This Week we are working on a couple last minute guests. So, come on by and you may be pleasantly surprised... or at least have a drink with good friends.

Same Bat Time, Same Bat Channel...
6:00pm @ The Shanty

IN ADDITION:
We have new Drinking Liberally FLYERS! Please email tucson@drinkingliberally.ortg if you would like a copy to pass around.

EVERY WEEK:
We are now collecting donations every week for the community food and diaper banks. So bring those non-perishable food items, and those ultimate depositories for said food. We will also accept cash donations to these fine charities.

Future guests, special events, and future book selections for Reading Liberally can be found by visiting Drinking Liberally Tucson's web site and calendar at:

PEDANTIC REMINDERS:
We don't have a lot of rules at Drinking Liberally (for policy wonks, that is...), but please consider the following Eight Etiquette Suggestions:

I. Bringing some finger foods to share wouldn't kill ya, would it? Seriously, it's not wise to drink on an empty stomach! And don't forget the those in need who aren't with us, and bring your non-perishable food items.

II. Bring your friends and/or family. What, are you embarrassed of us? Your recommendation is the best way to help our community grow.

III. Bring your two ears as well as your one tongue, and use them proportionately.

IV. Introduce yourself, and tell others your news and interests. Don't be shy, we like you, we really like you. Feel free to propose a toast when the mood strikes you, too.

V. Tip the wait staff liberally, or they might spit in your beer. (Well, not really - but it's still the right thing to do)

VI. If you wish to smoke, step away from the other tables and make a temporary smoking table. The other jonesing nic-fiends in the group will quickly follow you, no doubt...

VII. Forward this email to your friends and family who you think might want to participate in Drinking Liberally. They can join our mailing list at http://livingliberally.org/drinking/

VIII. DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE! Know your limits and make liberal use of designated drivers. We want to see you back again next week!

Cheers!
Michael, Tasha, Shasta & Mariana
Your Drinking Liberally Hosts

We will be meeting to discuss The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein.

The meeting will be held on Monday November 10th at 7:30pm. If you want to come early (6pm) to grab a bite to eat and catch up with everyone, please feel free.

We will be meeting at Tasha Nelson's complex. Address is

5051 N Sabino Canyon Rd
Go north on Sabino Canyon from Tanque Verde. When the road forks and becomes Sabino or Kolb, stay to the right (Sabino). Go through the light at Sabino and Snyder. About 0.5miles up on the left (west) side of the road is Ventana Vista Condos. To get through the gate, hit #-1-2-0-7. If you forget the code, scroll through until you find the name T Nelson and have it dial. I can let you in. Come straight through the gate (don't take the immediate left) but take the next left and come around to the clubhouse front door (it will be on your right). We will be meeting in the clubhouse.

See you then!!
If you get lost, call 971-0522

Next month's selection is
Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA by Tim Weiner

To celebrate an Obama victory and (fingers crossed) a blue Arizona, we are gathering at Gentle Ben's, upstairs, 6 pm. Gentle Ben's is on University between Euclid and Park.

We will be playing an election game:
Guess the margin of victory

Using Gallup's likely voter predictions for every state (as of Monday 11/3), guess how close or far away Obama will be for every state. Ties will be broken with a guess on total electoral votes. Prize is yet to be determined.

Hope to see you there!!

Sorry for such a late update. Due to conflicting schedules, we postponed the forum on education for after the elections.
So, after long hours of campaigning, canvassing or making phone calls, join your liberal friends, relax, have a cold beer (or not). We'll be there at 6 pm, feel free to come anytime.
Don't forget to bring nonperishable items or $1 to donate to the Food Bank. Drink responsible and tip your waiter.

The usual suspects: Mike, Tasha, Shasta and Mariana
