Despite the drizzly, grizzly weather and the ridiculous gridlock, DC Magazine's Retail Happy Hour at Le Bar pulled in a sizable number, especially for a Monday night.  The Sofitel staff, including Le Bar's gracious manager, David Kianni, and DC Magazine staff, including Erica Litman, helped this time-frazzled photographer get settled in and shooting in no time. 

Among those spotted at the happy hour, DC's photography community found great representation with 3 talented shooters--Moshe Zusman, Muriel Silva & Michael Domingo--seen chatting with other young professionals. 

For more information on this event, make sure to pick up a copy of DC Magazine in a month or two and check out their Scene in DC section.

Enjoy the photos...

On U Street, where 18th and Florida meet, there sits a sweet restaurant called Dahlak, home to delicious Ethiopian food and Ten Miles Square's newest exhibit "I'm With the Band."  Photographers, photo-lovers, friends and family all came out to view the concert image works of Kyle Gustafson, Nestor Diaz, and Martin Locraft.  On the decks was DJ Chris Nitti who kept the music bumpin throughout the evening even though there were times when dancing was not an option due to the incredible turnout.
