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, this week at the downstairs 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: My daughter's been bugging me to let her have a Facebook account. The Internet is, of course, the first place I always look to for parenting advice, and I found a rule that one mom created for the situation: As long as you are under my roof, and I am paying for the Internet provider that supplies this "free" service, if you want to be on Facebook you will friend me. I think I can dig that. Also I think I may create the account first, myself, and set all the privacy settings to the "absolutely bugfuck paranoid" level, as they are on my own Facebook account.
