Maybe you'll be basking in post-Valentine love, maybe you'll feel a bit more Werther-like, or maybe you don't even care -- regardless, you need to have a drink with us on the 15th. We'll be at the just-a-few-months-old Citizen Public House in the Fenway. They have a staggering whisk(e)y list and Fernet on tap. At the risk of over-promising: you will find happiness here.

Bring some friends or come alone. Cash bar.

Our friends from Appleton Estate Rum will be joining us this month, with a special drink list and some other surprises. As if you needed one more reason to come...

Ok, fine...I'll give you another reason: we'll be giving away some concert tickets. There will be a drawing for tickets for Handel & Society, Opera Boston, the Boston Classical Guitar Society, and maybe one or two others. Happy yet?

If you've never heard of our group before, here's the story: Opus Affair is a mix of artists and non-artists who get together each month for cocktails and to chat about the arts scene in Boston...or whatever else. Some people come for serious networking, others come for fun. There's no program -- just a chance to have a few drinks with other young professionals interested in the fine arts. Whether you're an arts professional, serious enthusiast, or total newbie, you are welcome to join us.
