I am proud to announce it, but I need your help in coming up for a name for it.
This is a CA blogger production. Myself, sfbriancl (Brian Leubitz), withthelidoff (Lucas O'Connor) have been putting together a fabulous event to be held next week in San Diego, in conjunction with the CA Democratic Party Convention. There will be thousands of delegates, kossacks, bloggers, politicians, consultants and reporters. We figured we could convince a good crowd of them to show up at a local brew pubs and toss back a few pints with Jerry McNerney, Charlie Brown and the bloggers. I emailed staffers from each and they jumped at the chance. Thus a blograiser was born, with a lot of help from our man on the SD ground, Lucas, in securing a location.
Who: Charlie Brown, Jerry McNerney and friends
What: give $40 (split between the two) via ActBlue
When: 8:30 PM Friday April 27th
Where: Karl Strauss Brewing Company, Downtown San Diego
1157 Columbia Street - San Diego, CA 92101
Why: Cause good beer tastes better with politics
Doesn't it look cool? BTW it is less than a mile from the convention center. You can walk it, or there is parking.
There will be some lovely appetizers provided by your blogging hosts.
All contributions will be processed on a special ActBlue page, but we can't exactly have an ActBlue page, unless we have a fricken name. That's where you come in... Propose a name. We will cut down to the top choices (as many as fit in a poll) and let you vote tomorrow.
P.S. For those not in attendance we have been talking with the wonderful Howie Klein about doing a fundraiser on the Blue America page in conjunction with the blograiser. Last I heard he had procured a really valuable prize to give away to one lucky donor. More to come on that later. For now we need names.
With Doolittle getting raided today and several Republicans gearing up to challenge Jerry these guys need our support.
