Hello, Liberal Drinkers! Come join us this evening, after 6pm at the Flying Saucer, for another round of Drinking Liberally!

We're all still a little high from the election, I'd imagine, but many of us have also fully realized the extent to which our little group is a blue island in a vast ocean of red. With our losses in the Tennessee General Assembly, we can expect extremist laws to get passed, laws that discriminate against homosexuals and harm women's health in particular.

Which means it's time to engage locally, kids! Do me a favor and start thinking about how you can act, through letters to the editor, blogging, contacting your own reps, and anything else you can think of. We're going to have our party next week, and that will be a great opportunity to bring your ideas and share them. Be sure to invite a friend who might be paddling alone in that big, scary ocean: safe haven exists!

Finally, I probably can't be at the Saucer this evening so be sure to find other DL'ers, even if there's something screwy with the seating. It's time to stick together!

Hello, Liberal Drinkers! Come join us this evening, after 6pm at the Flying Saucer, for a very CELEBRATORY round of Drinking Liberally!

We had a fantastic night on Tuesday; above and beyond the incredible moment we all witnessed, we had the added pleasure of seeing it happen among good friends. The room was so packed that we made some NEW friends, too, and so we're hosting a post-election party!!

Thursday, Nov. 20th (that's 2 weeks from tonight) we'll have a special DL party to celebrate the election, the End of the Error, and hey...that's exactly 60 days before the Inaugural! It's our chance to really kick off the holiday season in style, too, so come join us!

I'll send more details later on, so mark your calendars and invite a friend!

See you tonight!

Happy Voting Day, Liberal Drinkers! Join us this evening, after 7, for a special Election Night Drinking Liberally!

First, and most importantly, GO VOTE! If you're unsure where you vote, check http://www.nashville.gov/Vote/#. You can also call them with any questions you might have about voting.

Second, any of you who are working at polls today, we'd love to see you after you're done!

Third, party details!
- We're joining forces with the Davidson County Young Dems tonight, and the Saucer is chipping in with free food, Sam Adams specials, and giveaways through the night.

- The Saucer has free wi-fi! So feel free to get your geek on and bring a laptop; I'll be lugging mine, so you're in good company.

- We'll be in the main room of the bar, but all tv's in the joint (with sound!) will be tuned to election coverage.

Tonight we're going to be one party of many across the country, and that's a great feeling, no matter the outcome. So come join us, and be among friends!

See you tonight!

Hi there, Liberal Drinkers! If you haven't yet gotten to it, go VOTE and then join us, after 6pm at the Flying Saucer, for another round of Drinking Liberally!

It's full-on election madness these days, as one side turns up the heat on an angry kettle of fear and anger in response to the rising tide of hope, but I do think our better nature will prevail in the end. It's hard to maintain that feeling alone though, what with ugly accusations flying thick and fast, children being shot, mad plans hatched to kill black schoolkids, and gun sales skyrocketing.

That's why it's so important in this climate to spend some time among like-minded people who share a common dream of creating a better world for the next generation.

So come raise your spirits with us, literally! Make sure you stop by a voting place first, though, if you haven't yet had a chance.

See you tonight!
