EVENT TONIGHT: The Recombobulation Area's Community Happy Hour at Third Space Brewing in Milwaukee!
Join us from 5-7 p.m. If you're a paid subscriber, your first drink is on us. That's right.
The Recombobulation Area is a thirteen-time NINETEEN-TIME Milwaukee Press Club award-winning weekly opinion column and online publication founded by longtime Milwaukee journalist Dan Shafer. The Recombobulation Area is now part of Civic Media.
Folks, today is the day.
We’re getting together at Third Space Brewing in Milwaukee from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. for our second annual Community Happy Hour!
I’ll be there with members of the Civic Media team to celebrate with you, our loyal readers and subscribers. We’re really proud of the community we’re building with The Recombobulation Area, and we’re excited to share in that community with you this evening.
This event is happening in part because we just celebrated our biggest sale of the year on April 14 — Milwaukee Day! — and we want to show our appreciation for those of you who have made this publication possible with your support. If you took advantage of this sale, or if you are a paid subscriber in any capacity, your first drink is on us!
(We’ll be sending a separate email to paid subscribers that can be redeemed for a free drink.)
And hey, it’s not too late! You could always subscribe now, support another year of award-winning, independent journalism in Milwaukee and Wisconsin, and have yourself a drink to celebrate. Why not, right?!?
Several contributors and supporters and members of the Civic Media team will be there in attendance this evening, and we’ll be giving away some free tickets to see an upcoming Milwaukee Brewers game (!) and more.
If you’re going to be there, it would be a great help to RSVP to our event on Facebook, so we know what kind of crowd to be planning for.
This isn’t a live podcast or a panel discussion or anything like that. We’ll have more of those in the future, to be sure. This is simply an opportunity to be together and share in the community we’re all building with The Recombobulation Area.
A couple little FAQ’s:
Third Space does not serve food, but carry-in food is welcome
Third Space is a kid-friendly space, so feel free to bring the whole fam!

If you have any other questions, leave a comment below. Otherwise, we’ll look forward to seeing you this evening!
