Anyone else going to the Harkin Steak DInner?

[Peacetrain]

Just got it in the mail.. and Paul Begala is going to be speaking there.. I would love to hear him in person speak.. really really tempted to go.

1. I've never been.

We were going to try to go a couple years ago but couldn't find the time.

Now, I can't find the money.

If you do, give us a report!

2. That is my hesitation also..

30.00 a ticket and its over 4 hours away.. but we are giving it some serious thought.. if we go I will report back in..

3. Just heard Bernie Sanders will be there. I may change my mind

but it's a lousy meal, expensive and a long drive, so probably not.

4. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont at the Steak Fry "WHOOO HOOOO"

From Harkin e-mail

I am sending you a quick note to share an exciting update about the upcoming Steak Fry.
I am thrilled to announce that my friend Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont will be joining us at the 34th Annual Harkin Steak Fry. Back in December, Bernie's epic eight-hour Senate oration against extending the Bush tax cuts went viral on the Internet - and soon became the New York Times bestselling book "The Speech: A Historic Filibuster on Corporate Greed and the Decline of Our Middle Class."
While, he won't have time to reprise The Speech - you can count on Bernie to fire things up in short order!

See all y'all there.

5. I'll be there!

DD and I are going. I hope for a huge crowd, since the quitter from Wassilla will be at the same place this weekend.

6. Sarah? Are you kidding?

Good grief, that lady needs a new hobby.

Ken, you really botched things for Saturday. Please, for the sake of the Tea Party Movement, let someone else handle PR and organizing from now on and STFU!
