Who plans to join us then

[hermetic]

to give a big MN welcome to a Lone Star DU'er? Next Friday, the 17th, at the Liffey ( http://www.theliffey.com/ ) anytime after 5 pm. So far I've got DPBrown, LydiaLC, DFLPrincess, NNNS, Bvar and LakeGuy. Note to Chickenscratching: this is a restaurant/bar so kids are okay. No Name No Slogan needs a place to sleep afterwards. Anybody got a spare futon? The Liffey is attached to a hotel, so there's always that.

1. I might be out of town again

Missed the last one, too.:-(

[Demrock6]

2. I will see what I can do.

I kind of doubt it, but maybe. Either way the Liffey rocks. Make sure to take a look at the sippn' whiskey menu. Have a Finnegan's beer. Minnesota made that donates 10% of profits to charity.

10. I'm a possible

My son is coming into town either Friday or Saturday (he's driving from Tahoe). If he arrives Friday, I won't be there.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

11. Bring him along?

We wouldn't be a bad influence or anything. :-)

12. speak for yourself

I'm not above putting crazy left-wing ideas into the heads of the young people of today. :o

And yes, I will be there too. It's turning into a busy week for me, but I wouldn't miss this for the world!

:toast:

[Lydia Leftcoast]

14. Putting "crazy left-wing ideas" into young people's heads

is the essence of being a good influence, wouldn't you agree?

By the way, here's what I said about the Minnesota DUers in the Lounge:

[no name no slogan]

26. Correct as always, Lydia

Great post, BTW. See you Friday!

:hi:

[GAspnes]

15. I would let him *near* you guys

he's already liberal enough. You could push him over the edge.

[SupormomFreeAtLast]

37. Over the edge?

Whatever do you mean?

[chickenscratching]

13. hey, thanks for that

grrrreat! i might have a spare couch to spare, but I have to check on that.


Ok, I solemnly swear to be there, but it's going to be hard to be the only one deprived of a nice cool beer and such. x(


count me in, it's high time I meet my fellow MN'ers, I have been regressive for far too long.

:hi:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

16. I think I can be there.

[dpbrown]

17. This is the same as the June get-together thread, right?

So I believe that I'm a go, if not in labor on that day (the 17th is my wife's due date).

[dpbrown]

18. Hey, look at that, I'm the 17th response, too

Must be fate.

[chickenscratching]

19. congratulations!

good luck to both of you!

[indigo32]

21. Yeah that'd go over real well

sorry honey, I was at a DU get together LOL.
Seriously though, thats very exciting, another little progressive entering the world soon!

[no name no slogan]

25. Whoa, I didn't know it was that close!

Congrats, Dan! I hope you two have a smooth delivery, on the 17th or not!

:toast:

[dpbrown]

38. Could be tonight.

But I'll let everyone know as soon as it happens.

[fudge stripe cookays]

20. Well, I'm an obvious shoe-in for attendance....

hee hee!

:D
FSC, the Lone Star gal in question...

PS- I'm in town now, and probably won't be able to check PMs as much as I wanted- the Wi-fi spot down the street closes at 6:30.

So I'm in room 1912 at the Radisson Riverfront if you need to get ahold of me!

[dpbrown]

27. Welcome to Minnesota!

The only blue state to get bluer in 2004!

[fudge stripe cookays]

33. Tanks!

Everyone has been extremely friendly so far. And I bonded with the lady at the Museum Gift Store over politics.

She was very happy to hear about our extremely hugely-attended state convention in June last year.

Can't wait to meet everybody!
FSC :hi:

[Wapsie B]

22. I'm planning on it.

[chickenscratching]

23. I will also be bringing a friend with me

just for the record and everything.
:hi:

[katinmn]

24. I hope people take lots of pictures

Cuz I can't be there.

I'll help plan the July gathering, though.:)

[Moriarty]

28. I'll try to be there!

I'm sorry for being so noncommittal, as a newbie to the Twin Cities, I'd love to meet you all but I'm not sure if I'm able to make it.

Just in case though, as you all are seasoned Meetup veterans, is there a place in the Liffey you all congregate? Is there a password I need to know so I know I'm mingling with the right crowd :)

[bvar22]

29. Welcome Moriarty!

No secret passwords. You will know us.
Just look for the smiling, relaxed, happy group.
Newcomers are especially welcome.
Very informal. You may eat, drink, snack, or just sit and talk.

Do you need directions?

[Moriarty]

30. Thanks!

I'll do my best to be there, and depending on work, I may be smiling and relaxed myself :)

As for directions, your other thread and Google maps gives me everything I need. Thanks again!

[hermetic]

31. I think they will give us one of the private rooms

I called and reserved for around 15. We can just stick a little DU sign on the window

[bvar22]

32. There may be a few more coming.

I sent out E-Mails.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

34. Good!

That's been my self-assumed job the last couple of times, but I've been too busy.

Thanks for doing that!

[DFLforever]

35. Thanks for the invite, bvar

but I can't attend this Friday.

Maybe I'll be able to make the next one.

Have a great time.:beer:

[DemonFighterLives]

36. Can't make this one

Sounds like it is going to be a great time.

You guys and gals rock! :yourock:
:toast:

[myrna minx]

39. I'm afraid I cannot make it.

:-( Sad family stuff has come up.
