Could anyone imagine a DU reunion/convention party?

[AlinPA]

Where would it be held?
How big would the meeting place would be?
How many would attend?
What would we do?
I'm dreaming today, but I smile when I think about

[Sapere aude]

1. Have it on the White House lawn after we inaugurate our next Dem President.

[AlinPA]

3. That's thinking big.

[peace13]

5. Yes the White House.

Just before * declares martial law.

[Breeze54]

29. Or on the Capital grounds!!

Hell, take over DC like we did in 2005!!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. My dear AlinPA!

I have indeed dreamed of such a thing!

It would most likely be in a major city, probably in the summer!

Who knows how many would/could attend!

But I'm thinking it would be huge.....

I would be there, barring serious illness!

What would we do?

Eat, drink, sing, laugh, talk, talk talk!

The meeting place would need to be pretty big.....think major hotel ballroom!

:bounce: :bounce:

[AlinPA]

6. "Blue state" or "red state"?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. Either one...

But the city would pretty much need to be blue!

I like Chicago, myself!

[Renew Deal]

4. I could imagine it.

7. Whe the first YearlyKos took place last summer,

I wrote Skinner and suggested a DU convention. I never heard back from him. I think it would be a great idea. In the meantime, I hope a lot of DUers will be at YearlyKos this year. Since it's in Chicago, it's fairly central. I'll be there and I know of at least a few other DUers who will be as well. Barring our own convention, we can tag onto this one.

[LSK]

9. Yes, this years is in Chicago

Which is centrally located and a good place for it.

And its easy for me to attend. :)

[never cry wolf]

23. Here ya go, YearlyKos, Chicago, Aug. 2 - 5

8. SALT LAKE CITY!

[firefox_fan]

10. San Francisco!

[proud patriot]

26. I like that idea

I'm only 45 miles from SF

[Buzz Clik]

11. Dear God. I can only imagine:

The environmentalists would come wandering in barefooted wearing only animal skins. The PETA crowd would immediately throw paint all over them.

The socialists would be gathered in the corner wearing images of Hugo Chavez on t-shirts and looking for rich people to yell at.

The DU admins would be gathered around a laptop trying to get democraticunderground.com back online after its latest crash.

A small crowd of beard-wearing latte-sipping NPR-listening academics will be pontificating to whomever they can corner.

The DU faction of the NRA will be having a gun battle with hotel security in the parking lot.

A klatch of paranoid DUers wearing tinfoil hats will be constructing a mock-up of WTC Building 7.

The Dennis Kucinich fan club will be wondering why everyone is ignoring them, while the Draft Gore crusade will be circulating petitions and conducting polls.

The GLBT, feminist, and atheist crowds will figure out who I am, and they'll be fighting over who gets to beat the shit out me first.

==============

Yeah, I can imagine it. I wouldn't miss it for the world.

[durrrty libby]

12. Now THAT sounds like fun

[shadowknows69]

13. I have a big back yard

and a DJ system with 1000 cd's. Someone bring a grill and a keg of killians and let's do this thing.

[gilpo]

14. How about at the Rebublican Convention in Minneapolis?

:evilgrin:

[L. Coyote]

15. Make Labor Day a DU Meet-up Day in all major cities. maximize participant ## s

[Breeze54]

17. Hell yeah!! Have it in Boston!!

:P

[Dinger]

18. How About The "Heartland,"

specifically, Wisconsin, more specifically, my house?????

[Breeze54]

20. lmao! Can you accomadate 95,000 people??

:rofl:

[Dinger]

25. 40 Acres Of Woods, Maybe I Could?

Hey, cool! We could have a camping jamboree!

[Breeze54]

28. I'll pass on the camping thing, thank you very much!

:P

I need a soft bed in my old age! ;)

Besides, it's cold as hell up there!! :rofl:

[Taverner]

34. I'm dandy with the Midwest

Not too hard for me to get to Wisconsin from California.

And I'll bring the IPA for the crew.

[lonestarnot]

19. I like that idea!

}(

[Breeze54]

21. It'd be nice! Near the ocean and lots to do too!

[lonestarnot]

35. I have three beautiful friends there, one or two DUers.

[rug]

22. As long as it doesn't conflict with Hannity's Freedom concert.

[librechik]

24. We need to all meet in Denver at the convention next year

beers afterward at the Pec! (all 100,000 of us?

hint--about 20 people can squeeze in El Chapultepec)

[Hawkeye-X]

31. And DU'ers can bunk at my place..

I got enough space for ummm, 20 people, if you don't mind the leaky basement.

[DS1]

27. Been there, done that

:)

[AZBlue]

30. It should be somewhere in the middle of the country with a major airport hub.

That way it would be less expensive and more likely that more DU'ers could actually make it.

[Breeze54]

32. But most DUers are from the east coast!

I think.... :shrug:

[Taverner]

33. There's only one place that could work for us all

Chicago, IL

Especially if Barack Obama is our next prez.

[Breeze54]

36. You may be right!

But the poll is showing a heavy west coast presence here.
