DU Meet Up?

[Gonzo Gardener]

Pick...

[IndianaJones]

1. Chicago. nt.

[BrklynLiberal]

25. That was my first thought too..since it is Central, and has lots of access via transport.

But..just don't make it in the Winter...:scared: <- freeeezing

[From The Ashes]

2. anything in July or August...

I'm planning on being in Ohio sometime this summer.

[Blue-Jay]

3. I'll be at the Green Festival anyhow.

So.... that one.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. My dear Green Meanie!

For now I like the national meet-up idea the best!

But this is not fixed in stone...

I'm flexible!

:bounce: :bounce:

[Gonzo Gardener]

[MissHoneychurch]

9. If there will be something like a national Meet-up

I would come over from Germany.

[Gonzo Gardener]

20. International meet-up?!

That would be something...

If I may ask, FräuleinHonigKirche, where are you located...approximately?

I have a few dear friends near Frankfurt, the Bürgermeister of Königstein, Andechs, and family close to Freiberg, in Eichstetten.

I'm ready for another visit, but it may be summer 2009 before I get back.

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

48. I live directly in Frankfurt

:hi:

There were a couple of International DU meet-ups with either me or billyskank attending. Or both of us :)

Now if I could meet at a come-together a bunch new DUers I would love it.

[Gonzo Gardener]

50. Come on...

We'll put you up at the cottage during the TC Film Fest.

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

52. TC Film Fest?

:hi:

[Gonzo Gardener]

53. Yes ma'am!

http://traversecityfilmfest.org/ :D

[MissHoneychurch]

54. Oh!!!

that sounds interesting!

[krispos42]

10. Skinner's place

I figure with the combined power of Google Ads and GrovelBot he's sitting pretty. Ribs, steaks, top-shelf booze, Sammys and Coronas, bocci ball, softball, Moon Bounce, watergun fights, etc. Maybe a paintball war on his back forty. big bonfire with s'mores. I'll bring my Mexican dip and my secret sweet-salty snack that is addictively good.

No clowns, though.

:-)

[Connonym]

11. Ok, I really, really, really wanna go -- who wants to room with me?

I'm going to be doing this on the cheap. Warning, I do snore a little bit but I'm able to shower and be ready to go in under 10 minutes.

[EstimatedProphet]

17. You can room with us

[Gonzo Gardener]

39. The bunkroom sleeps 6...

or 8. There are 4 twin beds, 1 large futon (big enough for 2), and 2 cots that can be set up.

:pals: We gotcha covered!

There is a shower for you, but I bathe in the lake...

[meegbear]

12. BOSTON!

BOSTON! BOSTON! BOSTON! BOSTON! BOSTON! BOSTON! BOSTON! BOSTON!

[sniffa]

13. how could we possibly top the greatest meetup evah?

[Gonzo Gardener]

58. Help a n00b out... details, please!!! :-)

What is this "greatest meetup evah" that you speak about?

[yvr girl]

59. which oddly enough coincided with my worst hangover evah

So much fun though.

There might be some drunkel posting though.

[hisownpetard]

16. I'll second that!

[DS1]

18. Yes.

[BarenakedLady]

21. I could do Boston

Well not ALL of Boston, geesh.

[meegbear]

23. I'm gay, so you can take me off the list ...

:hide:

[BarenakedLady]

27. Party pooper!

;)

[Inchworm]

26. Thats it - add me to that list

I'm umm.. moving there.. honest!

Flirt- Flirt- Flirt :loveya:

Good Afternoon BNL

:hi:

[BarenakedLady]

28. Afternoon

:hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

30. Ayup

:thumbsup:

[SarahB]

33. Word

:thumbsup:

[SallyMander]

34. Actually i'll be in Boston at the end of Aug

so that might work too!

:hi:

[RebelOne]

14. Anyone in the Atlanta area want to have a meetup here?

http://www.rightwingtavern.com/www/

This place just opened up in my neighborhood in Woodstock, GA. I think it would be sort of fun for a bunch of Dems to invade the place.

[stuntcat]

35. That place must be a blast

All the menu items have political names, and the site plays fightin' songs.. woohoo FUN TIMES :party:

I bet they just throw vegetarians out without serving them anything :cry:

[RebelOne]

45. They'd probably throw me out because I'm a vegetarian and a Democrat. n/t

[Tyler Durden]

15. Traverse City is DA BOMB, but I'm working on the commune.

Details, details.

[Gonzo Gardener]

31. If only...

Can you milk a goat?!

...50 acres near Cedar with a woodshop, an orchard, several goats, and a greenhouse to grow organic herbs & veggies. I would make goat cheeses, jams, hard cider, and work in the woodshop all winter...

I can dream, can't I?!

[Tyler Durden]

43. Send me the MLS if it's for sale.

We are DEFINITELY in the market, and that's inside the area D would like.

Yes, I can milk a goat, a cow, ride a horse and drive a tractor, along with my engineering background.

Have MANY tools, want to locate.

[Gonzo Gardener]

44. That's my fantasy listing...

it exists only in my mind. Short of finding a group that wants to commune, I have my eye on a little town called Empire. Mr.Green Meanie and I would happily retire there.

[Tyler Durden]

47. Keep watching...

And 10 acres with hydroponics/greenhousing making 2-3 crop cycles a year, you're talking about a commune membership load of maybe 20-25 without straining the system.

I did the math for this back in 1971-2 as projects for college courses. Wish I'd KEPT the damn things.

[jakefrep]

19. I'm all for a national meet-up

What about Denver for the Convention?

[edbermac]

24. Bill O'Reilly's house.

We'll all bring loofahs and falafel.

[momophile]

29. I know that Denver got shot down, but...

there still must be some of you coming here for the convention in August. Let's keep in touch so we can have a meetup then. And maybe some of us locals can help find some of you beds.

[Gonzo Gardener]

55. Looks like quite a few people...

want to DU a meet-up in Denver. That's a very generous offer to help find beds for 'out-of-towners'. Start a thread... more people are likely to see it, momophile!

:pals:

:hi:

[SallyMander]

32. Ohio! Camper Jamboree!

How can that not be fun??? :D

Plus, i live here, and i'm probably too broke to go elsewhere (esp with the wedding coming up in Sept...!)


:hi:

:hug:

[Gonzo Gardener]

37. Ok, but...

I'm NOT singing Kumbaya and forget about the Boy Scout's 'Ten Knots You Should Learn to Tie' seminar, k?

:rofl:

Cal-Peg, From the Ashes, and Retro have all checked in for an Ohio in July/Aug meet-up... not sure they had a Camping Jamboree in mind though.

I will have to get back with you on dates... tentatively July 11-12 or 18-19 look open and August 8-9 or maybe (will need to check school schedule) August 15-16.

It would be great if you and the REAL MrMander could join us in TC!

:hug:

[SallyMander]

38. Aww, not even one Kumbaya go-round?

:rofl:

Of the dates you mentioned, August would be better for me, or the later July dates. I'll be teaching a first-term summer class that is 5 days a week through 7/18. After that i am free as a bird until mid-Sept! :D

[Gonzo Gardener]

41. I'm not singing!

but... I'll make s'mores!:9

[SallyMander]

42. Then i will EAT your s'mores!

And that might stop me from singing! :rofl:


Hey, you just hit 600 posts! :yourock:

:toast:

[LynneSin]

49. D'uh: DENVER

I'm going to the convention this year baby!!

[Catchawave]

57. Netroots Nation meets in Austin, Tx July 17-20

A few of us are already planning to go.
