February liberals,

Just a quick reminder that there is no Drinking Liberally meetup tonight, but next week, Feb. 12th, we’ll be back at the Piper Down from 6:30-9:30.

Then on February 26th, Laura has lined up Representatives Jen Seelig, David Litvack, and Mark Wheatley, as well as Senator Ben McAdams! They’ll be coming out to share some thoughts and answer your questions about this year’s legislative session.

Hope to see you next week!
Heather, Laura, Jeremiah

Fully addressed liberals,

Even though there’s plenty to talk about after the State of the Union address last night, it’s the 5th Friday of the month so that means we won’t be having another meetup for a couple weeks, until Feb 12th.

On February 26th, Laura has lined up Representatives Jen Seelig, David Litvack, and Mark Wheatley, as well as Senator Ben McAdams! They’ll be coming out to share some thoughts and answer your questions about this year’s legislative session.

Did you miss the City Weekly/Drinking Liberally citizen lobbyist training a couple weeks ago? Well you can attend a citizen lobbying training that HEAL Utah is putting on tonight (Thursday, Jan 28th) from 6:30-8:30 in the Copper Room of the east building at the Capitol building. DL has attended their citizen lobby training before, and they always do it well. In addition to HEAL, the Utah Rivers Council and Fair Boundaries will be there. And so will Rep. Rebecca Chavez-Houck. So most of the same people who were at the City Weekly training. It’s a good way to learn how to get more involved. More info here.

If we don’t see you at some liberal event around town, we’ll see you at Drinking Liberally on the 12th!
Laura, Heather, Jeremiah

Liberal legislative lobbyists,

Last week’s Citizen Lobbying Drinking Session put on by City Weekly filled the back room of the Piper Down and was as informative as it was fun. Thanks to the guest speakers, Rep. Rebecca Chavez-Houck, Eric Spreng of HEAL Utah, and Curtis Haring of Fair Boundaries. And thanks of course to City Weekly for organizing it and inviting us to participate. You can find some pictures on our DL flickr page here. Park City TV was also there to cover it, so keep an eye out for it there.

Friday, February 19, we are planning a trip up north to drink liberally with our sister chapter in Ogden. Sara and Jon have always been such gracious hosts and we were excited to see them at our special meet-up with City Weekly last week. FrontRunner has worked well in the past, those interested in driving can contact us for help arranging carpools. More details will be emailed out as the date approaches.

This Friday, January 22nd, we’ll be having our regular Drinking Liberally meet-up, once again in the back room of the Piper Down from 6:30-9:30. There’s plenty to talk about: the situation in Haiti, the election in Massachusetts, the Utah House Majority Leader being caught while driving drunk. So join us, won’t you?

See you tomorrow night!
Heather, Laura, Jeremiah

Lobbying liberals,

It’s the third Friday of the month so we wouldn’t normally meet, but this Friday (the 15th) we’re having a special event in conjunction with City Weekly’s “Citizen Lobbying Drinking Session“. City Weekly will have speakers who will provide tips on tracking down your legislators and communicating your most important issues to them, among other things.

This will also be at the Piper Down, but from 7-10pm. If you’re on Facebook, the event is here. The guest speakers include one of the state’s most dedicated representatives, Rebecca Chavez-Houck, as well as Eric Spreng of HEAL Utah, an organization that puts on an excellent (though booze-less) citizen lobbying training each year.

Next Friday we’ll be back at the Piper Down for a regular meet-up.

We hope you’ll join us, this is sure to be a fun way to learn how to get involved in the process.
Heather, Laura, Jeremiah

After a fairly long winter hiatus, Drinking Liberally will be meeting this Friday, January 8th from 6:30-9:30 at our usual spot in the back room of the Piper Down. If you’ve never been out to one of our meet-ups, make it a resolution to join us!

Though it’s not a regular meet-up night, next Friday, January 15th we’ll be participating in City Weekly’s “Citizen Lobbying Drinking Session“. City Weekly will have speakers who will provide tips on tracking down your legislators and communicating your most important issues to them, among other things.

Holiday liberals,

While there won’t be a Drinking Liberally meet-up this Friday, there will be a special meet-up tonight (Thursday the 17th). Join us as we band together in gentile solidarity to see the Temple Square Christmas Lights (thanks for the idea, Sister Dottie!).

We’ll be meeting at the Beerhive (128 S. Main Street) at 6:30 and walking the block and a half to Temple Square promptly at 7:00. After the lights we’ll head back to the Beerhive to warm up and have another drink or two.

If you don’t care to see the lights you can always hang out at the Beerhive and wait for the group to return. Feel free to text Heather if you come late and can’t find the group (801-231-4046).

This is your last chance to hang out with your Drinking Liberally friends before the new year, so we hope you can join us!
Heather, Laura, Jeremiah

Frozen liberals,

With the bitter cold now upon us and holiday stresses approaching, now’s a good time to take a break and enjoy a drink or two with your liberal friends in the warm back room of the Piper Down. Join us this Friday (the 11th) from 6:30-9:30 for the only regular Drinking Liberally of the month.

We’ll have an irregular meet up on Thursday the 17th though, as we band together in gentile solidarity to see the Temple Square Christmas Lights (which now feature some energy-conserving LED bulbs, by the way). We’ll be meeting at the Beerhive (128 S. Main Street) at 6:30 and walking the block and a half to Temple Square promptly at 7:00. After the lights we’ll head back to the Beerhive to warm up and have another drink or two.

We don’t have anything to do with them, but there are a couple of Santa pub crawls in Salt Lake coming up this month, one on the 12, and one on the 18th. We’ve got the information on our website here: http://drinkingliberallyslc.org/2009/12/02/santa-pub-crawl-2009/

Earlier in the week you received an e-mail from the Drinking Liberally national team about the need to raise funds in order to keep Drinking Liberally viable. We wouldn’t have been doing this for over 4 years in Salt Lake if we didn’t believe that Drinking Liberally didn’t have value. In a state so saturated with conservatives, we try to create connections between fellow liberals in town. And the national Drinking Liberally organization is trying to do this on a larger scale.

So if you also see value in Drinking Liberally, both on a local and a national level, please consider donating: http://livingliberally.org/donate

See you tomorrow,
Heather, Laura, Jeremiah

Stuffed like a turkey liberals,

We hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. With another big holiday coming up in December and our 2nd & 4th Friday schedule, we only have one regular Drinking Liberally meetup this month, on the 11th. So no meetup tonight.

Sister Dottie gave us a good suggestion though: A Drinking Liberally outing to see the Temple Square Christmas lights. She said it was the only way she could handle it, and we agree. So Thursday, December 17th, we’ll be going to see the lights and then going to the Beerhive to warm up. Watch for more details in next week’s email.

We don’t have anything to do with them, but there are a couple of Santa pub crawls in Salt Lake coming up this month. We’ve got the information on our website here: http://drinkingliberallyslc.org/2009/12/02/santa-pub-crawl-2009/

Have a good weekend, and we’ll see you next Friday,
Laura, Heather, Jeremiah
