This Wednesday: a Feministing happy hour and a farewell to remember

Hey NYC-ers, what are you doing this Wednesday night? If you answered “catching up with some of my favorite feminists, and bidding adieu to Courtney Martin,” then you’re probably headed to the Feministing Happy Hour at Sweet and Vicious!

As Vanessa mentioned last week, the Feministing crew and friends will soon be getting together to celebrate two very special things: the holidays and Courtney.

As you know, Courtney dropped the mic with her last day of officially editing the site in September. We’re incredibly sad to see her go, but are reassured by her commitment to always be part of the Feministing family and keep bringing her big brain and even bigger heart to the table. I for one can’t wait to celebrate the contributions and warmth of a feminist superstar and a great personal inspiration.

And as always, regardless of whatever holiday(s) you celebrate (or not), we hope you can join in the feminist yuletide!
