Abbreviated Living Liberally calendar for December

Holiday schedules are going to bump up against the standard meeting schedules for Oregon and SW Washington chapters this month.

So to make sure we know who's meeting when this month, let's just go right to the source. Here are the web pages for the DL chapters in Oregon and SW Washington:

Vancouver WA

Portland Left Side (aka Beaverton OR)

St. Helens OR

Portland OR

Salem OR

And the fledgling Portland West Side Screening Liberally chapter is going to take December off -- we'll see you in January. Remember to drop me any suggestions for films. Meanwhile, what could be more apropos for the season than this?

So wherever you are, join the Living Liberally gang for political conversation, drinks, and great films.

Remember: DL encourages everyone to drink, and vote, responsibly.

And don't forget there's still time to purchase your copy of 538 Ways to Live, Work, and Play Like a Liberal.

Living Liberally calendar for Oregon and SW Washington in November

(Updated with new locations for St. Helens, below!)

Okay, the election's over, so everyone take a couple of days to reacquaint yourselves with your family and pets, then everyone meets back here for 2012. But you know where to go to relax: Drinking Liberally. Am I right?

Yet again, the first of the month snuck up on me. So tonight I send my sheepish apologies again to Ann and everyone at DL/Corvallis, who will just about be winding up tonight's meeting as I finally get this drafted last night. (Consider this the early promotion for the December Corvallis meeting: First Thursday of the month, address and time below!)
