Brainstorm thread: Subject - July MeetUp at BluesFest

[Viva_La_Revolution]

Okay guys, we need a plan.

I want to spread a blanket near the Beer Garden where we can come and go through-out the Afternoon and Evening.

So far, I haven't been able to find a map of the booths/stages/beer garden.

Is it usually set up the same every year?

Oh yes, Entertainment....

This 2006 festival will celebrate the music of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. :)

1. Kickin back to the top

[Trajan]

2. I am a Newbie ......

So I have NO idea what happens at the Blues Fest; but I promise I will be there ....

KICK it up again .....

[Reader Rabbit]

3. I'm going to call Wyden's office and invite him

Do we have anything to identify our party? And if so, what time should I tell him to come? It's probably unlikely that he can make it, particularly on such short notice, but...

[swag]

4. Sad to say I can't make it. Relatives in town.

Have a good time.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

5. I CAN'T GO!!!

LIFE SUCKS!!

I hope you guys can still make it. I have to go cry now. :(

[0rganism]

6. Doesn't look like I can make it either *grumbles*

Maybe I'll see you all at the fireworks on Tuesday? (Yeah, in a crowd of 30000 people...)
