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

We will “assemble” at O’Shucks at 7:00 pm. At 7:30 pm the Pub Crawl begins. We head north for Temple Square ( It would not be a Pub Crawl without a visit to the hallowed site of Temple Square!)

1.) O’Shucks

2.) Temple Square

3.) The Beerhive Pub ( 128 South Main)

4.) Murphy’s ( 140 South Main)

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
