Hey, who has a DU bumper sticker in Broad Ripple?

[urgk]

I saw a dark blue hatchback with a DU bumper sticker, one supporting Russ Feingold and something else I can't remember at Glendale. Whoever you are, it's the first time I've ever seen DU anything out in public.

1. Oh, and pleased to (almost) meetcha. (n/t)

[Myrina]

2. That would be me

... the other was my 'I stand with Howard Dean' sticker. :hi:

Pleased ta' meetcha too!

11. We were at the 8:20 Iron Man 2.

I mean, we were...cough.. at a rally for some worthy cause, near the Kerasote theaters.

[Myrina]

13. LOL, you must have been leaving when we were arriving ...

.... we were attending the 10:00 :-)

3. Another Indy DU type

I take classes at IAC in Broadripple . . . and a Du member. Sounds like the makings of a local chapter.

[Myrina]

4. LOL we tried that once about 5 years ago ...

had a few get-togethers, evenings out, picnics etc ... sorta fell apart during the winter months with everyone's family/work and life schedules ...

[h9socialist]

5. Yeah . . . I know the feeling . . .

. . . the real idea, though, should be to do what Frederick Douglass said: "Agitate. Agitate. Agitate!"

[Myrina]

6. Indeed it should, but alas, even such a small group as this ...

... "Indy DU'ers" couldn't agree 100% on which positions we wanted to support or, conversely, protest. Although most of us did show for the anti-war protests in 2003/early 04 and some of us were involved in the Dean Organization at that time as well.

Now I think our 'activism' is limited to occassional 'Drinking Liberally' gatherings on Thursday nights at Spencer's Tavern downtown.

:hi:

7. Well, it is amazing how fragmented the U.S. Left is . . .

I've been a member of DSA since the '80s -- and it's amazing how much divergence of opinion you get with that group too. By the way, where's Spencer's Tavern?

[Myrina]

8. Spencer's is actually a tic south of downtown, just across from Lucas Oil Field

Spence apparently used to be a State or County Dem big-wig and got sick of all the plucking and opened Spencer's instead.
DU'er Voltaire can tell you more, he lives a couple houses away from him.

10. Spencer!?! !

Holy. I know him. :)

In fact, I photograph his kid for their Christmas cards, etc. Maybe we should all have lunch at the tavern sometime? We may not be able to get a regular thing going, but it would be cool to meet up from time to time.

12. By the way, I may send him a screen cap to see if his ears were burning. (n/t)

9. Beer?

I am always game for beer!

Drinking Liberally meets on Thursdays, which is my bowling night. Bowling season is over for the the summer (hint).

:toast:

14. Time for a local DU meet up?

Spencer's would do, as would just about any place that serves beer.

15. Time for a meet up, fer sure! Indy Go, Public Libraries, dump Ballard!

I am ready for beer!
