Drinking Liberally 12/14

It’s time once again for liberals to wander down to the old watering hole. You can see these wonders of nature this Thursday at the Shanty on 4th Avenue starting at 6pm. This once wary and skittish species have begun to throw off their camouflage and socialize openly with their own kind once again. They have even been spotted mixing unabashedly with elephants and (what would the mascot for independents be — house cats?) other critters.

UPDATE: I’m an idiot. I screwed up the scheduling. May will be with us NEXT week, the 21st.

This Next week our special guest is May George. May is a Fulbright scholar from Baghdad, Iraq. She has been here since 2004, though her family still reside in Iraq. She’ll be sharing her personal experiences of the war in Iraq, as well as those of her friends and family. May speaks Arabic, Aramaic, and English and is a Chaldean Catholic, not a Muslim. We can learn a lot from May, and hope you’ll come down and give her a warm reception.

Next week, we do not yet have any special guest scheduled, but I can tell you that we are having a mulled wine tasting in celebration of the season. Ho Ho Ho. If you would like to kick in a bottle of red for the tasting, please contact me at TUCSON at DRINKINGLIBERALLY dot ORG.

Looking out to January, we have scheduled Pima County Board of Supervisors Chairman Richard Elias to come down and speak with us on January 11th.
