That was *great*. As usual. |
|
I don't have the seating chart, or the pictures, but I do have the shortest drive home.
Great meeting, DUers!

I thought I'd be the first one commenting on today's gathering.
We had an excellent turnout (were even a little crowded in our alcove) and, as usual, a good time was had by all. It's so comforting to gather with so many like minded people.

I thought it made its way back down to Mr & Mrs Dodger.

10. I have the seating chart |
|
Am working on the pictures now. I run each through Photoshop, fixing lighting, color balance, etc. Should have 'em up tomorrow before the Vikes game.
Stay tuned!
It was great, what a great bunch! The Dem-MN'ers added a lot, I will have to make my way over there soon.

3. An excellent gathering of like-minded folks! |
|
Bridging the DU and the non-DU with other activists from Minnesota.
As mentioned, several attendees came by as a result of an announcement on the Democrats.com affiliated Yahoo Group for Minnesota (that I moderate): Dem-MN
Find it online at Yahoo Groups, or join by sending an email to:
Dem-MN-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
Thanks for an excellent and spirited discussion.
How about that Birth Tax?

4. it's always fun talking with you |
|
I suspect we should actually get together in some quiet place for a Real Discussion of Issues, Strategy and Tactics.
There are a bunch of good ideas floating around in our crowd. Might be time to put some of them into action.

16. You're spot on with that thought |
|
"Exporting" whatever we did right in Minnesota comes to mind.

19. first, we have to get every state settled by level-headed Norwegians |
|
after that, it's easy.
I've often wondered what characteristic(s) Minnesota had that made us turn out so well. A fanatical devotion to education, obviously, and a certain Midwestern humility. Due to the weather, I think. We get yearly object lessons that we're not so great.
We should get together and see if we can lengthen that list and figure out how to teach our lessons learned.

20. Hey! Let's not forget the Irish here! |
|
We've always had a love of learning - and a natural tendency toward rebellion.

8. It was great meeting all in attendance! |
|
It's so refreshing to be with like-minded people. It would be cool to have a monthly gathering to talk about issues and plot.
I personally handed the seating chart back to Mr. Dodger before I left.
Looking forward to learning more about the birth tax. :)

9. Hey, everybody--great to see all of you again and meet some new folks! |

We were active and loud, as usual, and were spilling out of our alcove at the Local.
And having found my way home by an unfamiliar bus route that had no signs or schedules posted, I'm almost as steamed about the ridiculous Metro Transit System as I am about the BIRTH TAX. :-)

11. I knew I'd be the last to post! |
|
I had a great time as well until I discovered that I had a flat tire. :( Then I had to pick up my kids at my sisters house and drive back home to Medina.

12. Nope, I get the honor of being the last to post about the get together. |

As it has been said before, it was a great get together tonight! It was great to finally meet all of you including the Dem-Mn folks(who will hopefully soon be members of DU!) too!
We should get together more often!
