anyone else going to the MoveOn house parties on Sunday?

[arcane1]

from MoveOn:

Right now, there are 2,123 parties planned.

On the evening of December 7th, 2003, thousands of people around the country will gather to watch and discuss the new documentary Uncovered: The Whole Truth about the Iraq War. Together, we'll strengthen the MoveOn community, get the truth out, and raise some money to make sure that people in key battleground states know the real story about how we went to war.

-----------------------------------

hell even my hometown of Richmond, VA, is having not one but TWO (last time I checked)

There's a big one in Oakland that I'll be attending (filled up now) but it looks like there will be one pretty much everywhere

spread that word, DUers!!

:party:

1. I was going to go

but I have to work. :-(

[pmbryant]

2. Seriously considering this

There appear to be several in the San Antonio area, though the one closest to me has already filled up apparently. :thumbsup:

It'll depend on how my S.O. feels that night. She is travelling a lot lately, and is flying out of town again on Monday morning. I really want to go, though, so I may just have to do it myself if she can't make it. (Hmmmm.... the night before she goes away for a week? Maybe I'd better think twice about going without her.)

6. Depends on whether

you want her to talk to you or not when she gets back. ;-)

[pmbryant]

7. My thinking precisely. ;-)

Hopefully I can talk her into it. She's into politics, too, after all. Just not on a day-to-day obsessive basis like I am.

:crazy:

[pmbryant]

24. Well, that was easy

We're officially going! And trying to bring another couple along with us.

There were several parties in my area already full!

[arcane1]

9. that's great news!

:bounce:

[Punkingal]

4. Yep....

I'm going to one here in Vegas. There was only one listed, so I hope I signed up in time.

[geniph]

5. Yes, JohnYawl and I are going

to one in Kent, Washington. There are TONS of them in the Seattle Metro area! :D

[arcane1]

8. shameless kick

:kick:


I would LOVE to hope for some momentum after this!!!

:bounce:

[sleipnir]

10. NO!!! I CAN'T, but not because I don't want to...

They're all full, all like 20 of em...screw this, I wish I had known earlier...maybe I'll just crash one...humm....:evilgrin:

[prolesunited]

12. Can you or any one you know

pull another one together? Is there still time?

[sleipnir]

18. Highly unlikely...I'll see...

Damn it...if only

[pmbryant]

19. I think it's too late

Earlier today (yesterday, actually, as it's now Thursday here), I saw a note on the MoveOn web page about this that they don't have time to send out new copies of the documentary to new hosts, so they can only accept new hosts who already have a copy.

But that's just what I read.

:shrug:

EDIT: Here's it is, straight from the link in arcane1's orignal post: Host a party. (Choose this option only if you already have a copy -- we will not be able to send new hosts a copy of Uncovered in time for the Sunday parties.)

[prolesunited]

20. Anybody else going?

I think the meet-ups and house parties are such a cool idea — funneling the virtual connections on the Internet into real-world action.

[prolesunited]

22. Just a kick!

It's this weekend. Who else is going?

:kick:

[Whitacre D_WI]

23. Wauwatosa, WI.

Any other Milwaukee-area DUers gonna be there?

[prolesunited]

25. I think we have other Wisconsin DUers

But I don't remember where or who they are. Let us know how your event turns out. Have fun! :hi:

26. I'm going to one in Encino (in the Valley)

because I'm going to be there for an afternoon Christmas party (otherwise, I'd go to one here in West L.A. which is where I live). I'm looking VERY forward to it as I'm going to volunteer a reasonable amount of my time next year for the election. I contacted George Soros' office in New York when I first heard that he was donating money to get * out. Their advice was to get involved with moveon.org. I was chatting in the break room at work this week and one of my co-workers is going to one in Laguna - I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!! This may be our salvation folks - bring it on!!!!!!!!!!

27. Going to one in Denver area

There's one in the area that is supposed to be expecting 450 people! It might be the largest one in the country.

The one I'm going to is small, and I'm looking forward to the opportunity to get to know some new people.

Sure glad it was posted here!

[DeaconBlues]

29. My wife and I are going to one in Lincoln, Nebraska

Currently a hundred people are signed up to attend. That's a lot of anti-Bushies for Nebraska!

[arcane1]

30. sweet!

let us all HOPE for a nice, beautiful WAVE to come from this!!!! Word will spread after all these people have gathered for this movie, and I personally am hoping for a FLOOD!!!

:bounce:

:party:

:toast:

[latebloomer]

31. Guiltily, probably not

although there are 2 scheduled in my smallish town.

But, you see, it's been blizzarding here, and I doubt I'll want to stir my lazy stumps tomorrow night when I could be lying in a warm dry bed watching "Angels in America". . .

Community-building will have to wait. . .
