Drinking Liberally in the Tri-Cities

It’s Tuesday and time again for Drinking Liberally in the Tri-Cities.  Last week I had a chance to stop by the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally and coaxed a few photo’s out of the crowd.

This is Dave Neiwert, writer and blogger from Orcinus.  Always something to be learned from Dave.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some of you around here might remember Anna and Gus.  Anna was Richard Wright’s campaign manager.  I spent most my time chatting with these guys since they understand just how tough it is out here on the “Dry Side” of the state.  Anna has been writing for the online publication sightline.org.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This fellow here is Joel Connelly from the Seattle PI.  I met Joel some 20 plus years ago as he was friends of my grandparents.  Sometime after my Grandmother died, my Grandfather would always talk about Joel which led me to read his columns.  I’ve learned much but what really amazes me is the depth of knowledge Joel posesses when it comes to Washington State political history.  A walking-talking encyclopedia.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of course David Goldstein (Goldy) of Horsesass.org and Natasha from Pacific Views.  David keeps me laughing and Natasha keeps me thinking.

And by the way, Goldy deserves a big thanks for following the Melamine story.  It is going beyond pet food now and Goldy smelled a rat long before anyone else.  I highly recommend following his posts on this story. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Neil from Peacetreefarm.  Neil supported my blogging activities early on with McCranium.org.  Thanks Neil!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am terrible with names and I forgot this guys name.  But he was happy to hear a report from a Tri-Citian that we are not pumping the contents of Hanford tanks into the Columbia River.  I know he is a blogger over at Blue Oregon.  Dude – drop me a note!  I’ll send you back some tank sludge!

Anyway, it’s good to be home and looking forward to Drinking Liberally in the Tri-Cities, tonight, and every Tuesday night at O’Callahans at the Shilo Inn.  50 Comstock Rd. in Richland.  7pm until whenever.  Come join us!

I should add that lurking in the dark behind Connelly is Darryl of HominidViews and HorsesAss. Also in the dark in that same photo to the left of Joel’s head is Will of HorsesAss.

Thanks for visiting the west side of the state, and sparing us any pics of myself!

Darryl was kinda lurking wasn’t he. And dangggitt, I was meaning to get a good pic of Will and you as well. Well… until next time! I had a great time.

With an “a”. Don’t worry about it, though. I’m used to it. Come by more often and you’ll learn all the right spellings. :-)

I’m at Gus’s elbow in the Anna/Gus shot, with Neiwert lifting a brew in the background.
