Young Voter PAC, Future Majority and Living Liberally are teaming up to throw the hottest party at Netroots Nation. Check out the celebrity bartenders: Darcy Burner, Ashwin Madia, Scott Kleeb, John Aravosis, Joan McCarter, Kos, and Stoller. The event is sponsored by our very own YDA President David Hardt, and you know he rolls in style.

A $20 cover charge, payable before the event or at the door, gets you into the event and free beer and food for the first hour. All tips to our Celebrity Bartenders will also go to the Young Voter PAC’s 2008 endorsements and our new State Party Youth Director program. Guests must be 21 to attend the event.

This is going to be an awesome event that benefits some of our favorite candidates and causes.

The party is at Cedar Door’s Biergarten on 2nd and Brazos on Saturday night.
