Democratic Underground Meetup

[RogueTrooper]

I have just added my name and I am looking forward to meeting up with fellow DUers.

http://du.meetup.com/

Who did this, out of interest?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

1. Are there really DU'ers in Calgary?

I'm shocked.

[calimary]

2. In So Cal, no less?! Hot Diggity-Dog! I just voted for the locale.

I have met a few DUers (mainly at Dean Meetups). It's like a fraternity/sorority, almost. And unlike the ones in college (mine didn't have the frat crap when I was a student there, which was one of the big reasons I found the school appealing), THIS is worth joining.

[Capn Sunshine]

34. So Cal?

I'm there.

[Renew Deal]

3. This is so freakin cool.

I am psyched. I am signed up as Harry in NY.

[Nashyra]

12. Just voted to meet up with people in Nevada

This is a great idea

[Renew Deal]

4. It is set as the same day as the Democratic Party meetup. Not Good

That needs to be changed.

[mandyky]

6. I vote for Saturdays at 3 PM

That way we can listen to the Guy James show while we are meeting up.

[Kolesar]

39. Is it Thursday the 19th? eom

[Renew Deal]

40. Yep

:shrug:

[Kolesar]

42. Thanks. Meetup just says "in 16 days", I don't know how they count

I wonder if the date could be changed now.

We could start a new Meetup theme called DU2, pick a different night.

5. I signed up under Lexington, KY

but I am from Richmond. Meetups in Lexington are useless for me. I don't have wheels. I am so bummed on each Dean MeetUp day because there is no way I can get there (in Lexington).

[Patriot_Spear]

10. Me too...

Alfredo who posts here lives in Winchester, you might drop him a note.

[TreasonousBastard]

7. I did...

and so did over 80 others around the country-- not a whole hell of a lot.

A while back I asked about Joisey DUers who signed up, and was met with astounding silence, and Meetup said there weren't enough for a meetup.

Today, there seems to be few interested, and there's even a couple of votes on meeting places.

Curiously, pool halls and Wendy's seem to be popular venues here.

8. I signed up in Pasadena, California

[VermontDem2004]

9. The nearest one to me is the Cheesecake factory in Chandler

[TSIAS]

11. I signed up in West Palm Beach

I believe you need 5 people to actually hold an official meetup. That's not saying you can't hold one independently if not enough people sign up.

[Jivenwail]

13. I signed up for Virginia Beach

But thus far, I'm the only one! Yikes!

Any more Hampton Road DU'ers out there....come on, would love to meet you!

(I am signed up as navyspouse03)

15. Hi, I just signed up for Va. Beach also.

My only good choice was Casablanca on the Blvd.
What location did you sign up for?

14. Damn there are four

DUer's signed up for Tulsa!

17. DU Bowling in Portland, OR!

That's one of the nominated venues, at least.

We can pretend the pins are the top 10 conservative idiots.

[poskonig]

18. I'm signed up for Chicago!

:bounce:

[IkeWarnedUs]

28. is that your vote for Chili's?

I haven't voted yet. It would be quite a ride for me that far south, but I would do it if we could get some folks together. Otherwise, would you be willing/able to come closer to the city?

[poskonig]

29. Actually, I voted for Orland Park

Oh wait, that *is* Chilis! :P

[camero]

19. How many are going to be in Palm Harbor, FL

It's on my brother's B-day. I don't know if I will make it yet.

[janekat]

37. Not to far though

I have a load of friends in Bloomington! My husband might be starting at State Farm in a couple of weeks. Commute.

[onecitizen]

21. WOW!!..........

this is so cool! How come we didn't think of it before? I signed up for Huntington, WV.

[VermontDem2004]

22. Damn all the nearest sites to me are far!!!!!!!!!

[Cheesehead]

23. I was surprised to find my town (Appleton, WI) on the list.

I sure do want to meet and network with fellow DU'ers here at home.

[RogueTrooper]

24. New York now has enough members for a meeting

[Speed8098]

30. I signed up for the Suffolk County NY Meetup but,

I'm the only one. Are there any other DU'ers that want to meetup at Applebees on Vets Highway in Bohemia??

[MGKrebs]

25. Burger King!!?? I think not.

The billiard hall sounds better. Except there is a Dem party meeting. Dang.

[Redleg]

27. I signed up for Cincinnati.

Hope to see some of you there, where ever the meetup is held.

[RogueTrooper]

31. Where are the Boston peeps

[Kathy in Cambridge]

43. Here...we just had a meeting on Saturday

I voted for Silvertone's because it's right near Park Street T Station and therefore accessible for those without cars.

[SiobhanClancy]
