Once again, the MN DUers have a great gathering!

[Lydia Leftcoast]

We assembled at Nye's Polonaise, that venerable Minneapolis institution (founded 1941, according to one of the waitresses) and feasted on Polish delicacies while solving the problems of the world.

Present were Eyepaddle, bvar22, Lydia Leftcoast, ocelot, Demon Fighter Lives and Mrs. Fighter Lives, DFLForever, Paulie Dangerously, norainu, Enufalready and Mr. Already, indigo32, dpbrown, katinmn, and Supormom. (I hope I didn't leave anybody out.)

Bvar22 took pictures, which I suppose will be posted soon.

We even convinced one of our excellent unionized waitresses to take a look at DU. She said that we provided balance against the group of Republicans who have a monthly meeting at Nye's.

We all agreed that we must have another gathering soon.

:hi:

1. Sorry I missed it

I have a nasty cold and by the time I decided I didn't have the energy to drag myself downtown, it was too late to let anyone know.

[Supormom]

4. We missed having you there tonight.

Hopefully, we'll get together again soon.

[dpbrown]

22. We did indeed!

Hope you're all recovered for the next round.

2. Wonderful!!

Oh lets do one here in L.A., anybody?? I'm inspired! I went to one at the Viva restaurant once and it was really FUN.

[Supormom]

3. It was great as usual!

Thanks so much to Bvar22 for making the arrangements. I think the waitresses were happy to have a group of crazy liberals drop in! (Apparently, the republicans don't tip very well.)

Photographic PROOF that the Government uses invisible Mind Probe Rays.
Only the special polarizing filter on my camera was able to pick them up.

DPBrown was the first to attrack the librul seeking rays





Unfortunately, none of us were wearing our tin foil hats.
The Govmint will know of all our evil plots.

8. Lovely group!

Great job on the pics BVAR. Mnfats is thin! What's up with that?! ;)

[katinmn]

10. LOL!

Supormom - I'm glad you look bemused rather than scared at my wild gesturing. What WAS I talking about?? I'll blame it on the floating mind probe rays.

Anyhow, it was a great time. And the sauerkraut and beets were the best I ever ate.

[eyepaddle]

14. Hey Hey!

Checking in--I had a great time, it was nice to meet some other DU'ers. However I think we should give the public what we know they want--more face time for eyepaddle! ;)

[trotcop]

15. YIKES!

They actually let you guys walk the streets?

Just kidding. Party on. :party:

[Lydia Leftcoast]

16. Wow, Minnesota must be cool if people from other states

drop by to check us out. :-)

[MnFats]

6. hey, I was there for all of, oh, 20 minutes....

...as evidenced by the pic below.
...my daughter was making dinner.
...but i had to drop by and touch base.
...was good to see everyone.
...we ought to begin planning a spring offensive against the BFEE. Maybe next time....

[mzmolly]

7. So very glad you had a great time. Someday I actually hope to attend!

:hi:

[Supormom]

19. Good Golly, Mz Molly! You'd better!

I know, I know. You've heard it a thousand times.
:spank:

[mzmolly]

20. LOL. I thought about changing my user name to MzThang.

But, people love to say "Good Golly Mz Molly!" so I feel I'd be cheating the membership. :P

:hi:

[hermetic]

9. That was one great time!

And Bvar, those rays, I'm thinking maybe those were just manifestations of all our good vibes. Can't wait to meet up again.

[Alisa]

11. I'm sorry, I missed it too!

Please, let's get together again and soon. I had really wanted to meet you all but last minute conflicts came up that I wasn't able to work around. The photo's are great and I bet Nye's was perfect too. If the Repub's are meeting monthly well, shouldn't be yang their yin or is it yin their yang...

;-)

[DemonFighterLives]

12. Checking in

Great time, but I dropped my foil shield when bvar took the pics. Argh! Terrible pic. Interesting to talk to intellectuals and compare notes. :7

13. Minnesota, once again, preparing to export all we do BEST!

An excellent time...great to meet the new folks, great to see the OLD folks! ;)

[Demrock6]

17. I missed it as well. Next time.

[no name no slogan]

18. You guys ROCK!!!

Sorry I missed this one-- I'm a little under the weather myself, with the "holiday flu". Looks like it was another winning gathering!

:toast:

21. I hope to make it to one of these
