CT-04: Need a break from NY politics?

As a born-and-bred New Yorker watching the events of the past week, I know it's been a cringeworthy fortnight for NY progressives. So forget about all of that for one night next week, and meet the candidate who will finally turn all of Connecticut (and New England) blue this fall - Jim Himes

Over the course of this campaign, we really want to build meaningful relationships not just with blogs and activists in the district, but within the entire region as well.

We've been doing these quarterly Pub Quizzes since last September, and they are an absolute blast. Stamford is only 40 mins away by Metro North and the trains run frequently and late. Plus the MTA was even nice enough to not raise fares to CT earlier this month!

This is a great chance to meet the candidate who will finally take down Shays... and to start building tri-state netroots bridges like some type of zombie virtual Robert Moses army.

Plus, free beer, and we promise not to mention the words Client 9 or Joe Bruno.

What's a Pub Quiz, anyway?

A "pub quiz" is a trivia game - similar to "Jeopardy", but more fun because it is played in teams. It's a casual event, so feel free to come alone and make new friends; or, better yet, bring a few friends along for the fun! There will be four rounds of trivia questions, and the highest-scoring team from each round will have Jim Himes join their team to play the next round.

What if I don't have a team?

Don't worry! There will be plenty of teams that will need extra participants. Just show up at the door!

(Disclosure: I am proud to work for Jim Himes.)
