Oakland City Council Race: Pat Kernighan's buying drinks Wednesday!

Apparently the news that her Oakland City Council District Two Seat Competitor Jennifer Pae raised over $30,000 has driven her to the bar (just kidding). Oakland City Councilperson Pat Kernighan's hosting a gathering at Era Art Bar on Grand Avenue, just 40 feet from Broadway in Downtown Oakland, where she's buying cocktails for her friends and supporters - uh, with a donation.

If you follow this space, you recall the last political event this blogger attended at Era Art Bar: the Blogger Party for Libby Schaaf, who's running for the Oakland City Council District Four seat.  In fact, here's the video:



But - not that I'm complaining - you had to buy your drinks, which is great for controlling cocktail consumption!  (And The Era Art Bar's becoming the venue of choice for Oakland political events of late, with Libby, Pat and Oakland Councilmember Rebecca Kaplan holding shindigs there.)

This news of "Complimentary Drinks" emphasized in the email reminds this blogger of the great political election events of the 1990s where you never had to pay for a drink. Of course, the events were held by the San Francisco Democratic Party at The Fairmount Hotel.

But I digress.

The event is held this Wednesday, August 18th from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM, a donation of between $100 if you're a friend and $700 if you're an "angel" is required, and you MUST RSVP by emailing patforcouncil@gmail.com and you can visit her website at www.patforcouncil.com

And as I'm 2,000 miles away, I will not be able to attend.
