There’s really no doubt that the Bush years set us on a course of widened political divisions in the country. We can only hope that Obama can mend the country while convincing conservatives that progressive plans are better in the long term. One of the ways Obama can do that is to invite his adversaries over to his new digs and drink liberally with them. So far, it looks like he’s doing a pretty good job.

Since Drinking Liberally came up with the Official Unofficial Drink of the Obama Administration, we have to wonder if he’s serving up Obama’s Hope Float to his guests.

In the spirit of Obama’s spirits, we’re hosting a drinks party of our own. Next Friday, February 6th, we’ll be mixing inauguration-themed drinks at Jeremiah and Heather’s house. Bring what you need to make & share your inauguration-themed – and cleverly named – drink. We’ll be making it a contest (with prizes) and voting on our favorite. If you don’t want to participate in the competition, just bring something to keep yourself from getting thirsty. We’ll provide the ice, lemons, limes, etc. as well as some finger foods to munch on. 214 W. 600 N. We’ll be starting at 7, but stop by at any time. Map
