ATTACK of the TYPEWRITERS! Political letter-writing for everyone. WE bring the TYPEWRITERS -- YOU bring the OUTRAGE! ~ FREE! 6:00 pm
Not too many people know it, but one letter = 100 votes. Really! And it's easier when you're not alone. Grab a drink and tell the President (or any politician) what you want. You can write about anything you want, and we'll have a sample letter or two in case you're not sure what to write about. No one can stop you, after all: It's your right! We'll help you compose your (short!) letter, if you want, and answer all your questions. We also bring stamps, envelopes, tons of paper, a board to tally how many voters we've repped, a ding-bell, and notebooks full of letters we've written in the past and responses we've gotten; it's sometimes funny and sometimes sad. This is a free happy hour event.
"Writer, drinker, arts-minded political activist, and bon vivant Hiya Swanhuyser is combining her interests in this neato, monthly, potentially wonderfully absurd thingie. Come to the Makeout Room, grab a drink, and then bang out a letter to any politician you have beef with. "One letter = 100 votes," she says. Cocktails and truth to power, yasss. She'll bring the actual, clickety-clackety typewriters! You bring the drink-fueled rage!" - Marke B, San Francisco Bay Guardian http://www.sfbg.com/2012/12/04/phantasms?page=0%2C2
"Vent your political spleen at this monthly letter-writing party that provides free typewriters, stamps, envelopes, and paper — i.e., pretty much everything you need (give or take a few lobbyists) to get your voice heard in the halls of power." - John Graham, SF Weekly http://www.voiceplaces.com/attack-of-the-typewriters-san-francisco-bay-area-3400510-e/
