spj events.happy hours

What is the best strategy for happy hours?

we have been moving around.

What is most important? Price? location:? drink specials? should we go to the same place every other week (mona lounge, perhaps?) and then alternative around the city?
how many people are comming? do open bars work?--would you pay 35 bucks for 3 hours all you can drink , top shelf?

so far we've been doing this in the dark (big props to Aaron C. and Rubina and Mary Grace), ..just trying to get a feel.

soon we should have formal board (election noms close friday i think), and i think everyone is waiting until the last minute. i'll probably run for something too. any one out there interested in events chair?
