Chicago

Hey everyone,
Just a reminder that we'll be having our normal meeting this Tuesday, April 28th at 7pm in the back room at Sheffield's, 3258 N Sheffield Ave.

And remember that this weekend is the Progressive Magazine conference up in Madison, Wisconsin. You may enjoy this cartoon I made for the conference on the the Progressive's website. If you're going, be sure to let me know.

Also, mark your calendars for Saturday night, May 16th for a free Netroots Nation Salon and Drinking Liberally post-party. More info on this soon.

Hope to see you Tuesday!

What would you do if you had the chance to meet an all-star line up of liberals including Robert Redford, Amy Goodman, Howard Zinn, Naomi Klein, Russ Feingold, Tammy Baldwin, Dennis Kucinich, Cindy Sheehan, Jim Hightower, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Katrina vanden Heuvel and many, many more?

What if you had the chance to meet them all in one place and all in one weekend?

And what if that weekend also happened to be celebrating the 100 year anniversary of one of the finest liberal publications in the country, the Progressive?

Well, if you're anything like me, you'd head to Madison, Wisconsin May 1st and 2nd for the Progressive Magazine Conference.

If you're like Rush Limbaugh, however, you'd probably advise your ditto-heads to avoid Madison at all costs.

Hey everyone,
Just a reminder that our next Drinking Liberally will be Tuesday, April 14th in the back room at Sheffield's, 3258 N Sheffield Ave, at 7pm.

Also, we were asked to let everyone know about a really cool conference that's happening up in Madison, WI.

I'll actually be going up there for it. Madison's but a short ways away, and it's a cool opportunity to see a ton of great progressive speakers.

Hope to see you Tuesday!
