Progressive Par-tay!

Because no one knows how to party quite like fired-up drunken liberals, you might want to consider checking out tonight's ACLU bash on the Eastside before you head out downtown. The American Civil Liberties Union of Texas is throwing a fundraising party at The Old School on East 11th, from 6-10pm. "Messin' with Texas 2005" will include performances by Ant Man Bee and Bombasta, as well as indoor video installations and plenty of alcohol. Best of all? You can bring your dogs! Now that's smart progressive thinking...

Afterparty at the Longbranch Inn @ 10pm with music by the Ridgetop Syncopators.

Tickets to the fundraiser are $12, $10 with a student ID. Proceeds go directly towards ensuring your basic rights as a citizen of the United States - something which, in this day and age, is much more than idealistic sloganeering.
