This Saturday is the first of the month.

[Reader Rabbit]

Will we be meeting? If so, where?

After Edwards' announcement yesterday, I know both Viva and I are desperate for a drink!

[Viva_La_Revolution]

1. did we ever decide about trying for 2nd Saturdays?

Not that I'm at all opposed to this Saturday :)

We do so need this. :hug:

[Trajan]

2. Snowy Saturday ....

Well .... It's snowing (lightly) here in Hillsdale neighborhood ....

Im still game though .... Maybe something quick and easy ? .....

[Reader Rabbit]

3. Shall we give this Saturday a shot?

If so, where? A golden oldie, like Lucky Lab or Goose Hollow? Or something new, like the Green Dragon Ale House?

Speak up, folks!

[FreedRadical]

4. I'd be up for this weekend...

It'll give me a chance to celebrate the new job I'll be starting monday. :-)


You name the time and place, and I'll be there. :toast:

[Reader Rabbit]

5. Yay! That's one!

C'mon folks, speak up! Anyone? Anyone?

Bueller?

[Viva_La_Revolution]

6. How bout Lucky Lab?

They have a new ale made with solar power. :)

[Reader Rabbit]

7. Sounds good.

If it's a solar-powered ale, does that mean it will provide us with Vitamin D and counteract Seasonal-Affective-Disorder?

:P

[Viva_La_Revolution]

10. I hope so!

between Edwards dropping out, no work and no sunshine... I'm feeling it. :(

[Uncle Sinister]

8. only in Portland....and I'm sure the brewery is Leed certified.

If a newbie's welcome, what time ya getting together? I've got a commitment until about 5pm free after that. Love to kick politics over a beer with some of the folk from here.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

9. Welcome!

We meet at 4, but usually hang for several hours. I think the earliest we broke it up was about 8pm. Not unusual to be there till 9 or 10.
We're party animals! :rofl:

:hi:

[Uncle Sinister]

11. grrrrroof!

[Reader Rabbit]

12. New peeps! Whoo hoo!

[Trajan]

13. HEY ! ....

I will be working (of course), but somehow, someway; I will be there ....


HAWKEYE:

"Listen.

Submit.

You hear me?

You're strong.

You stay alive.

I will find you ...

no matter how far, no matter how long it takes ... "

I will find you ...


:party:

[CaptJasHook]

14. As a newbie how would one recognize the DU table at LL?

[Trajan]

15. The foolish, drooling Neanderthals singing Showtunes in falsetto ....

And spilling beer ....

(Damn ... Gave it away .... we NEVER spill beer ... much)

Actually : Someone usually possesses an obvious token or two ....

Those who seek will surely find ....

[CaptJasHook]

16. "When you see a guy, reach for stars in the sky"

:toast:

[Uncle Sinister]

18. OMG, Showtunes too ??!??!!

*uncle sinister starts a horrid rendition of "Phantom"*

I'm in. prolly can't get there until about 6. (community organizing meeting at Sisters Of the Road this afternoon.)

Will anyone still be coherent by then?

My name's Richard, I'll wear my Che Guevara T-shirt.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

20. We'll be out on the patio...

:hi:

915 SE Hawthorne Blvd

[Greyhound]

17. The lab sounds fine. C-YA. n/t

[0rganism]

19. Here's to seein' ya there, probably

I'm torn... on the one hand, I have a mountain of homework breathing down my neck, and I'm tired.

On the other, I need to get the fuck out of my house and see some liberals and drink some beer.

I'll probably be there around 5ish. :D

[Trajan]

28. Music recommendations ....

1) Nine Inch Nails - Year Zero

2) Foofighters - Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace

3) Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth

4) Jon Anderson - Olias of Sunhillow

[Uncle Sinister]

21. My meeting finished early (shocked, I was) should be there 4:30/5:00

Che's in the hamper, so Powell's t-shirt, semi-shaggy brown hair (with a spot of gray), bi-focals, copy of The Nation (something to read on the bus). I look like an aging, down-on-his-luck nerd. Which is pretty accurate.

I've never been to the Lab. Smoking allowed on the patio? Or should I nicotine up before I get there? And what's a pint of stout cost? (me on budget, need to plan)

I'll chk back about 4, then I'm outa here.
Se yaz,
rich

[Trajan]

22. Easy

1) Bring your smokes

2) Beer is expensive, but delicious .... Those with duckettes will usually spring for those without ...

See Ya ...

[Uncle Sinister]

23. sweeet! on my way, me need brew after seeing Kansas results.

Scared, I am.

[Reader Rabbit]

24. Gemini Dream!

I actually remembered to google it once I got home! It is the Moody Blues!

http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/moodyblues/geminidream.html

I'm not going crazy! (much) Whoo hoo!

[Uncle Sinister]

25. Want a 2nd opinion, RR?

but crazy or not, you're right!

Loved meeting you all.


The video site I mentioned (all Firefly and American Gothic, free and streaming) is www.hulu.com

I haven't checked in awhile, but if the site says it's closed to registration (it's in beta) let me know and I'll see if I can wrangle an invitation.

I can't find my collection of links on the Tony Rezko story, (or stories) I can't search, but if you want to my username and "Rezko" you should find it. Just a collection of links, but from professional local media as the story broke. (The Sun, The Trib, ABC7)

About 10 different stories over 3 years. Interesting reading.

And I'm definitely down with RHPS next Saturday.

it's just a jump to the left

26. By golly ....

There it is ..... In all it's Moody, Blue reality ... Good Call ....

JK ... I love the Moody Blues ... "Question" is still the GREAT MB song of all time ....

It's not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me.
It's more the way that you mean it
When you tell me what will be.

And when you stop and think about it
You won't believe it's true.
That all the love you've been giving
Has all been meant for you.

I'm looking for someone to change my life.
I'm looking for a miracle in my life.
And if you could see what it's done to me
To lose the the love I knew
Could safely lead me through.

Between the silence of the mountains
And the crashing of the sea
There lies a land I once lived in
And she's waiting there for me.

But in the grey of the morning
My mind becomes confused
Between the dead and the sleeping
And the road that I must choose.

I'm looking for someone to change my life.
I'm looking for a miracle in my life.
And if you could see what it's done to me
To lose the the love I knew
Could safely lead me to
The land that I once knew.
To learn as we grow old
The secrets of our souls.

It's not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me.
It's more the way you really mean it
When you tell me what will be.


Yeah .... Moody Blues ....

[Uncle Sinister]

27. btw. if you enter "gemini blues" at pandora.com...

they correctly identify the song, and build you a very nice radio station. Moody Blues, Genesis, T-Rex, The Paisleys, Yes...
...and the B-52's???

Thaks for identifying the song, it's now one of my stations. :)

[Greyhound]

29. I love Pandora, been using it since ~July/August. I have 10 - 15 stations set up

but last time I checked they still didn't have any option for classical.

Nice to meet you, hope you stick around.

[Greyhound]

30. You are crazy, but you're right, thanks. n/t
