Wonketteers from the nation's upper-left quadrant converged on the final night of June, for an evening of drinkery, raillery, and possibly manifesto-writery at Seattle's Latona Pub, which the Seattle Weekly informs us "is not another hipster bar, thank you very much." We would not know one way or another, since Your Wonkette Correspondent got no more than a couple hundred miles from Boise before mechanical diffulties put the kibosh on his plans to attend the reader-organized festivities, more about which later. But did Stephen King need to have been alive during the Crimean War to write
When Wonkette first announced the San Francisco mixer, I suggested downtown. There is the City garage at 4th and Mission, and another one on Stockton Street. Lots of Friday night parking.
There are the Embarcadero parking garages - more expensive, but wide open after Monday-Friday business hours.
Public transportation downtown is excellent - with BART to the East and South Bays.
I realize I'm probably sound like a Buster, but this is just about the worst location that could have been picked.
Check out the motels along Lombard Street off Van Ness. Many of them don't post rates - it's all negotiation, and one is right next to another.
Well I&#039;ll be <i>damned</i>. Would ya look at that. JWdzntC has indeed &quot;avatar-ed up.&quot;
Well done, Sir. And as such, I shall follow.
OH, and Zoom-man, as there is a <i>keeper-of-owls</i> commenter that predates me, prolly best if I stick with <i>OWL</i> as opposed to <i>Owls</i>. I still look forward to seeing Vlad The Impala - soon as you get your rear-end in gear, as it were.
As a non-resident occasional visitor to SF, I could ask where, exactly, parking <i>wouldn&#039;t</i> be impossible on a Friday night, but then I suppose you&#039;d have to kill me if you told me.
For me, since I have to drive in from Groveland, it&#039;s just a matter of where do I get the $200 motel room.
Speaking of drinking meet-ups - do we have a place in San Francisco yet? Not to be a Nudge - but today is Monday the 9th and the event is Friday the 13th.
Are you going to share the secret - or do we just wander the streets of the City, searching for The Great White Wino?
My daughter had her first legal drink of alcohol at Madam&#039;s Organ three years ago this month. I think I would travel the 1000 miles back there for a drinkything event held at that venue.
What about the little people? Was there anything for them? Something to encourage them to give generously to Mitt&#039;s campaign? Or don&#039;t they get it? Are they just too uneducated to understand? When will Wonkette have a drinky thing in the Hamptons?

It just won&#039;t be the same without both of you there.
It&#039;s the 540 Club on Clement (I axed yesterday). There&#039;s an update on the original Meaty Drinkup post.

Thank you for the update.
I&#039;m very sorry to hear that.
Parking is going to be impossible on a Friday night. Actually, of course, every night - but Friday is probably the worst.
Not close to public transportation for those who decide to have a drink.
Don&#039;t mean to be a buzzkill, but that&#039;s really a poor choice...

That&#039;s Washington AC.

So when is the Montana version going to happen?
We could all get together and shoot up an outhouse or something...
