Let's get serious about the Irish Democrat on 1/4/08!
Hi Iowa DUers!
Since it's almost December, I think it's time to firm up our tentative plan to meet at the Irish Democrat on January 4th for a post-caucus decompression get-together!

I was thinking about an evening thing, since many of us work during the day (rurallib had suggested an afternoon thing, since folks might have time off for the holidays, but Rambis and I do have to work that day until 5:00).

Please reply to this post and indicate whether or not you'd be interested, and what time you think would be best.

Thanks!!
- cs

1. I have to work during the day and so does my husband.
I would really prefer an evening thing. We don't often get a chance for us to go out, just the two of us, so I'm really looking forward to it.

3. I'd prefer evening as well..
6-630pm-ish would probably end up being the best.

That is, as long as the Edwards supporters don't rub in the fact that he won... Ha ha.

4. Sorry, can't make it.
Have to work on January 5 so drinking in CR is not possible for Bluzmann. Hope you all have a good time, and have one or more for me. And try to stifle your yawns after reading this post. lol.

7. Howz about eating?
I don't think there's a rule that you must drink. Unless it's a self-imposed rule (which I have). :)
I understand not wanting to stay out late, though. We'll think of you often!

10. I work 12 hr. shifts
And have to be in at 5:00AM. And I'm middle aged and not so crazy anymore. But I sure would like to meet you all some time. And again, have a great time while toasting the upset victory of Chris Dodd. Er...Obama, ummm...Edwards, ah hell, just have a great time.

Trying to get this group together is like getting a picture of Santa Claus.

12. *sigh* still half mourning - did you see the press conference?
You could tell that both Farley and Sanders had tears in their eyes. Man, my heart just breaks for them.

6. I'd consider making the trip from Marshalltown
but, as always, it would depend on the weather.

8. Probably a factor for all of us
I hope the weather is decent! I think we all have a bit of traveling to get to CR, but it seems sort of centrally located to most of us. More importantly, I hope the weather is decent on the 3rd!

13. In but I have a question?
Have we had the Smithwicks taster give the all clear yet? Product consistency and reliability are very important to me. If I have to I will sacrifice a Saturday and go do the analysis and report back. The things I do for the Democratic party jeesh!

25. 6:30 Fri I will face east and have a Tullamore Dew in your honor
and flip the finger to Hardball on the kitchen tv. Have fun and be safe.

Never above you.
Never below you.
Always by your side
