Driberally tonight

Drinking Liberally is a weekly social gathering where progressives talk politics and get to know one another. In Center City Philadelphia, we meet on Tuesday nights at Triumph Brewery's upstairs bar, where there are drink and food specials from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. I hope to see you there!

Triumph Brewery is at 117 Chestnut Street in Old City. It's conveniently SEPTA-accessible via the Market-Frankford El (2nd Street station), all the buses that turn around at or near Penn's Landing (5, 12, 17, 21, 33, 42, 48), and a few other buses that pass nearby (9, 25, 38, 40, 44, 47, 57, 61).

This week's topic: Global warming has killed 2/3 of my tomatoes this year. Seriously: I've managed to grow 3 tomatoes on my sunless patio, and 2 of them have gotten black mold because the summer has been so wet, which has been the predicted result of global climate change for the mid-Atlantic. Rats. Though maybe the rats are enjoying the 2 rotten tomatoes I've lobbed into the alleyway.
