tuesdaynight

Good afternoon to all of you on the east coast, and good late-maorning to
all of you on the west coast…Drea, you’re in the middle, so good whatever
time it is there.

As the east coasters know, Ian’s out travelling in some exotic place (I
think he’s in Okalhoma or someplace fun) this week and asked me to do the
weekly east coast e-mail.

So I hereby deem this the first Pan-American Tuesday Night e-mail invite.
Let the games begin.

So whether you’re at Toledo at 9:30, or the Tunnel Top around 6:30 or 7,
think of your cohorts on the opposite coast. Again, if you’re in the
middle, think of people on both coasts who are simultaneously enjoying the
joys of a Tuesday night out with friends (and cheap beer). Through these
simple steps, maybe we can work to end the tragic east coast/west coast (aka
Biggie/Tupac) fighting that has kept us apart for so long.

Now there is a certain irony to the fact that neither Ian nor I are likely
to be at our respective bars (and no, we won’t be at each other’s
bars…though that would have been amusing) because I don’t know if I’ll be
back from Sacramento in time (you east coasters are really missing out on
the glory of California’s state capital), but the rest of you should
definitely enjoy.
On a personal note, my long educational nightmare is over. I’ve decided on
a grad school and will be joining the Penn posse (a large part of this
joint list) in January, but that’s a long way off. Also, from a shameless
self-promotion standpoint, Tom Daschle has named my boss Democratic Leader
of the Week. Check him out at www.dashpac.com. We’re all very proud of him.
