FW: Drinking Liberally

Colleagues,

I know that not all of you are liberals, and even fewer are willing to admit it, but I thought you might like to know that this group has been rekindled. A chance to discuss your feelings about our Contemporary Nero: He who tweets while Rome Burns. Or was that Caligula? I can never keep them straight.

In Houston this Friday. Please take good notes.

Nick

Hi guys,

I totally forgot to send out this email yesterday, sorry. Today's meeting will be at Second St. Brewery in the Railyard at 7pm. We had a great turnout and some really great discussions last week; lets keep growing. Hope to see you there.

Aha! Thanks for that reminder. I totally forgot about our local DL group(s). The local groups were large under BushII ... I bet we'll have trouble finding venues under the Cheeto Jesus. I'll look more like a liberal with him in the white house, too. >8^D

Re: FW: Drinking Liberally

My (former) sister-in-law was a DNC organizer extra-ordinaire and when I
was in Berkeley (05, 06) she came out to do a dozen things including
showing up for a local Drinking Liberally meetup.

They happened to pick my favorite "biker bar" in SFo... "Zeitgeist"
which catered equally to gnarly Harley riders and even gnarlier bike
messengers. I'd been there many times so I asked her why they picked
it, and she said it was he "hippest place" for her demographic.

Her demographic turned out to be mostly second-wave yuppies. They looked
*totally * out of place in their Izod shirts and slacks and loafers, but
there were enough of them to make their own bubble and the staff worked
hard to make them comfortable.

I'd love to see a "Gnarly Bikers against Trump" rally.

Sigh. Their are so many things wrong with over thinking 'HipPlace'.....

When I do my meetups I pick places I like. Turns out the 10-15 people that show up to them also like them.

How about this also humorous notion:

Biker Monks For Sanity. Both types of monks. Might as well toss in a few Uber Geeks being Jedi.. Bikiing around to peddling strange notions like:

What would Common Sense Dude say? and Beer is Good. a bit tongue in cheek. but could work.

And isn't drinking (Water at least) Liberally a Good Thing? Suposedly redwine in moderation is a good thing to. Something about digestion, bloodpressure, and imune boost. I suspect something in that urban legend got lost in translation though.
