FND at Hugo Barrera with the Blow Up Band

Friday Night Drinks will be returning this coming Friday, Sept 30 to the Hugo Barrera club. We'll have music this time and lots of it - with a live performance by Ernie and his pals in the Blow Up band. We'll also have free welcome drinks for all FNDers who arrive between 9 and 9.30 pm. So join us and invite a friend or two, and hopefully discover a few new ones as well!

For those who may have missed our previous event at the Jazz Club Gajo, you can find a few photos online here (thanks to our FND photographer Ian Middleton):

Friday Night Drinks at Jazz Club Gajo

Friday Night Drinks is finally returning this Friday after a long summer break. We'll be meeting at the Jazz Club Gajo, a fantastic outdoor venue located on Cankarjeva cesta between the Opera house and Tivoli Park.

We hope you'll join us on Friday to help kick off the new season of FND! We'll have a group of tables reserved for FNDers somewhere close to the bar. So remember to mark the date on your calendar and invite any of your friends who'd like to join us!

In the event of bad weather, our backup plan is to meet down the street at the Opera bar.

See you on Friday!

Friday Night Drinks at Hugo Barrera

This month's Friday Night Drinks will be taking place this coming Friday, April 8th at the Hugo Barrera club (located between Preseren square and the main marketplace). We have a groovy night planned for all of you with a special live interstellar performance by our favorite band of Smokin' Aliens! The fun will start as usual at about 8:30pm - if you are new to FND please look for us downstairs by the bar. The entrance is free if you arrive before 10pm, and you'll even get a free drink ( as long as it's a flaming B-52 cocktail :-)

Be sure to mark the date on your calendar and pass the word along to any friends who might like to join the fun. Once again, keep in mind that for chatting and making new acquaintances, it's best to arrive early before the band starts cranking out their tunes at about 10pm... after that, the party will be in full swing!

We look forward to seeing you on Friday at Hugo Barrera!

Friday Night Drinks Report # 54

Thanks to all who turned up last week for Friday Night Drinks at Hugo Barrera. We had a very interesting crowd this month and another lively performance by the Blow-up band.

Our usual FND photographer, Ian Middleton, wasn't able to make it last Friday (he just became a father!), but we were fortunate to have another FNDer with camera. A big thanks to Miroslava Andric for taking some great photos, which you can see on our facebook page. You can find more samples of her work here.

Thanks also to Hugo Barrera for providing us with some free snacks and shots of B52s. We look forward to seeing everyone again next month. More details will follow by email and also on the FB page. Be sure to pass the word along to any friends who might like to join us!
