So maybe you've been sitting on the sidelines a while, but you are ready to get more involved in the Ada County Democrats. One great place to plug in: the Central Committee meetings, held the third Tuesday of each month. They're currently happening at the IBEW Labor Hall, 225 N 16th, on the corner of 16th and Bannock in downtown Boise. Tonight's meeting starts at 7, and agenda items include the Hyde Park Street Fair, the JFK Banquet in November, and the February 5 presidential caucus. Your ideas and energy are always welcome.
If you can't make it tonight, check out the Democrats' booth at the Western Idaho Fair, right near the entrance to the Expo Building. You'll find plenty of info on how to get involved. Yours truly will be there from 2 to 5 p.m. tomorrow (Wednesday, August 22). Stop on by if you're in the neighborhood!
I'll tell Brian but one reason I don't attend is the lame location. No offense to the brotherhood. Can't we dovetail with the drinking liberally crowd?

We used to meet at the former (and spacious) Boise Bridge Club quarters on Overland Road, downstairs from the current office location.
The Ada Dems will have a new office on State Street as of next month (I think), and I suspect that'll be the new meeting location as well.
But yes, tell Brian your thoughts. A pre-DL meeting might be an option worth considering.

It's an interesting thought, Sisyphus. My sense was that the DL folks wanted to keep things as informal and non-Party-like as possible. But if you want to pitch it to Whitney or Jim or whomever is organizing DL these days, I'd be happy to have that conversation. Our new office, assuming we can finalize the lease this week, will be at 4121 W. State Street, Suite B. This is near The Lift on State St., which I understand is a pretty good bar & grill. Thanks for the plug, Julie.
