly Buzz photo album at http://www.monthlybuzz.com/dc/events/032799/index.html. All proceeds will benefit the American Heart Association. See our new Website at http://www.HeartThrobBall.com for more and to purchase tickets online using your credit card. One more warm-up event will be held before the Ball on March 10th. Stay tuned for details, but mark your calendars now! John Fedewa Suzy Glucksman john_fedewa@yahoo.com sglucksman@hotmail.com Co-Chairman Co-Chairman Host Committee Host Committee
