Things that have happened on September 10:

— 2015: Nieman Lab holds a happy hour for journalists, technologists, business-side types, and anyone else interested in the future of news.

Yes, it’s the long-awaited return of our once-monthly, occasionally occasional happy hour for Bostonians and near-Bostonians. You should come have a drink with us this Thursday, September 10, at 6 p.m. or so. We’re doing it again at The Field, which is in Central Square, roughly 8.2 seconds’ walk from the Central Square T stop and thus easily accessible to anyone with a Charlie Card.

You’ll probably find us in the side room on the left or on the patio out back, if it’s not raining. First five people to come up to me and repeat the magic phrase — “Every man a king, but no one wears a crown” — get a free beer on me.
