That’s right folks…it’s time once again for Drinking Liberally. Here’s the 4-1-1:

Drinking Liberally, Milwaukee’s happenin’est social-political club, is having a Debate Watch Party!

We’ll be watching the final debate between Barack Obama and John McCain at Sugar Maple, 441 East Lincoln Avenue this Wednesday night, October 15. The debate starts at 8:00, but we’ll be there well beforehand, eatin’ and drinkin’ and carryin’ on and carousing.

A few important notes…

1) Sugar Maple is a smoke-free bar. You can smoke outside, but please respect the neighbors.

2) It’s cash-only. They do have an ATM there.

3) You can bring food in! Chip in, we’ll get a big load of fries (”frites,” as we bitter-élitists call ‘em) from Cafe Centraal next door.

Let’s have a great Drinking Liberally! Three weeks left before the biggest election of our lives… let’s go!

Be there or be square!

Now sure, I only drank water, but I still drank liberally. I had a great time at the Sugar Maple, and I met some great folks, including the king of the hate left, who I daresay has quite the fanclub. I also got to meet a truly great gal and a mercenary sociologist, and I also ran into a ‘bum. I also met a couple of aspiring photographers, and I had a really great time with a BM. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to stay long enough to spend some time chatting with the illustrious illusory tenant, but I was pleased to meet him nonetheless.

I think a great time was had by all, and it’s definitely nice to finally be able to put faces with the names I’ve come to know and respect.

…Drinking Liberally in Milwaukee? I know we had a chapter for a while, but I haven’t heard anything about it in a good long time.
