Having Survived St. Pattys Day at Monty's Korner, and bright media lights, DL lives to drink another day
Hey all you happy taxpayers,
So, I didn't make it to the St. Patrick's Day festivities, but I want to congratulate all who braved the crowds and survived the madness.
And to those of you who tried to find us that week, but couldn't, please give us another try! Normally on Thursday's at Monty's Korner, DL is like, IT.
Even so, a lot of people kind of come over kind of like "...um, are you the, you know, people that drink, and stuff?"
Should we make a banner and hang it over the booth? What would help and make sense?
Anyway, how about last week, with the Channel 13 interview? It actually showed Sunday night at 11 PM, it was the 3rd story in. I taped it but haven't seen it yet (yes, that's my life-- I haven't had time to watch a ^%$&^$ THREE MINUTE NEWS SEGMENT. Although if that's all I have to complain about, I guess I should just be quiet.
Fortunately, I have LOTS of other stuff to complain about. Anyone want to get t-shirts made with "I'm bitter. Ask me why!" :-) Just kidding. Not bitter, just tired.)
Where was I? Well, Jason and Sarah saw the news clip and said that it came across pretty well. Did anyone else see it and care to weigh in with their opinion?
Our e-mail list is up over 50 now, so if all of you come, we can take over the Korner.
So, I thought of a great drinking game. Someone reads the texts of W's speeches (or Delay's or Frist's), and anytime the word "integrity" or "responsibility" comes up, whomever laughs has to drink.
And anyone taking me up on the challenge of making a list of progressive drinks from buyblue.org?
Well, I need more sleep, so it's back to work for me, but in the meantime, remember:
Where: Monty's Korner
When: Tonight (and every Thurs) from 7-10 (or later for all you crazy
kids)
Why: because it's hip, happenin', solid, and otherwise right on
Hope to see you tonight!
Ted
The drinkin' of the green and the thinkin' of the blue -- tonight at Drinking Liberally Rochester
Hey all you fine citizens of the Reality-Based Community out there:
Come drink liberally with us tonight at Monty's Korner (355 East Avenue), 7-10 PM. It was great to meet you new folks last week, and I hope to meet even more of you this week. If I don't remember your name don't take it personal-like, I was bad with names even when I wasn't chronically sleep-deprived (pre-kids). If you can, just humor me and tell it to me again...
Should we have nametags? Seems kind of weird for a drinking crowd. Eh, we'll figure something out.
The number of folks subscribing to this list has gone up by 50% since last week (awesome!), so I guess some of you read the City paper article?
Regardless of how you found us, whether you're a DFA-er, a Kennedy Councilperson, or just a good ol' fashioned American patriot, you are more than welcome.
As always, please drink responsibly: no Coors! (There's a project for someone-- does anyone want to compile a list of Blue libations from buyblue.org?)
When you get to Monty's Korner, just look for one of the red, white, and blue wine bottles. Or one of the signs that our enterprising members are printing out and posting (many thanks to you guys!) We tend to start in one of the booths and annex tables into the room as we grow.
Cheers,
Ted
Join us tomorrow night for Drinking Liberally
Drinking Liberals,
I've been out of the loop for a couple weeks now since my fam and I got the flu (since I'm a good citizen and didn't get the flu shot like My President told me during the debates last year).
But I'm pleased to hear that DL-Rochester carried on (thanks Jason and Jami!) in my absence. I hope you all get a chance to check out our writeup in the City paper.
I'll be there tomorrow night, and hope you all can come too. I see there's 29 fun-loving American patriots signed up on this list now, and I'd love to see those I've met and meet those I haven't.
We'll be at Monty's Korner, as usual, starting at 7 PM. Look for the Red, White, and Blue bottle on the table. And remember, drink responsibly: no Coors!
Hoping to see you all there,
Ted
