March 13 Drinking Liberally Meeting

Good morning my fellow drinkers,
Next week Pittsburgh Drinking Liberally will start experimenting with our rotating bar plan so that more people can come. Last week was great as I met several new people, half a dozen job search leads were passed around and a fine discussion on the great little hole in the walls throughout SW PA took place. I am looking forward to more next Tuesday night at Finnegan's Wake on the Northside.

We'll be meeting from 7:00 to at least 9:30 or so, although those who want to use up your spousal karma points can stay as late as you want at this fine Irish bar. We'll at the tables near the wall that splits the space into two seperate bar areas. Finnegan's Wake is on General Robinson Street between the 6th and 7th Street Bridges, and 100 feet from the left field entrance of PNC Park. Directions are at this link: http://www.finniganspittsburgh.com/directions.htm

We'l have a couple of sessions during March Madness, so I have set up a Yahoo Tournament Bracket challenge for Pittsburgh Drinking Liberally. The winner will receive their first two beers courtesy of me on April 10th. If there is a tie between two individuals, each will receive 2 beers from me, and if there is a tie of three or more individuals, I have to reduce the prize to my everlasting awe and a single beer. To participate you need a Yahoo ID.

Then go to http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/ and click on the "Join a Group button", sign into Yahoo with your ID, and then enter the following information.

Finally, I am interested in setting up a "Theatre Liberally" event for us to see The Missionary Position by Keith Reddin at the City Theatre on the Southside. I saw a reading of this play and it is a biting, grab my sides as they hurt because I am laughing too hard look at a national political campaign. I want to see this show badly and I think quite a few of you will like it. Right now, if I can get 10 firm committments I can get group tickets for $25/person. There is a chance I can get a better deal than this but I have not been able to confirm that yet. I would like to do this on Tuesday May 8, 2007 as our normal event. If you are interested, please e-mail me with your interest. Right now I do not need the money, so hold off on that.

Dave
