Drinking Liberally

Hey Liberals!

This is Mike Bryan. I will be hosting at meetings in September.

This week is a classic Drinking Liberally meeting. Come on down and ruminate about the primary results and the prospects in the general election. You never know who will show up, but most importantly YOU should be there.

Lift a few pints in celebration of your freedom to speak and assemble!

Use designated drivers and consume in moderation. Please drink responsibly.

Best Regards,
Michael Bryan

Drinking Liberally

Hello liberals,

We’ll keep doing “classics” for another couple of weeks, while candidates are making their last push before the primaries. Most of them visited with us at least once in the past. Some might just drop in again, for a short visit, like Vince Rabago -Az AG candidate- did last week. Let’s see who will show up Sunday.

For the month of September we plan on having a series of discussions on the propositions that will be on the ballot in November. Stay tuned, details to follow.

You may have an opportunity for free movie tickets (still working on it). Our friends at Participant Media are working on “Countdown to Zero”, a documentary about the threat of nuclear weapons.

PEDANTIC REMINDERS:
We don’t have a lot of rules at Drinking Liberally (for policy wonks, that is…), but please consider the following Eight Etiquette Suggestions:

I. Bringing some finger foods to share wouldn’t kill ya, would it? Seriously, it’s not wise to drink on an empty stomach!

II. Bring your friends and/or family. What, are you embarrassed of us? Your recommendation is the best way to help our community grow.

III. Bring your two ears as well as your one tongue, and use them proportionately.

IV. Introduce yourself, and tell others your news and interests. Don’t be shy, we like you, we really like you. Feel free to propose a toast when the mood strikes you, too.

V. Tip the wait staff liberally, or they might spit in your beer. (Well, not really – but it’s still the right thing to do)

VI. If you wish to smoke, step away from the other tables and make a temporary smoking table. The other jonesing nic-fiends in the group will quickly follow you, no doubt…

VII. Forward this email to your friends and family who you think might want to participate in Drinking Liberally. They can join our mailing list at http://livingliberally.org/drinking/

VIII. DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE! Know your limits and make liberal use of designated drivers. We want to see you back again next week!

Cheers!

Hello fellow liberals,

Come over The Shanty for an unusual edition, make new friends and enjoy the company of like-minded people.

This week our guest will be Dylan Smith from www.TucsonSentinel.com who will facilitate a discussion about the state of the news media, both national & local: the decline of newspapers, the movement towards nonprofit online news sites, and what people can do to ensure we remain an informed, engaged community.

So bring your own ideas to share while you share a pitcher, and lets raise our spirits again while we raise our glasses.
