Drinking Liberally Denver Chapter Blog

See you there!

Hey, the state legislature starts the same day (a little earlier) as the next Dl Denver. What bills do you want to see them pass?

Since our visit with Rep Ferrandino didn't work out too well a few weeks ago we're going to have him back again soon. I'm going to also try to schedule city councilman Chris Nevitt. Details soon. Who else would you like to see come bye?

Because next Wednesday is the 24th, and the following is the 31st. Besides, it's not like you have money for Christmas presents this year. So, come on down and have a pint of one of those recession proof beverages and talk some politics.

Join us tomorrow for Drinking Liberally Denver with HD2 Representative Mark Ferrandino. The first pitcher is on me.

DL Denver also exists on Facebook, google calendar, iCal, and RSS

In other news, Eating Liberally Denver is no more. Sadly, reservation making was a real pain the butt.

Sorry for the second email in a day. I'm slacking. Maybe it's all the tryptophan from leftover turkey sandwiches.

This is just a simple reminder of Drinking Liberally Denver tonight. No special guests tonight other than you. But, the first pitcher of 1554 is on me. The Sexy pizza is on all of us.

Next week Rep. Mark Ferrandino will join us and hopefully we can pry some of the legislative priorities out of him.

Gobble gobble,
Kath and Sarah

I don't have any special news or announcements this time. But, thanks to the new folks who came out last week to play pin the crime on the Bush administration official. Maybe it's a testament to the power of the internet but no one got worse than one wrong item.

For those that missed it, the special announcement was the CO-06 candidacy of David Canter. By starting as early as possible Mike Coffman should have a serious run for his money in 2010.

Sexy Pizza is now up and running. They've officially made the name change and have a website up. Looking at their menu, they do have wings, and garlic bread, and a bunch of other stuff. We'll keep ordering their discounted pizzas, but if someone wants something different one night, we can do that too.

I had a nice conversation with now State Senator Morgan Carroll the other day. She's going to try to stop by tomorrow and perhaps talk about some of the bills she's working on introducing. The legislature is really ramping up now, so I don't think I can hold her to this invite. But, her main scheduler in chief has it on his schedule.

Now that we're every week, there's less importance on sending out these emails. I could send them out Wednesday at 7:30 and it would still sort of serve as a reminder of the DL the following week. No a good one, but still. So, to help with that, I've created a google calendar that you can sync or whatever.

Here's the html link which can be synced to your own google calendar. When we have special guests the calendar will be updated. I've set it with email reminders for 3 hours before and 2 days before. You should be able to set that to whatever you want.

If you use iCal, use this:

And if you want it in an RSS feed: .

If you're an outlook user Google has a nice tool to sync calendars. This app assumes you already have a google calendar. You can also import the iCal file into Outlook. I've never done it, but that's what the intertubes tell me.

I didn't think I was entirely making it up. Maybe I was able to dislodge something from my memory after skimming an earlier email. Anyway, the materials from CREDO for tomorrow's event include a "Pin the Charge on the Bush Administration Official" game. So come celebrate the coming end of the Bush Administration. And, the first pitcher of beer is on me! rsvp link (not required)

Don't forget, Bill Winter has an announcement about our 6th district congressional seat. That's about to be handed over to the bestest secretary of state ever, Mike Coffman (cough-corrupt-cough).

I also understand there might be some fundraising taking place for a Georgia senate runoff, that could affect the balance of power in the US Senate. If one were interested, contributions can be taken online.

That's tomorrow, Wednesday the 12th.

We really won't have George Bush to kick around anymore. For real! And the good folks at CREDOare kicking in to help us celebrate. Swag and perhaps a pin the impeachable offense on the turkey game will also include $100 for beer sorry, they said for anything but beer, so we'll spend it on pizza. Here's an
rsvp link, if you prefer.

And, to the future. Some of may remember CO-06 candidate Bill Winter from the 2006 election? Well, he's got a surprise for us all to announce. And, it's not what you think.

That's this Wednesday the 12th.

Sorry Everyone, but the hipsters at Watercourse gave me some bad information and I acted according to it. I called Watercourse earlier in the week to confirm that I could in fact make a reservation for Sunday morning and the girl told me yes, they take reservations on Sunday mornings. When I called this afternoon to give the final count, they refused to take the reservation.

I didn't think that I needed to triple check on what an employee told me. MY BAD!

There is not much else I can think to do except cancel the meeting and hope to find a decent location in the future. It has been an issue trying to find a restaurant that is affordable, has an accommodating atmosphere, has good service and has good food.

I apologize if you do not get this message in time. If you go and eat there, the food is great despite the staff being too cool for school. I did the best I could.

I don't know what will happen in the future with Eating Liberally, I think its a great idea and I think it could work but scheduling, pricing and other appropriate considerations make for a complex constellation of needs that metro Denver restaurants just can't satisfy for the group at this time.

Numerous apologies.

Happy hunting.

Have a good weekend.
