Driberally this evening

It's Drinking Liberally Center City's second annual Superbowl party! Meet us at Triumph Brewery's upstairs bar, where there are drink and food specials from 6:00 p.m. until the end of the game. Kick-off is at 6:25.


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 year's topic: If you spell it "Geaux Saints," then you'd have to say "Joe Saints." In French, a g followed by an e is always a soft g. To get a hard g sound you should really spell it "Gaux." People fuss about how silly and difficult French is, but the orthographical rules are very regular and strictly related to pronunciation. There are very few exceptions to the rules; English is monumentally more difficult.
