I'll be up in Lawrence

[Broken_Hero]

in about two weeks, for Haskell Indian Nations Graduation, and their Graduation Pow-wow...I hope, if any are in the area, that you can come over to see the dancing/drums/artwork....:D

Link for Haskell Pow-wow:

http://www.haskell.edu/haskell/powwow.asp

If any of you want to meet up, pm me, or reply here...thanks, :D

on edit:its late, to many words/run on sentences...

1. Oh yeah Meetup time

I will defer to Mabus and the Admiral to set it up, but I will be there. It's been too long since we had a meetup anyway. What a great occasion to have one for! :hi:

[Broken_Hero]

2. Sounds good to me, :)

We will be up there wednesday the 9th, all through the weekend...friday will be kinda of a bad day together, unless we do it in the evening. My wife will be doing some touring with some big wigs from her work...she is trying to get her workplace to support Haskell via money/recruitment...things of that nature.

[evlbstrd]

3. Mabus is in da haus

using evl's laptop. We're in Iowa tonight (me, evl, the Admiral and Rex, our DU associate). What's the best day? We don't live far from HINU. It's like we're just up the street. I'll send you my home phone number when we get home tomorrow. It'll make it much easier to hook up especially when you're in town.

Anyone else you want me to contact? Any of the old WPO gang that I can hunt down for you?

As for the graduation pow-wow, I can't believe it is time for it already. Do you a relative graduating or is it primarily work related?

Looking forward to seeing you and the missus.

Mabus

[Broken_Hero]

4. I got two friends graduating...

One is getting his BA in AIS(American Indian Studies, for those who don't know), and my other friend is getting his Elementary Ed Degree(BA I think).

Nah, you don't have to hunt anyone done, my wife is all ready in contact with the two most...verbal ones!...:D I think, Friday Night/Saturday night might be a good time...

Perhaps we can meet at Coyotoe's or some other down trodden bar/or bowling alley...wherever works for me. I'm interested in meeting some Duers....:D

[Mabus]

21. The Twins?

The Winnebago and the Navajo? :rofl:

You know the ones I mean. ;) And yes, they are vocal.

[Broken_Hero]

24. Yes, those two...

I suspect my wife/and I will be with them for most of friday night.

[Mabus]

26. The Winnebago likes warm beer

I think she likes Bud. But I remember she likes it warm. :toast:

[Broken_Hero]

29. I forgot, the winnebago

is not in Lawrence anymore...she is in Iowa now....:(

[Mabus]

33. Damn! That's too bad

Ever since I got married I don't get out as much. I had heard she was thinking about transferring. We had her over for dinner a couple of years ago (hadn't realized it was so long until now) and that was always a topic of discussion.

I guess we should all drink a warm one for Taz.

on edit: I guess I should refer to her as Hochunck instead of Winnebago.

[Broken_Hero]

35. Hochunk/winnebago...

same thing basically.....


:hide:

[Mabus]

38. Exactly

Seen one of them, you seen 'em all.

:yoiks:

[Broken_Hero]

5. I'm leaning towards a saturday evening/night

My wife says we should meet at like Old Chicago...have some dinner, a few drinks and what not....I believe, my wife will have a booth at the pow-wow though, so if you guys want to met us there, and met up(say hi/all that jazz) that is a possiblity too...but I'd still would like to hang out, have dinner, and have a few drinks.....Old Chicago sounds good to me, I know they got my fave beer....

[Mabus]

22. Which booth?

What are you guys selling?

What's your favorite beer?

[Broken_Hero]

23. We aren't selling anything,

my wife's work is putting up a booth, for recruitment, aimed at graduating Haskell kids....:) And my favorite beer is George Killians Irish Red.

[Mabus]

27. So she's trying to sell them on a better future.

;) Good for her.

Omigosh. You said the magic word: Irish. Now the KC group is more likely to join us (wherever we end up).

[evlbstrd]

42. More Guinness for me!

[Mabus]

43. No. No more Guinness for you

at least wait until you get off work. :eyes:

edited to add: call us when you get home. I've got something hysterical to tell you.

[evlbstrd]

45. Why do you hate me?

OK, I'm home, but I still don't have long distance.

[Mabus]

69. Thanks for taking my call

And I don't hate you, yet. :evilgrin:

[Broken_Hero]

44. Ha, you can have all the Guiness you want

I really don't care for it much.....:)


:hide:

[evlbstrd]

46. There's no need to hide.

At least until the meetup.

[Broken_Hero]

47. its been...

about 8yrs since I drank my last(only) Guiness.....perhaps, I need a refresher course on the subject.....:D

[evlbstrd]

48. I'd be happy to guide you.

Of course, it must first be poured correctly.

[ComerPerro]

6. Let me know the details. I live very close to Haskell

[Broken_Hero]

7. Damn, I didn't know that....:)

I hope you can show up....:D :hi:

[ComerPerro]

8. If I do, I'll be walking. Those things get crazy traffic at Haskell

but I am definately up for a meetup.

[Broken_Hero]

9. It shouldn't be that much traffic...-edit

there should be parking...around Blalock Hall/Powhatan hall (which is just about 3 minutes away from the pow wow grounds)...I've worked security/parking detail at those powwows before, and we try to get people to park on the grass, but there are other places to go...if one, were so inclined....:D

ETA-If you guys want to meet at the powwow, I suggest meeting at Powhatan Hall....essentially, if you know where Haskell's pow grounds are, just follow that perimeter road around Roe Cloud Hall, and Blalock....once you pass blalock, you will see Powhatan on your left hand side of the road....My buddy is an RA at Powhatan, so parking there, should be an issue.

[ComerPerro]

10. Check your PM

[Broken_Hero]

11. I just pm'd you back,

:hi:

[ComerPerro]

12. I just got through talking to petersond on the phone, sounds like a good time would be

during or just after the pow wow on Saturday. Maybe you guys can all come to Lawrence, we can try for Free State or Red Lyon or Louises or something. One thing he mentioned was Astros, out in the Northwest part.

Let me know.

[proud2BlibKansan]

13. Date??

When? What Saturday?

[Broken_Hero]

14. A week from this saturday,

the 12th of May...not sure what time, I told CP anything after say...5pm or so?

[proud2BlibKansan]

15. gotcha

Lookin forward to it!

[Broken_Hero]

16. Me too, :)

its been a while since I had the oppurtunity to talk politics/visit with like minded people(IRL)....

:D

[Mabus]

19. Just tell us where.

and we will be there. :thumbsup:

[Broken_Hero]

25. Not sure where...

I was thinking the bowling alley, or old chicago....but, i'm very open to other locales...

[ComerPerro]

17. Yeah, I told him you all are kinda "slow", and that I'd have to speak for you

[proud2BlibKansan]

18. Speak for yourself

I am not "slow". :)

[Mabus]

20. Well, you certainly had me fooled

:rofl: ;)

[Mabus]

28. Some friends of ours are having a commitment ceremony on the 12th

It will be around 2 to 3 with a small reception afterward. We'll show up wherever you all decide but we will probably be a little late. To be honest, as happy as I am to see our friends a loving commitment to each other in the presence of family and friends, I'm kind of more excited about the ceremony itself. I've never been to a pagan commitment ceremony so I'm looking forward to being exposed to something new.

[Broken_Hero]

30. Truth be told, I'm really thinking of Old Chicago

to meet up...I know they got my beer, and their food is pretty decent, and they got pool tables/darts.

[Mabus]

31. Sounds fine to me

You're the guest. We should go somewhere we know you like to go. The Dems held the SOTU Watch Party there and we got some pretty good food.

[Broken_Hero]

32. So, Old Chicago it is.....:)

its on...what 23/Iowa ST isn't it?

[Mabus]

34. Just south of 23rd & Iowa, on the west side

btw, here's a shocker for you, the Furr's Cafeteria got torn down. It's too bad because it was a good landmark to use.

[Broken_Hero]

36. Yeah, I was there when it went out of business...

I use to eat at Furr's quite often...after they got shut down, I went to....? That Chinese buffet right next to Perkins....Kings Palace? Or something like that...

[Mabus]

37. King Buffet

proud2Blib likes King Buffet.

Yeah Furr's has been out of business for a while but I was surprised to see the entire lot leveled last week. They still had the heavy equipment out there grading it and they've got signs announcing whatever is going up next.

[BuelahWitch]

39. Yeah, the landmark is now a big ass pile of mud

that I get to gaze at out my window every day. Soon to be CVS.

[Mabus]

40. Yippee! The first DU mud-wrestling meetup - EVER!

We need to work out the match-ups.

[BuelahWitch]

41. Gup and Kramer, Bear and Skala

Spike can referee...

[evlbstrd]

50. I've talk Gup some new moves.

She's wicked fast.

[Mabus]

52. Kramer should be the referee

Because Spike and Gup are in the same weight class.

[evlbstrd]

49. Hooray!

I can finally wear my mud-wrestling thong!

[Mabus]

51. What do you mean "finally"?

:eyes: We know you wear it around the house. :evilgrin:

[evlbstrd]

53. Yeah, well,

this time it'll be outside my pants.

[Mabus]

58. And I thought that was a codpiece

I didn't know it was a special storage unit for your suit.

[evlbstrd]

60. No, no.

That's the only way I can have an ass. No stuffing up front.

[Mabus]

61. That's why you sit at an angle!

You need to learn to distribute the thickness better.

[evlbstrd]

64. It's all about the lighting.

Drinking also helps to bulge it a bit.
Then I have to pee.

[Mabus]

65. *smacks own head*

:eyes:

[proud2BlibKansan]

54. This one?

[evlbstrd]

55. I have a new green one.

Just for mud.

[Mabus]

62. Why green?

to match your underwear?

[evlbstrd]

63. Ha!

I don't wear any!
The green is an expression of my heritage. And isn't bacteria orgainic?

[Mabus]

66. That's more information than I needed to know!

:rofl: I just had a vision of the Seinfeld episode with Elaine moving quickly away from Kramer when she realized that the only thing that separated her from Kramer's "boys" was a thin layer of gabardine. :yoiks:

[evlbstrd]

67. So

That one extra layer makes that much difference?

[Mabus]

68. Sometimes it does

Sometimes it doesn't. I'll 'splain it to you sometime.

[proud2BlibKansan]

56. Here's a thong for Mabus

[evlbstrd]

57. Hubba hubba!

[Mabus]

59. The only thong I'll ever get to wear

is also called a chastity belt. At least that's what my husband told me.

[Broken_Hero]

70. So what time do you guys want to meet up at Old Chicago's?

I'm thinking either 5, or 6....any thoughts? I'm heading up there in a few hours....I got CP's phone, and Mabus's....so I'll probably be in contact with both later on tonight/tomorrow(cause I will be without internet, more than likely).

[Mabus]

71. Let's cut it in half: 5:30

We can be there and you can show up when you can. I realize that once a person steps onto the Haskell campus that their watch automatically goes on Indian time. ;)

[Broken_Hero]

72. 5:30 sounds good to me,

we got up here last night around 9pm or so.....I hope to see you all on saturday, :D

[ComerPerro]

73. May not wa nt to call e3me now, I am extremely drunhk

[Broken_Hero]

74. Sober up!

:D

[ComerPerro]

75. lol, maybe I am not as good a typist as I thought
