Tonight’s Progressive Happy Hour, one of the best ways to get drunk and wonk out at the same time!

On tonight’s “agenda”? Senator Gordon Smith. (Okay, so there is no agenda—just a bunch of liberals getting together to get sloshed and dish political gossip—Smith is a good opener, though.)

OK, we think we’ve figured this out. Today is Groundhog Day.

If Gordon Smith pops out of his hole in the ground and sees his shadow, we’ll have six more months without an officially announced opponent. If Gordon Smith doesn’t see his shadow - our long dark winter is almost over, and we’ll get an opponent in just a few short weeks.

Or maybe it’s the other way around.

Either way, it’s the First Friday of the month — and that means it’s time for YOU to come out of your winter hole, and join us for Progressive Happy Hour.

We’re going old-school. The Galaxy. 909 East Burnside. Tonight. 5:30.

And remember, it’s Groundhog Day, February 2. 2/2. Every drink you order should be a double.

PHH sent out a little graphic, too:
