The Orange County (California) Chapter of
Drinking Liberally had its first Drinking Liberally event this past Thursday at the Memphis Bar in Loretta Sanchez's backyard, downtown Santa Ana (blue territory in a red county.)
It was a Democratic shmooze fest, with several campaigns, candidates and office holders represented, and the first ever meeting of many infamous bloggers of OC, which includes yours truly.
My favorite Orange County candidate
Paul Lucas, running as a candidate for California's 68th Assembly District (shoot him some green), was there, and you have to read this amazing story about him in the
OC Weekly.
Also there were representatives of the Jim Brandt for Congress: Campaign Manager Malahat Rafiei, and Communications Manager Sarah Pirch.
The liberal OC bloggers on hand were Mike Lawson of the Liberal OC,
Art Pedroza and Claudio of Orange Juice, Mike Randall of Mike's Daily Lockup, Omar of OC in the OC and yours truly of Greetings From Downtown Huntington Beach.
Organized by Mike Lawson, Drinking Liberally Orange County will be a weekly occurrence every Thursday night at the Memphis Bar, 8:30 PM.
