We know the past few weeks have been a drag – what with government shutdowns and political paralysis in our nation’s Capital. Well, we know what will cheer you up: The Sunlight Open House is just a few days away!

We just wanted to remind you to come out to our D.C. office this Wednesday, October 30 and celebrate Halloween with Sunlight! (If you’ve been to one of our open houses before, you know we pull out all the stops with our high-tech decor.) From 6 to 9:30 pm, you can join us for some drinks, check out the latest in Sunlight’s tech and bring stories of your work along, too.

And just in time – Sunlight HQ just got a facelift, and we’re eager to share our new digs and spooky stylings with the transparency community we know best: you! (And let’s face it – open government could hardly seem more important these days, right?)

As always, there will be beer, games and general tech geekery. We’ll provide the goods, if you bring the cheer! But please remember to RSVP so we can provide enough food and libations.

So come raise a glass to #opengov with the Sunlight family on October 30th. Please feel free to forward this to invite your friends, too. Hope to see you there!
