Oakland Non-Monogameetup -- February [FKA Oakland Poly Happy Hour]

IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ:

Our Oakland Happy Hour has moved to a new location. We're now at DREXL at 382 19th St. Oakland, CA 94612. 

The name of our event is also changing to "Oakland Non-monogameetup" to avoid concerns from the bar that people might expect a happy hour menu.
