Laura has lined up some guest speakers for the next few months! This month, on the 25 it will be Bryan Schott from UtahPolicy.com. Bryan will be sharing the inside dirt on local politics with “Ten Things I Think I Think before the November Elections.”

Bryan Schott is Managing Editor and Chief Muckraker for UtahPolicy.com. He has previously worked at KCPW radio, KUER Radio and KSL. He has covered politics in Utah since 1998. He also writes a the “Media Player” column for City Weekly.

Then on June 22nd, we’ll have Tim Chambless – Department of Political Science at the University of Utah – with a Preview on the Primaries.

Many of you already know of Tim Chambless, and maybe you’ve heard him speak at Drinking Liberally before. But for those who don’t know, Tim is an Associate Professor/Lecturer for the Department of Political Science at the University of Utah and Academic Outreach Coordinator for the Hinckley Institute of Politics. Tim recently partnered with former U.S. Senator Bob Bennett with a U of U student seminar.

On July 20th it’s The Left Show, with Jeff Bell and Forrest Shaw. “We need to talk about ALEC”. Especially since the ALEC convention is here in SLC July 25-27.

“The Left Show, a weekly self-produced podcast that takes the piss out of conservative politics, local and national, with equal parts vitriol and
comedy, making for an hour-plus “radio” show (complete with swear jar) somewhere between The Daily Show and Real Time With Bill Maher.”
Salt Lake City Weekly March 2012

This is your weekly reminder that Drinking Liberally will be meeting, as always, in the back room of the Piper Down starting at 6:30 tonight. With Democrat and Republican conventions last weekend, we’ll have plenty to talk about.

One of the topics of conversation that comes up from time to time at Drinking Liberally – especially when someone new to town stops in – is how difficult it can be for a responsible adult to get a drink in Utah. Well, take a look at this map:

At least there’s one map in which Utah is blue!

The Democratic County Convention last week was a fun experience and we have an exciting slate of candidates to get behind this year. Next up is the State Democratic Convention Friday night and Saturday morning. So join us for a couple of drinks at our regular time (6:30 PM-9:30 PM) in our usual location in the back room at Piper Down (1492 S.

One final note, if you are a delegate in Congressional District 2 then you will have the opportunity to vote for our own Laura Arellano for National Delegate.
