Thank you to the DUers who attended our meetup tonight

[proud2BlibKansan]

And the ones who weren't there missed out on a great evening.

Pictures will be posted as soon as I figure out how to post them.

1. I had a really good time. And, we had quite the turnout.

[proud2BlibKansan]

4. We are nearly doubling our attendance every month

That is so awesome.

You and Scratch and I are going to look back one day and remember when it was only the three of us and get nostalgic.

[MuseRider]

14. You and your girlfriend

are the best! Thanks for riding with me and directing me through the funny streets of KC. :loveya:

[mwdem]

16. Great meeting you!

Now, next time, I have to get to know you better. You & your girlfriend are too cute! We really had a nice time & hope to see you next month.

[ComerPerro]

22. Unfortuately, we were at opposite ends of the table

So I didn't really get to meet you and your husband.

But Muse was telling me that you and your husband were nice and fun to talk to.

Next time we will have to switch ends or something, to mix it up. I enjoyed meeting and talking with the people I was sitting by, but I didn't get to meet the other end of the table.

Or, maybe I will just make sure I get one of the middle seats :evilgrin:

[Mabus]

25. I'm so glad to put a face with the name

and I liked your girlfriend too. I'm still chuckling about the brownie and its unadvertised nuts. I hate when that happens. It was a "Larry David/Curb Your Enthusiasm" moment. If you haven't seen CYE you should rent it.

I hope to see you two at Drinking Liberally some time. As I said, we usually break-up around 9:45 so we can go home and watch the Daily Show.

[mwdem]

2. It was great meeting you all.

I had a great time. Now, I need to get to know the "other end of the table"!

[proud2BlibKansan]

5. I am so glad you came

Let's do it again next month. You can sit at the other end of the table, we will let you :)

[MuseRider]

13. It was great

to meet you and your husband. I am glad you both came. He cracks me up, tell him hello and to start posting. I think he would like it here.

[mwdem]

15. I think he'll have more time for that!

He's been very active in writing letters to newspapers all over, and he's been published more than once! He really enjoyed the evening...I think it was just what he needed. Hey, let me know when you're out our way, we can meet for lunch. You can pm me any time!:hi: (these smileys can really get on one's nerves).

Damn! I guess TinyPics won't post directly here. I signed up for PhotoBucket. If I can't figure that out, I will email the pics to Muse.

[proud2BlibKansan]

18. Okay how about this

tinypic.com/view.html?pic=4k7gqw

oops, sorry no workee

[MuseRider]

6. HI!

It was WONDERFUL! Thanks to you for organizing it. I had a great time, just got home a few minutes ago, talked my husbands ear off about it and now I am in my usual spot, in front of the TV burning my thigh with the lap top on DU.

If you have problems with the pictures send them to me and I will put them up for you.

:hi:

[proud2BlibKansan]

7. PM me

your email address.

And take care of that thigh. :)

[greymattermom]

8. yep

It was great, except I ate a too big burger. I'm remember I'm getting too old for the big one next time. It's mini market for me from now on.

[scratchtasia]

19. I almost always get the Mini Market

"Mini" doesn't do it justice--it's plenty!

[proud2BlibKansan]

21. I am so glad you came

I am sorry I didn't get much of a chance to talk to you. We will have to hook up next meeting.

[greymattermom]

9. my daughter's political art

[MuseRider]

11. It was great to meet you

I only wish I had talked to you more. Next time I will sit close so I can get to know you.

Your daughter is very talented, very nice. Thanks for sharing that.

[scratchtasia]

20. That's fantastic

Your daughter is really talented!

[proud2BlibKansan]

36. Wow

That is awesome.

[put out]

10. And thank you ever so much

for being so welcoming, all of you. I had fun. And you all are as funny and smart as I thought you would be. I didn't get to talk with everyone there, and I hope to next time. Until then...

Kim

[MuseRider]

12. I really enjoyed talking to you.

I am glad I got to attend this time. So good to meet you.

[proud2BlibKansan]

34. Hey like I told you

The nurse is always my best buddy!!

[atommom]

17. I'm green with envy.

But I'm up tonight with a sick child, so it was best that we didn't come. I'll spare you the details, but .... they're not pretty.

Looking forward to meeting you all next month! I'm happy to hear there are so many of us!

[proud2BlibKansan]

35. Yes we were sorry you couldn't come

Muse will post the pictures.

We had a great time. I am so pleased at how our little group grows every month. We are going to meet at the same place again in May and then maybe have some picnics this summer. We will keep you posted.

[atommom]

38. Sounds great! I'll be looking forward to meeting everyone.

For the moment, though, I'm going to bed! I've had a long, icky day. :boring:

[catmandu57]

23. We've got more month than money

So, we're staying close to home, it sounds like everyone had a good time, if there aren't any nasty suprises pop up we'll come down next month.

[Mabus]

24. That was fun! Here's some links

We had a great time. I'm so glad we went. There is always something so satisfying about meeting the people behind the keyboard. And, someday, MuseRider and I will figure out where she has seen me.

Also, if people want to meet in Lawrence sometime, I'd suggest doing it on Drinking Liberally night (Tuesday). We just need to decide which Tuesday we can all go, although everyone would be welcomed any Tuesday night. Right now, we've got between 10 -15 people showing up on a regular basis. The information and links for Drinking Liberally is at the bottom. You'll need to go to the DL website for local contact information. You can sign up for the mailing list which, at least here in Lawrence, is only used once a week as a reminder for that week's event. So you don't get flooded by e-mail on a daily basis.

If anyone is looking for something to do tomorrow night (Friday, 4/22) there is a DFA meetup scheduled at Free State at 7 p.m. It will basically be a planning and get to know each other meeting. We've got six hardcore members with various interests. I hope some of you will be able to join us.

[Mabus]

[greymattermom]

27. tuesday

You may not believe this, but I am a clogger and our group rehearses Tuesday nights. I'd love to drink liberally sometime though.

[ComerPerro]

28. hi

:hi:

It was great meeting you last night.

[MuseRider]

29. Will you give lessons?

I have always wanted to learn how to clog. I am so strong but so pitifully out of shape that I would last about a minute then collapse on the floor in a heap but still, I think that would be a blast!

[greymattermom]

33. lessons are easy

John Hardin, our clog master, gives them through Johnson County Parks and Recs. Tuesday nights at Roeland Park Community Center. He's a master teacher. If you can walk, you can learn to clog. I did.

[Mabus]

30. You should come to Tax Day in Lawrence

When the Alfred Packer band starts playing the cloggers are out in force.

This year's Tax Day in Lawrence was recently featured on "CBS Sunday Morning." Our ex-mayor, Mike Rundle, did his annual solo clogging on national TV. They also talked about the Roadkill Stew, this year it was bbq'ed ground hog (the rule is, "get to the roadkill before the flies do.")

[catmandu57]

32. Damn your soul Alfred Packer

They was thirteen democrats in this county and you et seven of them.
The judge sentencing Alfred Packer.

[proud2BlibKansan]

37. Het cat

Sorry you couldn't make it last night. Hope you can come next time. The place is lower brow than where we met last month and the food is lots less expensive. It's more of a Democrat hang out. They don't even take credit cards. :)
