My wife and I joined 4 other Southeastern Connecticut Liberal Drinkers at the JJB Dinner last night, where we ate really palatable food and listened to select politicians blather on. Actually, the featured speaker, Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer, gave a very entertaining keynote speech, capped off by an auction of his bolo tie for the benefit of the Connecticut Democrats. It fetched around $3,500.00, if memory serves, though I may have gotten distracted toward the end. I happened to be standing when the bidding started, and one of my tablemates was kind enough to urge me to sit, or I might own the thing right now.
A few pictures. Here’ are the Liberal Drinkers (minus me) with sometime Liberal Drinker Senator Andy Maynard and (she says) future Liberal Drinker (and union activist) Nancy Driscoll (on the right).
And here are the full contingent of “cts”, CTblue (me), CtBlogger, and CTBob. You can see why I prefer to remain behind the camera.
