Mini DU Meet Up with Mr & Mrs TobinS.

I was driving near by TobinS and stop for a quick Meet Up!

[IMG][/IMG]


Here's Tobin;
It's been good meeting up with Dennis. I told him I would buy him dinner if he made it by this way. We took him to one of our favorite restaurants, a Thai restaurant, and he actually treated us!

I went to two in my hometown Atlanta. One of them we had about three dozen people. Met Catwoman and others.

Nice denbot and the TobinS's. Very nice.

Even back in the early days when the freepers would pull shit like those assholes did to Kephra, we would meet up and have a blast. Don't let the trolls and other assorted idiots stand in the way of meeting with fellow progressives that you meet here on DU.

You all look like you're having a great time, and I'm sure you are!

I've met two of you and have yet to meet MrsTobinS!

Thanks for sharing that great picture!

What a great guy! We all know you and him from your photos, but mine are harder to find. I'll be the scrawny guy with the beard and mustache when we meet.

I'm in North County (Lancaster), and I don't get down your way as much as before. I take Metrolink to L.A. (2 hours one way). But you are seriously tempting me to make the trip.

The offer is serious, I just about anytime I'm home I would be happy to pick you up at Union Station. I could have my yak loaded up, and afterwards we could see if CaliforniaPeggy, and Mandrake could meet us for a snack before heading back downtown.

PM me and I'll give you my phone #

Had a drop in Casa Grande, then another one in Tolleson before rolling down the I-10 for home.

As I recall you are east of there by my ancestral home near Dos Cabezas, is that correct?
