Milwaukee DU Meetup Pictures

[RetroLounge]

Unfortunately I did not get pictures of everyone. But here's a few taken in the tavern next to the bookstore...

I know Ralps got more pics and will post them next week sometime.

from memory, I got to meetup with dolo amber, hedges, cindy_lou_who, mzteris, dembotoz, jimbo and mrs jimbo, class_warrior and his wife (warrior_princess?), sybylla and mad_as_hell, jeff_in_milwaukee, ralps, and several more whose names escape me. enjoy the pics, meager in quantity as they are...

Everyone had a great time. There were probably a dozen of us at the 8pm shift, and another dozen after 10pm. The bookstore was open at 8pm for shopping, and again at the end of the night. A few books were sold, a few beers were emptied, and great conversation ensued. At the end of the night, about 6 of use hung out on the side walk outside Xenith and chatted. When I left, the rest were still going strong. Looking forward to the next meetup!

Oh well, it was fun anyway. Special thanks to Governor Doyle for the yawner of a speech that kept me away from the Meetup until very late!

:hug:

[CatholicEdHead]

21. It looks like you had a great time

One question, MGD instead of Spotted Cow?

Isn't that some form of Wisconsinite sacrilege? ;)

[Bushfire]

22. I had a great time, even if Retro forgot my name already.

I even bought a book from him. Sad we missed Class Warrior again, but we'll have to plan another to make up for that.

[Poiuyt]

23. I didn't know that people drank beer in Milwaukee

[ewagner]

24. Hedges Lives!?!?!?!

I'm sorry I wasn't there to meet the legendary Hedges!

[RetroLounge]

26. how cool to see all you guys!

looks like you had a blast.

[SeattleGirl]

27. Thanks, RL! Those are great. I think class_warrior, in the pic with

the Impeach Bush sign, looks a lot like Donald Sutherland.

[RetroLounge]

28. It is a great pic of him, isn't it

and I see the resemblence...

29. Why do I look so excited in the first picture, and so stupid in the second?

:shrug:

[dolo amber]

30. If we could *NOT* intentionally kick threads which contain

horrid pics of me (not that I blame the photographer(s) mind you, it's just impossible to take one of me that's not :shrug:)...that'd be GREAT.

Thanks, peaches. :eyes:

[Magrittes Pipe]

31. Yeah, I only saw this because RL kicked it this morning.

Dummkopf.

[dolo amber]

32. Your kopf is dumb.

[Magrittes Pipe]

33. Well, you are the boss (head, if you will) of me, so...

...yes. ;)

[PeaceNikki]

34. In the 1st you appear to be pouring REALLY cheap beer - excitement explained.

And the 2nd, I think you were explaining the allure of Beatallica, the fall of Kind Diamond... or possibly describing some disturbing photos? :shrug:

[Magrittes Pipe]

36. I could care less about Beatallica, but King Diamond is my Dark Lord.

And you're way off on the first. I was pouring Old Style -- that's liquid gold! A pitcher of that plus CLW's mixer was SEVEN TWENTY-FIVE! Eight bucks with tip!

[CottonBear]

35. Damn. Y'all Milwaukee DUers are a good looking bunch!

:hi:

We're hoping to have an Atlanta - NE GA meetup soon.

It's so fun meeting up with other DUers isn't it? :)
