Now a days there are all kinds of things you can do at a bar with your friends. Long gone are the days of just sitting around drinking and maybe hitting the dance floor once or twice. Now you can play pool, you can sing karaoke, you can learn to paint, you can play trivia and the newest rage is you can learn to etch glass.  Who needs a wine charm dangling from you wine glass to say "Hey that one's mine" when you can etch your name or something else on it instead.

Zulu Time the roof top bar at the Hotel Thayer at West Point has lots of weekly events that are worth checking out but this monthly activity is definitely made for a fun night out with friends. This Wednesday from 6:30 to 8:30 pm you can  learn to etch glass by etching a Stemless Wine Glass, a Beer Stein or a Pint Glass. Registration and Prepayment is required. The class and live instruction costs $20 and includes one glass and one complimentary glass of wine or beer. If you plan on having dinner you need to arrive between 5:30 and 6:30 pm. Your food will not be included in the class price.
