[Carfreeliving] Car Free Happy Hour announcement

[Jason Henderson]

Dave,
Won't make it to either of these as I will be presenting my paper on 
"secessionist automobility" at a geography conference in Denver. I hope 
this BAC LOS discussion is fruitful and that we see real reform very 
soon. Hopefully I'll find a good IPA-serving establishment in Denver 
too. Later.
