I’m visiting the Detroit area next week and while there we will be hosting a Laughing Squid Detroit Drinkup on Wednesday, August 20th at the Royal Oak Brewery in Royal Oak. I’ll be there with Frank Escamilla, who just joined the Laughing Squid team. Rumor has it that Laughing Squid’s director of special projects John Law will be in attendance as well.
We’re meeting for drinks at 7pm and if you are coming, please RSVP on Upcoming.
Fun facts about Royal Oak:
