I was at Canal Club tonight for Slider Monday ( 1/2 price beer, $2.50 sliders) , with my #1 research team, and  the general consensus is that the Venice Happy Hour would be a much happier place if you (wisened readers) got to contribute your very valuable opinions on where to go, what to drink, etc. My delightful little webhost, who is cheap and easy ( ahem) doesn't enable that feature as of yet, but... well, I do. SO! Don't be shy- Facebook or Twitter or ol'fashioned email me (jezz@venicehappyhour.com)  what you have to say, and I will happily include, explore, etc. A  poll feature will be up and  running soon, don't be a stranger. BTW- Its First Friday this weekend on Abbot Kinney- the street will be outrageous as usual... get your tummy ready for the taco trucks, and your wallet ready for a party at the Stronghold- it's sure to be a busy night!
