Hey there, it's Steve, your Drinking, Laughing, and just about everything else Liberally cohost. I wanted to send you a quick e-mail about a contest we're holding. The Chicago DL chapter has had a twitter feed for some time now and we'd like to get the word out there about it. So, to help with that we are starting up a twitter contest. Here's what you need to do to enter and win:

1) Follow @dl_chicago on twitter
2) Tweet the following exactly as shown:

Follow @dl_chicago for a chance to win a Sarah Palin voodoo doll. Details here: http://is.gd/dKsPh

That's it. The contest will end on August 14th and the winner will be announced shortly there after. You need only send the tweet out once and sending it out more often will not increase your odds of victory.

If you have any questions, let us know!

Hey everyone,
Well, Steve and I have returned from an awesome Netroots Nation convention in Las Vegas, and we managed to bring back with us Justin Krebs, the co-founder of Drinking Liberally & Living Liberally!

He'll be at DL this Tuesday, to hang, drink, and talk about his new book 538 Ways To Live Work & Play Like A Liberal.

The book is about the little ideas for embracing your progressive values everyday life, as well as the big ideas of what it means to be a "liberal" in America today.

The book was also attacked in a cover story in Bill Kristol's the Weekly Standard! When the enemy notices you, you must be doing something right!

See you in the back room at Sheffield's, 3258 N Sheffield Ave, tomorrow at 7pm!

Plus we'll be giving away some goodies we snagged at Netroots Nation.

PS- Mark your calendars for next Wednesday, August 4th. That's the next Laughing Liberally Chicago, this month with special guest, environmentalist and author Jeff Biggers!

Hey everyone,
As you can see in the subject, tomorrow's Drinking Liberally WILL NOT be at Sheffield's. Tomorrow we're doing a Screening Liberally screening of the Academy Award winning documentary The Cove at the No Exit Cafe. No Exit does serve beer and food, so we will be Drinking, as well as, Screening Liberally.

The Cove
No Exit Cafe
6970 N Glenwood Ave

Doors open at 7pm, the movie will start at 8pm.
The screening is free.

Academy Award® Winner for Best Documentary of 2009, THE COVE follows an elite team of activists, filmmakers and freedivers as they embark on a covert mission to penetrate a remote and hidden cove in Taiji, Japan, shining a light on a dark and deadly secret. Utilizing state-of-the-art techniques, including hidden microphones and cameras in fake rocks, the team uncovers how this small seaside village serves as a horrifying microcosm of massive ecological crimes happening worldwide. The result is a provocative mix of investigative journalism, eco-adventure and arresting imagery, adding up to an unforgettable story that has inspired audiences worldwide to action.

Also, if any of our members are interested in starting a regular Screening Liberally series let me know. The folks at No Exit (our Laughing Liberally venue) are starting a regular movie night.

Hope to see you tomorrow for great food, film, & conversation!
