Tonight will be another Debate Edition of Seattle’s Drinking Liberally. Please join us for an evening of political debate and conversation over a pint.
There are two debates tonight. At 6:00 pm, President Barack Obama (D) squares off against Gov. Mitt Romney (R) in a townhall format. That will be followed at 8:00 pm by a gubernatorial debate between former WA-1 Congressman Jay Inslee (D) and Washington AG Rob McKenna (R).
Note: We will have sound and audio for the presidential debate. But for the gubernatorial debate, we may have the picture, but probably no sound. Also…the bar has other customers, so the sound may not be as loud as you want, especially with the background of a busy bar and peripheral conversations. If you are serious about listening to the debate, I recommend you bring an FM radio and headsets or earbuds. Additionally, the Montlake Alehouse has free WiFi. Ask your server for the password.
We will meet at our usual place, the Montlake Ale House, 2307 24th Avenue E.
The Montlake Ale House opens at 5:00 pm, and the presidential debate begins at 6:00 pm. Drinking liberally normally begins at 8:00 pm, but don’t hesitate to stop by earlier for the presidential debate.
There’s be some live blogging action right here.
Can’t make it to Seattle tonight? Check out one of the other DL meetings over the next week. Tonight the Tri-Cities chapter meets. The Longview and South Seattle chapters meet on Wednesday. The Spokane chapter and Drinking Liberally Tacoma meet this Thursday.
With 233 chapters of Living Liberally, including fourteen in Washington state four in Oregon and three more in Idaho, chances are excellent there’s a chapter that meets near you.

Hi,
Q from a newbie type person who moved back to WA recently. Should I want to attend a Tues night gathering how would I know who you are? Is there a sign or something? Is there some sort of introductory session for new people? I haven’t seen this addressed on your mighty blog-item but possibly it has been and I’m just an idiot. Basically, what should a newcomer do to figure this shit out? Also, I swear a fucking lot but I assume that’s ok.
Honestly I have considering coming to the bar many times over the past year but all you ever show is the same old announcement and, to be honest, it’s not very welcoming to new people who aren’t sure how this all works.
Thanks.
pjf@3,
Just show the fuck up. (We sometimes swear, too.)
Drinking Liberally—Seattle has been meeting in the same bar every Tuesday night since early 2005. If it isn’t obvious where we are when you arrive, ask—the barkeep knows most of our names (and, for that matter, credit card numbers).
Uh oh…looks like yet another Moral Man Republican is running afoul of the laws of Religion….

nice try gleeman, but fail.
Conservative Clown making an issue out of nothing. One day after the attack, President Obama calls it Terrorism. One day after the event Rachel Maddow calls it Terrorism. Where was Faux News, where was their highly investigative reporting. Bunch of losers.

@5,
Yes Gman, you should know better. Adultery is good and moral. Ask Newt the Grinch. Why, I’ve even been discussing enlarging the family with my wife. I really dig that Man Coulter babe. Now she’d make a mighty fine second first lady.
