ralps & I started discussing having a Midwestern DU Meet Up |
|
If anyone has any ideas please post them. Maybe we can have in Sept. or Oct. in some central location. Perhaps a meeting for those who cannot make it to the DC March in Sept. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=186&topic_id=10348&mesg_id=10348How about it Iowa EvilDUers?

1. There was some talk of a Iowa DU Meetup |
|
but it never took hold. People suggested Cedar Rapids/Iowa City area. If we extended to a Midwestern DU meetup, the Quad Cities, Dubuque, Madison would be options.
I live in Central Iowa and would love to meet other people from DU. Not sure if I could make a weekend out of it, put could attend for an afternoon or evening if it isn't too far away.

6. Well, for obvious reasons, the QC sounds good to me |
|
But it may depend on what part of the midwest you are talking about. Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin? Then a central point may be the IC Cedar Rapids area. As you probably know, it is a progressive area with about a million bars. In fact, when I went to Bluesmore a few weeks ago, I saw a Code Pink woman there. Must say, she was pretty in pink. Oops, none of that here. But anyway, some kind of meetup would be a good thing, if everybody can finally agree on a date and location. Count me in, tentatively.
