To help pay for the left-leaning voter guides, the League of Pissed Off Voters -- which is billed as "an all-volunteer chapter of a national organization that works in key cities and states to make politics relevant, fun, and meaningful to young people; especially those traditionally shut out of the political process" -- is have a drunken fundraiser tonight, a fundraiser involving local celebrities. The local people of note, who will be serving you drinks all night long, are as follows:
- Jeff Adachi: SF's Public Defender, documentary filmmaker
-
Jane Kim: SF School Board Member, arts and youth advocate
-
Chris Daly:SF Supervisor of District 6, progressive progressive, former bartender
-
Broke-Ass Stuart:Local blogger, all-around awesome human being
All tip money will go to LOPOV, as will all sales of Paulaner Hefe Weizen (mmm) and Red Bull Cocktails (hooker juice). Oh, and there will be prizes, loads of elitist wonks, a gaggle of drunk easy folks, and fun.
The merriment goes down at Elixir bar on 16th Street and Guerrero, starting at 9 p.m. See you there! Go here for more details.



Where in Fairfield is that?
I'd rather have the tables turned and be the one serving drinks to Chris Daly.
Don't you think he would be way more entertaining after a couple absinthe cocktails?
That picture is creepy but if I had to choseā¦bottom right as most likely candidate after some absinthe cocktails.
the last fundraiser I went to at Elixir (for the KML troupe) proved to be far too difficult to even get a drink, let alone stay for more than 10 minutes to enjoy said drink and possibly order more. Plus, who would even want to look at Chris Daly in person?
Good luck to anyone who goes.
These Elixir fundraisers are awful. You pay at the door for drink tickets, and wait five people deep at the bar while a couple of bartenders make swanky cocktails that take 10 minutes each. You'll be lucky if you get a chance to even use your tickets.
Ridiculous.
I usually go to Elixir to get away from these types of shenanigans. It's a small bar with great atmosphere until you get about twenty or so people jammed in there. Then it's not pleasant at all. I can't imagine trying to get a drink in there with this going on.
Well..if nothing else the commentators of SFist have proven their worth as knowing how to get a f'n drink in this town as no one would be caught dead trying to drink at this charitable event. Myself happily included.
Times are fucking tough - most of us are drinking at places where you don't need tokens or crowds.
Thank goodness for the upwardly mobile (and patient!) drinkers out there.
