Thanks Taverner! Re: Meet-Up today in Berkeley.

Had a great time and it was wonderful to be able to meet other DU'ers.
Unfortunately I was not able to be able to meet all the folks at the other end of the table (s) - but perhaps we can all set another meet-up date again in the next couple of months.

4. Thanks Proud Patriot

It was such a relief to finally be able to sit down and talk about this BushCo crap without seeing faces 'glaze over'. Since you're in Concord (?) - let's get together for coffee sometime.
Good to meet you too.

14. I'm in the same camp, I missed most of the gang too

My life was so scattered that day, but as they say "When all you got is lemons, make lemonade" and it turned out pretty damn interesting.

Before I rendezvoused with you guys down the road I grabbed a great burger and pint at the Triple Rock and carrried on a fantastic conversation with a neat old man doing the same. Our conversation carried us all over the world talking current events and such - China, Venezuela, Cuba, Iraq, Iran...on and on...Cripes, I actually had to ask him at one point if he was a DUer because he was so well informed. Economics, trade, politics, history - he knew it all, and I'm getting a world class education all for the fare of a burger and a pint. Conversation finally turned to Israel and he mentioned his recent trip there to visit his son, the journalist. I asked who, anything I might have read written by him... Turns out his son is a staff writer for the WSJ heading up the Israel bureau, Karby Leggett. Hey, chance encounters that fun can only happen in Berkeley.

Even if I missed the main event at the Triple Rock, I had a great time at the second act. And as Al Sharpton says, "It's all good!" ;)

Thanks, Taverner, for making it all happen, I'll make an effort to meet you and the rest of the gang on the rebound.

19. I am pissed I missed this...

I had some periodontal surgery done a few days before and thought I'd be just fine by Saturday.... NOT.

It sounds like there were a lot of new faces there -- I'm sorry I didn't get to meet you guys, and a pisser I missed my old DU buds.

I am still hoping for something later in the summer -- maybe a picnic, a camping trip, or a Tahoe rental.

Glad to see everyone had a great time! :hi:

[proud patriot]

20. I hope your mouth is feeling better Hell Hath No Fury
