Join Us for Friday's Debate Party!

Wondering where Obama and McCain candidates stand on foreign policy and national security? Enjoy free beer?

This Friday marks the first of a handful of major-party Presidential and Vice-Presidential debates, and we invite you to join us as Drinking Liberally kicks things off in high style with a full-throttle viewing extravaganza!

We'll have beer available (free!), grilled corn on the cob (free!), and a grill for grilling (bring your own burgers, dogs, or meat-shaped veggie treats). Prefer wine or highfalutin microbrew beer for your debate watching? No problem! Feel free to bring your own.

Whether you're mostly eager to bask in the thrilling glow of your candidate's superior command of the issues or prefer instead to jump on the opposing candidate for his nutball audacity and propensity to stretch the truth, whether you're a viewer who loves pointing out the candidates' annoying verbal tics and all-telling nonverbal cues or simply someone who enjoys an all-but-innocuous, thoroughly crippling gaff or two--or even if you're just curious about moderator Jim Lehrer's mysterious, doll-like eyes--be sure to swing by Charlotte Energy Solutions this Friday night for the debate party to end all debate parties!

What better way to begin your weekend than with free beer and smart, informed discussion? Plus, no one knows how these debates are going to go. After all, it all comes down to who looks better in TV. It's shameful but true. We refuse to be swayed, of course.

Charlotte Energy Solutions is at 337 Baldwin Avenue, just off Third Street and a stone's throw from the Obama headquarters. Here's a map. Still can't find it? Send us an email and we'll get back to you with better directions.
