The time has come, my fellow Americans, to Drink Liberally!
Hey all you crazy cats and kittens,Get hip that that kooky far-out hip, happening, and otherwise, right-on event known as Rochester's Drinking Liberally! It's going down, in accordance with scripture, at the following locale:
Where: Monty's Korner
When: Tonight (and every Thursday), 7PM
Ok, I had a little too much coffee this morning, but by cracky if it wasn't free/fair trade, so I'm even drinking coffee liberally! How blue am I?
That's right, true blue to the core, baby.
It was great to meet the elusive, but very cool, Chuck last week. And Jamie, you are so on tap (hey, a DL pun! wheee!) for that Drinking Liberally mix CD! I was thinking, can you bring a copy tonight? We can trade it off and offer commentary.
I was thinking, I see a lot of very cool bumper stickers in parking lots. My wife started to chat with a woman whose car was bumper sticker'd up in a most progressive way, and found out that she'd never heard of DL but thought it was cool. By jiminy, there's an ocean of cool car owners out there people! Let's at least let them know about this cool happening. I'll be printing out some flyers provided by Our Leaders on the DL website, and bringing them to the meeting tonight.
I may be a little late, so enjoy the first round without me!
Oh, one other thing, I've gotten the feeling that some folks have felt a little left out because they felt like they weren't really "drinkers". I feel really bad if this was your experience with DL. I can't say loudly enough, that we are here primarily as a crossroads, or a cracker barrel of sorts that folks can gather around and talk about the things that matter, instead of tiptoeing around "How's the weather" conversations like we're so often forced to these days.
DL Rochester is first and foremost a meeting place for progressives who want to meet and talk to other progressives, and I don't care if you order a double water on the rocks, ginger ale, or NOTHING. Just come and know that you'll be welcomed with open arms, and respect for whomever you are.
Let Karl Rove and other Machievellian politicians do the dividing, and let's keep growing these connections we're forging. America is in a tough spot right now, and we need all hands on deck. Or at least listening at those listening thingys that old ships used to have.
Stopping now with the bad maritime metaphors, I remain,
Your humble servant,
Ted
