The much needed get-together for OC lefties will launch tomorrow: Drinking Liberally Orange County.
We’ll be at Memphis in Santa Ana from 8:30 p.m. onward.
Everyone is welcome to come out. Even if you are a non-drinking or a non-liberal, you will be welcomed. Just meet up for some good conversation.
Martin Wisckol mentioned in the Orange County Register’s Total Buzz today that we’ve gotten a little criticism from other lefties regarding the event. Here’s what he wrote:
Political correctness can get pretty amusing. I ran into one of the hosts of Drinking Liberally, a weekly Democratic drinking gathering that launches locally tomorrow. He said that there were complaints from fellow Democrats about what they were doing — that it encouraged drinking, and they should have the event someplace besides a bar. Brother. Those are exactly the folks who suck all the fun out of politics.
Yes, we got a little bit of crap from folks that thought that we shouldn’t encourage drinking, but the majority of the response has been very warm.
Remember that Memphis is also a restaurant and charges no cover and has no age limit. Please bring friends!

It may suck some of the fun out but a bar doesn’t sound like my ideal place for a “meeting of the minds,” so to speak.
A good time is another story. (not that I even drink mind you!)
I still plan on making it out there though. 🙂
yeah, i think it’s a little rediculous that people are bothered by other people meeting to drink.
listen up people! folks meeting to drink does not prevent your from having your own meetings or doing whatever you want. why in the heck do you care if people want to go do this?
do not be a killjoy.
dang. typo.. and just when i wanted to get a point across.
how ridiculous am i?
🙂
Hey, I was there, and I don’t even drink!
