Austin DU Brunch over the holidays?

[NoPasaran]

I thought we could start discussing this early so a lot of people can say they're coming and pull out at the last minute.

Anyway, I was raised by wolves, so I'm not leaving town. How about everybody else?

[GOPisEvil]

1. Except for Christmas Day itself, I will be in town as well.

Brunch is a fantastic idea. Except not this Sunday, another of my friends is moving. :eyes:

[sonias]

2. We'll be in town too

If GOPisEvil can't make it this Sunday how about the 26th?

Wolves are good creatures. The Alaskan wolf is being targeted with aerial hunting. What sports huh?

I feel a great connection to wolves. Your wolf family did a good job raising you. Look how crafty, intelligent and self sufficient you are.

I'm pro-wolf and I vote.

[GOPisEvil]

11. so, Sunday 12/26, 10:00?

sorry, I was not raised by wolves . . . I'm just dense.

[NoPasaran]

12. Yes

Rowwwwoooo!

[GOPisEvil]

13. VelmaD is blowing us off.

Apparently, she was not raised by wolves, and will be visiting her non-canine family.

[sonias]

14. Hey nothing wrong with visiting the family

You know you're going to do it too GOPisEvil. Your trip is just a short trip, where VelmaD has to go over the hills and through the woods. I visited my family at Thanksgiving. We're just blowing off Chicago this year. We saw that half of the family at a wedding in Sept. So for once I want to just stay home and celebrate right here in Austin.

Wolves sometimes gather in smaller packs. The food supply in Austin is nice and tasty.

[GOPisEvil]

22. Cool!

Alton rules! :thumbsup:

[Lithos]

23. Alton is very good

I've learned more from his shows than almost everyone else combined. He's got a knack for explaining why things work like they do.

26. You Austin folks missed out!

ANOTHER yummy brunch. We had some new faces, too! It was good to see Ashling and his daughter! It was nice meeting Lithos' wife and Lithos, too.

No excuses next time!

[sonias]

27. Yes we had a great little turnout, even on boxing day

Nice to meet everyone. Yes Virginia, there are good Democrats in your little state too.

For those of you who missed out, plan on stopping by for a bit on New Year's Eve if you can. GOPisEvil is hosting a party.
