21. Welcome Inspire1

I missed meeting you this weekend because they wouldn't take "No, I am not working today" as an answer.

Perhaps next time. In the meantime, I hope you can help to keep these boys in line by holding their future bar tabs as collateral for good behavior!

In all seriousness, welcome home. You're going to love it here!

Welcome:hi:

[Inspire1]

37. To Matcom and Possie

Thank you all for the warm welcome into the cyber world of liberal thought. I was delighted when you all walked into my bar the other night!!

I recently left my sales job and went back to law school to become a civil rights attorney and I am inspired that such a committed and progressive group exists to foster dialogue about these important issues!

Just a few things:

1) I am not the blonde...

2) I'll take passion over tips any day, but for the record, Matcom wasn't a bad tipper -- which I appreciate as a broke grad student.

3) Zuni: I can barely figure out this website, so no pics. Also, I am engaged, but I admire your zealous disregard of feminism in a liberal lounge...it is endearing...kind of like the bull riding champion of the country that came into my bar the other night (true story!).

4) Bertha: I am from Virginia and would totally visit MD if I wasn't about to start my final exams.

5) Abelman: I see.

For Bostonians: I also work at Wally's Jazz Cafe on Fridays. Wally's is the ONLY real jazz bar in this city. Come check it out on my night or any night. It is an African-American owned family business since 1943 and some of the most real wonderful people you will ever meet.

Finally, the rally that I hosted last night in Jamaica Plain was a great success and created a ton of dialogue about the USA PATRIOT ACT. Isn't democracy wonderful?!

"If we make the right choice, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our world into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. If we make the right choice, we will be able to speed up the day, all over America and all over the world, when justice will roll down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream."
--Martin Luther King Jr. from his "Beyond Vietnam" speech April 4, 1967

38. Nicely done, E ! Nicely done, Indeed! (stands up and....)

:applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :popcorn:

[Bossy Monkey]

39. Welcome & congrats on the rally.

For my part, I'm normally 1,000 miles away from Boston, but girlfriend & I are slated to come north for best friend's wedding in September in Vermont, so Wally's is actually a high probability. (I have a brother and sister in Somerville & Brookline respectively, and the brother is a mad jazz fiend.)

Best of luck in law school. We need more like you.

[WindRavenX]

40. welcome!

I was the short chick in the pink blazer! :hi:

[Inspire1]

43. I remember you...

I remember you...but because of your unfortunate affiliation with the Yankees...who we all know...suck.

[Inspire1]

44. but...

Did I mention that the RED SOX WON the WORLD SERIES? Sorry.

[WindRavenX]

46. Never happened

DENIAL!! LALALALAL :D

41. I may or may not have been a bad tipper

I'm a broke student, too :D

[BikeWriter]

42. Welcome aboard, Lady! Any Friend of these guys is okay with us!

48. it was a joke

47. Welcome to DU, Inspire1!!!

Looking forward to you posts, Erika.

Cheers -- :toast:

[Mrs_Beastman]

50. Hi Erika!

[JanMichael]

51. They better have tipped you well!

Is that why you joined DU? To stalk to non-tippers???

btw--recipe for Matcom's favorite drink: Get a pint glass, put three ice cubes in. Fill with vodka. Garnish with straw.
