Greetings, DLers,

Join us tonight for our regular Thursday get-together: January 8, 6:30 to 9, in the back room at Timberlake's (1726 Connecticut Ave NW, north of Dupont Circle). Socialize, network, rant, and converse about the political scene: Blackwater, Burris/Blagojevich, bailouts, Blair House, or whatever else you feel like talking about.

We're putting together a list of affordable inaugural events and should have that on the site soon.

Merry Christmas, Joyeux Noel, Happy Hanukkah, First-Rate Festivus, and a Nice New Year!

Tonight, December 18 will be our last DL in 2008. Thanks to everyone for a great year, and we'll do our best to hit the ground running in 2009. Thursday, Jan 8 will be our first DL in 2009.

During Innauguration Week: On Jan 22, Mike Lux, prolific OpenLeft.com blogger, and Obama's progressive liaison for the transition, will discuss his new book "The Progressive Revolution: How the Best in America Came to Be." More details soon, but we wanted you to reserve the date now.

We have some other exciting events that are in the works. We're pretty confident that 2009 will be a ground-breaking year for DCDL.

Our friends in several local progressive groups, including DC for Democracy, are organizing celebrations for the weekend before the inauguration. See the information here, and buy your tickets early:

In other news, Keith tells me that we got a box of swag from DL national (thanks, Justin!) We should come up with some sort of contest to give it away. Perhaps some of the creative DL'ers out there have some ideas?

Any gamers out there? I'm looking for fellow progressive gamers to improve my meager skills at Unreal Tournament, Kung Fu Panda, Fallout 3, and other favorite games. Plus, if any of you have an XBox 360, there's a new party feature that I'd like to try out. Virtual Worlds have potential in progressive organizing, so let me know if you'd like to try it out.
