Even the 19th century had a drug war...

Absinthe Makes the Heart Grow Fonder: a cocktail bash & networking event to benefit the Drug Policy Alliance

Hosted by Gita Drury, DeDe Dunevant, Helena Durst, Talia Eisenberg, Julie Holland, Howard Josepher, Jasiu Krajewski, John Mailer, Matt Namer, Tony Newman, Richard Perl, Daniel Pinchbeck, Tracy Quan, Gabriel Sayegh, Clovis Thorn, and Annabel Vartanian.

The event features celebrity DJ Coleman. There will be light appetizers and an open bar.

We will be serving Le Tourment Vert absinthe, donated specifically for this event.

Celebrate the near one-year anniversary of absinthe being re-legalized in the U.S. Try some — because you can. Bring your friends.

And consider...Why was absinthe re-legalized? Why was it ever illegal?

Join the conversation. Get questions answered. Find out how the drug war has grown, spread, and lives on. And find out what you can do to end it.

This private gallery space will also be showing “Flash, Cash and Trash” an exhibition by young contemporary artists on the decadence of the 1990s.
