Drinking Liberally With Anthony Gemma

9AM ON 07/07/2010
BY Beth Comery

wild colonial tavern Host (and candidate for Representative of RI House District Two) Chris Blazejewski invites everyone to another episode of Drinking Liberally.

On Wednesday, July 7 Drinking Liberally will host the fourth part of its ‘Countdown to Election Day 2010′ series for the First Congressional District with special guest host Anthony Gemma.

Yes folks, despite the fact that we have a dog in this race, we support Mr. Blazejewski in his efforts to generate a more vibrant political scene (and holding these events in a location that doesn’t make it seem like a chore). We all benefit from a well-informed and engaged electorate, and you can have a beer and meet interesting people. So learn about all the candidates. . . make up your own mind. . . and then vote for Dave.

Tonight’s hosts will be Chris Blazejewski, Meghan Grady, Matt Jerzyk, Ami Gada, Jenna Lafayette, and Johnathan Berard. More info at FB.

Free, 8pm, Wednesday, Wild Colonial Tavern, 250 South Water Street, air conditioning

Drinking Liberally Wednesday — Meet Cicilline

9AM ON 27/04/2010
BY Daily Dose

DL with Cicilline To say that this is an interesting election year in Rhode Island is an understatement. If you’ve tried to update out-of-state friends recently you know how hard it is to recap the shake-up. Drinking Liberally is helping you meet the candidates in an environment particularly conducive to lively discourse (or making a complete ass of yourself, your choice).

On Wednesday, starting at 9pm at the Wild Colonial Tavern, Drinking Liberally will host the second part of its ‘Countdown to Election Day 2010′ series for the FIRST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT with special guest host Providence Mayor DAVID CICILLINE.

Drinking Liberally is a national progressive social group that gives like-minded, left-leaning individuals a place to gather, exchange ideas, and get involved. The hosts of Drinking Liberally are Chris Blazejewski, Meghan Grady, Matt Jerzyk, Ami Gada, Jenna Lafayette, and Johnathan Berard.

Reminder: Chafee At Wild Colonial

10AM ON 28/10/2009
BY Beth Comery

DL with Chafee Chris Blazejewski, the guy who is single-handedly redeeming the tarnished reputation of Harvard (see: Bush, George W., MBA), invites everyone to meet gubernatorial candidate, and your host for the evening, Lincoln Chafee.  And it’s at the Wild Colonial where you might enjoy going anyway. . . lotsa of beer on tap, view of the river, darts. No wait — politics, beer and darts? Hide the darts. This is the first of the three-part countdown to Election 2010 brought to you by Drinking Liberally, with Caprio and Lynch to follow. But speaking strictly for myself, this is my guy.

8pm to 10pm, Wednesday, Wild Colonial Tavern, 250 South Water Street, wheelchair accessible, plenty of parking

In The Tradition Of The Founding Fathers

8PM ON 21/07/2009
BY Daily Dose

Drinking Liberally It’s time for ‘Drinking Liberally’ again. For a discussion of the public option, take the publick house option (Blaz likes this little joke, he will probably keep saying it) and join hosts Chris Blazejewski, Kim Ahern, Meg Grady, Ami Gada, Matt Jerzyk and Julian Dash at the Wild Colonial on Wednesday night. As always, the opinions are free but the drinks will cost ya, and everyone is welcome. In the words of Benjamin Franklin,

“There can’t be good living where there is not good drinking” (see: Utah, Saudi Arabia)

8pm, Wednesday, Wild Colonial Tavern, 250 South Water Street

Cicilline Special guest star David Cicilline makes an appearance tonight at ‘Drinking Liberally’.  Join the usual suspects (Blaz? Jerzyk? Kimber?) in trying to get the notoriously abstemious mayor at least a little tipsy.

8pm to 10pm, the Wild Colonial Tavern, 250 South Water Street

Celebrate The End Of An Era

9PM ON 17/12/2008
BY Dave Segal

Matthew and RIFuture have been the backbone of the RI blogosphere for the last three-plus years, and have provided consistent insightful commentary on RI political happenings. It’s hard to imagine that the Daily Dose and N4N and such would exist without his work. Come celebrate and appreciate, as Matt leaves to focus on his new lawyerly endeavors:
