Why Should Just The Big City Folks Have All The Fun?

There's a few of us crazy-ass Democrats in this town.  Some may be more liberal than others, but the fact is, we all just want to hang, every now and then, with folks who understand that we aren't all traitors, commies, troop haters or ANGRY ANGRY people.  We're just Bozeman folks, like any other folks.  What's wrong with getting together and having a beer?

To this end, I propose a local Drinking Liberally chapter.  I'm buyin' the first round, and if there's interest, I'll even buy the second.  I think getting together every two weeks would be cool, and I'm more than happy for suggestions of venue or date/time.  My initial idea is the Hippo (originally read "Rhino" due to too many years in Missoula)  on Thursdays.    Or not, baring better ideas.  Please comment here if you'd like to do this, or email me.  So what do you say?  Andy?  Billy?  Sheena?  Jeff?  Mark?

(p.s.  The candidate discussions are heating up at both Left in the West and at Progress Montana.  I've no idea how to bring these discussions together.  Suggestions would be appreciated.)

UPDATE:  Posted at Progress Montana as a calendar item, as per Matt's sugestion.  Come on, folks, let's chat.

Cheers.

Post it on the calendar at ProgressMontana

Perhaps other cities will follow suit.

I'd be interested, but I won't be back in Bozeman until Sunday. I'll probably be working on Thursday evenings, too. I'll know more next week.

That's the best idea I've heard of in a long time. I have wanted to start one myself but haven't found the time. I think thursdays would be great, as long as the fun lasts til 9:00, when I get out of class.

Also, I'd stay clear of the Hippo, a little to Republican for my taste, and for that matter so is Mixers. The Robyn is always fun and in a central location, as is the R Bar

I would certainly come if I were in Bozeman on a Thursday.

Let's see... Drinking... GOOOD... Liberals... GOOOOD... Drinking and liberals together, just sounds like fun*grins* I have two friends leaving at the beginning of next month, and two more leaving the month after that, so I'm definitely free... I'm not too sure about Thursdays, Hangover and getting up for college doesn't sound like that much fun... But whatever day is fine. And I think the Robyn bar would be good, not super expensive, good atmosphere... Very close for me to walk...

Can I call in my drink order? You can set me up a little barstool with a shot and a beer, put a hat down, make it look like someone is sitting there. Then I can call in on someone's cell phone present and start off the first round of a drunken drinking song.

It'll be a "snoot hoot."
(re: "having a snoot-full" = really drunk
and: "hoot", short for "hootenanny" get it? I just made that up. I'm not awake yet.)

Sounds like a great idea to me. Doesn't matter what night or place.
