Freelancer Fridays at Blankspaces
CALENDAR CHECK

Freelancer Fridays at Blankspaces

In the freelancing world, there are two rules. 1) You occasionally need a lively office environment that's not your couch—hence Blankspaces. 2) You generally treat Thursdays as Fridays—hence their new monthly happy hour, with free food and drinks.

Dec 18 and every third Thursday thereafter, 6-9pm, Blankspaces, 5405 Wilshire Blvd (at Cloverdale), Miracle Mile, 323-330-9505, RSVP

Friday

Mon-Fri, 5-7pm, Bar Chloe, 1449 Second St (between Santa Monica and Broadway), Santa Monica, 310-899-6999
