The Portland DU Meet-Up was a Complete Success ! ....

[Trajan]

No matter HOW you measure success ...

Nine of us made it, and really had a wonderful time ....

It is a great feeling to share hops-based beverages with passionate people of like-minds ... I was so glad to share with each of you ...

The Lucky Lab was a GREAT choice ! (says the Portland-newbie with 30 days senority) .... it had the perfect ambience for us .... I loved it ... The brews were sensational ... We drank mostly the Organic Golden Ale or Dog Day India Pale Ale ... both were extremely delicious ....

I want to again thank Viva La Revolution for planning this one, and I also want to thank the participants, THANKS for showing and making this such a delight ...

Attendees:

Viva LA Revolution
LiviaOlivia
Organism
Depakid
TomKitten
PDX Bara
Elad
Myself
And the delightful Adrienne (not a DUer but a wonderful friend of Elad)

Truly; all were extraordinary human beings; witty, thoughtful and articulate: Just as you would imagine, everyone being Liberals and all ...

Josh ?, Barry?, JJ?, Rose?, Livia?, Brian? Adrienne?, and Brenna ?

I had a wonderful time with you all; we MUST do this again ....

I have no pics to share .. perhaps Elad will post one ....

1. Well, congrats.

Maybe we'll get smart as a nation and hop on board the Howard Dean "All 50 States" train and put the kiobsh on these pricks who are fucking the country until it bleeds.

My phone doesn't take great pictures in bad light so the pic I got didn't turn out great, but here it is:

7. I had a great time

If you think sitting around a table for five hours talking with like-minded individuals would be boring, you haven't had enough beer.

8. Crap.....

I guess I should check the state forums more...


Any idea when there might be another?

9. Sorry I missed that. try for Sept?

Here in OR we are a long ways from Washington, and so are all, on the West Coast, HI, Alaska, Guam and other points W. Perhaps all states in the West and even Midwest should make some plans for a meet-up in each state in Sept. I for one wouldn't wish to go into a large city in the east, or even here, mainly to know who's who! I know there are a lot more angry, upset people here than just Dems and DUers, so all should be invited. I can afford to travel to anywhere in OR and would start making plans to do so if someone could help with a follow through locally. It might even be possible to have one or two Dem. public office holders to stop by. I also would be willing to contribute a little financialy, above personal expense, for needed funds to use the local media to extend invitation to all.
I would be on my way to TX, if I could afford it, to be there on Thursday!

11. Are you going to meet in September?

If so, let this Alaskan know. Hubby and I will be in town on the 2nd. We'll be there, if it happens.

Thanks!
