+Drinkkit
+=========================================================================================
+Drinkkit is a FourSquare/Gowalla "clone" written in Django (GeoDjango, to get specific).
+It was written out of two needs/desires:
+
+    1) The author wanted to learn more geolocation crap.
+    2) The Stewart/Colbert Rallies in DC were largely pushed by the efforts of members from
+        Reddit.com, and there'll no doubt be massive bar crawls going on. It'd be cool if there
+        was an easier way for Redditors to get to know one another, so this is one solution.
+
+It's optimized to run on just about *any* phone/device with an internet connection, and could
+be expanded to work outside the DC metro area if someone wants to handle it.
+
+
+Requires for Dev Work
+=========================================================================================
+Install GeoDjango (I leave this to you, as anything involving this is annoying)
+Setup Postgres/PostGIS (see: annoying)
+Sync and run this app
+
+
+Documentation?
+=========================================================================================
+The source is fairly well documented and/or readable. If you have further questions, feel
+free to open a ticket or email me directly.
