I live in English, dream in English and even talk to my cat in English - but my native language is Finnish, first language I learnt was Russian, then after English - Swedish and French. Then moved to Spain, was conversational by the time I moved to Thailand - I learned few words and sentences... Now I'm picking up Greek.... ;)

YES to drink! As it will make people feel more relaxed to meet new people and make new friends.
VENUE? A Bar that's willing to potentially fill a half used space (think of a bar / club usually half / totally empty) and put an offer on for set price on say wine & beer????
