Last week’s Friday Night Multimedia Extravaganza can be found here.

What are you up to this evening? The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally will meet tonight for conversations over a drink. You are welcome to stop by.

The Seattle chapter of DL meets every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern (2409 10th Ave E, Seattle) starting at 8pm. We will be on the patio in the back. The kitchen is still closed, but feel free to bring your own dinner. Note that a COVID vaccination card and ID are required to enter the Roanoke.

Chapters of Drinking Liberally are re-opening all over the place. If you can’t make the Seattle chapter, find a chapter near you.
