[FRIAM] FW: Drinking Liberally

[Steven A Smith]

My (former) sister-in-law was a DNC organizer extra-ordinaire and when I 
was in Berkeley (05, 06) she came out to do a dozen things including 
showing up for a local Drinking Liberally meetup.

They happened to pick my favorite "biker bar" in SFo... "Zeitgeist" 
which catered equally to gnarly Harley riders and even gnarlier bike 
messengers.   I'd been there many times so I asked her why they picked 
it, and she said it was he "hippest place" for her demographic.

Her demographic turned out to be mostly second-wave yuppies. They looked 
*totally * out of place in their Izod shirts and slacks and loafers, but 
there were enough of them to make their own bubble and the staff worked 
hard to make them comfortable.

I'd love to see a "Gnarly Bikers against Trump" rally.

A chance to discuss your feelings about our Contemporary Nero: He who tweets while Rome Burns.   Or was that Caligula?  I can never keep them straight.
