I'm on the road again, folks

[WilliamPitt]

Missoula, Montana (I don't know where specifically) and then Town Hall in Seattle on the 21st at 7:30. I will also be speaking at the anti-Bush rally on the 22nd. I hope like hell to see as many DUers as possible. Be back on Sunday. In the meantime, keep your heads down. It's a jungle out there.

[SiobhanClancy]

1. Have a great trip...

and be careful out there:)

[bicentennial_baby]

2. Have a great trip!

Have fun & stay hydrated! :hi:

[Ediacara]

3. Will I wish I could make it

I am so close, yet so far from Missoula. Unfortunately, I am getting married probably 24 hours following your Missoula appearance, and I can't just drive across the state when there are floors to be vacuumed :-(

Good luck, and come back to Big Sky Country!

[Ediacara]

5. to clarify..

it is not unfortunate I am getting married... if I were not so frazzled, I think I would feel overjoyed :-)

It is unfortunate that Will's schedulers didn't contact me first though :-)

[newsguyatl]

24. LOL

[never cry wolf]

4. Missoula huh??

Please stay out of small planes. GOOD LUCK!!

[Ediacara]

10. ya... what airline are you flying?

If you're flying Delta or Northwest you'll probably be on 737, any of the others will probably be small jet of prop planes. From Missoula to Seattle is almost certainly a Horizon flight, and probably on a small jet. Somehow I doubt the BFEE would sacrifice 40 other passengers for Will, but who knows...

[greatauntoftriplets]

6. I'll be in Seattle next month,

visiting god_bush_n_cheney.

[dorktv]

7. Watch out for strange men taking your beer!

[Ediacara]

14. stear clear of the red beer though

Horendous Montana concoction of tomato juice (or clamato!) and the cheapest beer possible, usually PBR. People say it makes it go down better, but I think it's rather revolting.

[Stephanie]

20. Red beer is considered suitable for breakfast

in Montana.

[dorktv]

21. Oh I was refering to an incident where

Pitt here was sitting with his back to a bar door and this guy who thought he was a friend came up behind him and grabbed his beer to take a drink and realized half way through he had the wrong guy's beer.

[THUNDER HANDS]

8. have fun

don't forget your umbrella!

:)

[Andy_Stephenson]

15. Its sunny and warm...

Best time of the year to come! Hey Will...you gonna let me buy you a brew or what?

[Andy_Stephenson]

34. His silence must equal a no n/t

[greatauntoftriplets]

37. Well....

I'll have a brew with you then.

[Andy_Stephenson]

41. Awesome!

I'll even drink one with you!

[greatauntoftriplets]

43. Okay,

I'll bring Kleenex for you.

[Sperk]

9. we're all with you in spirit. speaking of spirits....

remember, everything in moderation. :-)

[Crewleader]

11. Stay safe friend

check your e-mail....:hi:

[SweetZombieJesus]

12. Safe trip, etc.

Watch out for other drivers, Montana doesn't have a speed limit or open container laws.

[Ediacara]

16. Montana does have a speed limit

it's 75 on the interstate, except in urban or extreme terrain areas. Missoula is urban and it's 65 there. Also, open container laws although technically lacking in the state, are present in every single city in the state, although a lot of people do drink while driving..

[havocmom]

35. And the traffic fatalities have increased since the speed limit

was put into law.

Hope Will brings rain, as the Missoula area seems to be pretty well on fire.

Sorry to be so far away and missing the speach. Hope GB&C makes it and gives us a report. If MT wasn't such a big place, maybe we could all have a DU Meetup here too! Think there are 2 or 3 MT ex-pats who would like to visit us all.

[Stephanie]

13. If you get the Missoula venue info, please post

I'll send my Dad. He just went to a Dean Meet-Up. He's getting fired up.

[Stephanie]

18. p.s. - For breakfast in Missoula

you want to go to The Shack.

[Ediacara]

26. YES

[Generic Other]

17. Where is the anti-Bush rally in Seattle?

I have been waiting to hear!

** TAKE THE DAY(S) OFF - TAKE BUSH ON ! August 22 / 23 **

His reign has been a nightmare:

Unprovoked invasion and illegal occupation of Iraq
Lies about weapons of mass destruction
Massive budget deficits
Stolen election
Tax cuts for the rich
Growing unemployment
Cronyism & corporate crime & corruption at all-time highs
International law flouted
International treaties abandoned
U.S. Bill of Rights subverted
Unions busted
Gay rights challenged
Environmental laws and regulations gutted
Citizen rights trampled on
War on women and the poor
Immigrants treated cruelly and unjustly

While Bush and his supporters enjoy their $2000 a plate meal in an
isolated wealthy enclave, concerned people of Washington will be
exercising their constitutional rights in true Northwest fashion.

[Coffee Coyote]

42. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

On the road again:
Just can't wait to get on the road again.
The life I love is makin' music with my friends,
And I can't wait to get on the road again.

On the road again:
Goin' places that I've never been.
Seein' things that I may never see again,
And I can't wait to get on the road again.

On the road again,
Like a band of gypsies, we go down the highway.
We're the best of friends,
Insisting that the world be turnin' our way,
And our way:

Is on the road again:
Just can't wait to get on the road again.
The life I love is makin' music with my friends,
And I can't wait to get on the road again.

On the road again,
Like a band of gypsies, we go down the highway.
We're the best of friends,
Insisting that the world be turnin' our way,
And our way:

Is on the road again:
Just can't wait to get on the road again.
The life I love is makin' music with my friends,
And I can't wait to get on the road again.

And I can't wait to get on the road again.
