We'\;re meeting at Burnside Park (named after Burnside\, a Cival War General) situated downtown next to Kenedy Plaza.

Local Trinity Brewhouse beer will be available at the bar they are setting up in the park for the evening.There will be a live band called Extra Golden. Here'\;s what the Times mentioned about them.\\"Extra Golden\, the Kenyan-American band\, hit upon funk as a byproduct of its style\, which blends Nairobian benga music and old-fashioned rock '\;n'\; roll. With a steady-thumping downbeat but much variation elsewhere — Onyango Wuod Omari\, the band'\;s drummer\, is a mischief-maker — the group makes its hybrid feel unlabored.\\" - New York Timeshttp\://rinexus.com/calendar/6277/young-professionals-night-burnside-park-downtown
