Thanks to the KC area DUers

who came to our meetup last night.

:hi:
Comer Perro - and his girlfriend
Hatrack - and his wife
Catmandu - and his wife
evilbastard - probably spelled it wrong, sorry evil
And my son who has now decided it's time he joined DU.

And to all of you who have yet to join us, we have such a great time. Imagine a party where you don't know anyone but as soon as you meet each guest, you feel like you have known them for years. It is truly a great meeting of the minds.

We are going to try to have a picnic in a park in June on a weekend. I will investigate reserving a shelter and let you all know. Oh and polish off your favorite recipes because it will be pot luck. I will spring for the paper goods. No, not rolling papers, paper stuff to eat off of. gotcha!!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

If you would like to send me a pm and I will send my email.
I am involved in a few groups in my area (DFA, Progressive Women) and would love to let them know the details.
We need to band together. A weekend picnic would be perfect.

One of our DUers who came to our meetup is from Warrensburg! He lives in KC now.

We need more prog and lib minded people here.

Perhaps Springfield DFA would be able to join you! And I make a mean batch of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies...:silly:

You can bribe us anytime.

I like the idea of you guys coming up here. I'm sure you could use a break from fundie land.

I will let you know when we have some definite plans.

It's a saturday and far enough away that people can work around the date, Loose Park sounds good to me.

My nephew is getting married that day.

I could do the 19th.

But if that date works best for everyone else, then go for it.

I have been checking parks. Most now want at least $35 to rent a shelter. They used to be free. KCMO's parks are the highest. Some are $80 for half a day. I will look at Wyandotte County and get back to you.

Sorry I missed it, but I was having a great time on vacation, so I'm not too sorry. I'll make the next one!
