Annual WIDU Meetup at the State Democratic Convention - Friday the 13th!!
Convention-goers check in!!

As usual, we'll get together on the Friday night of the DPW Convention at an offsite location to rub elbows and give ewagner crap. This year that'll be FRIDAY THE 13TH of June.

Thanks to the excellent advice of sybylla and Jonathan Chance, we have chosen a location that is relatively close to the Convention Center. Join us there any time after the keynote speech ends (or before, if it's a really boring speaker):

Hilltop Pub & Grill
4901 US Highway 10 E, Stevens Point
Located at the corner of Interstate 39 and US Hwy 10
Phone: (715) 341-3037

Map from the Convention Center to the Hilltop

250,000 people enjoy dining at the Hilltop every year, and so will you! We have 19 Beers on tap, 12 micro Brews. Come and see our historical 125-year-old beer keg from the Stevens Point Brewery.


:toast:

sybylla sez, "I've been to the Hilltop. It's a great place for a meet up. They have a big sports bar area and an even bigger restaurant. Plus, it's just down the street from the new convention center so it's easy to find... I'd vote we go there."

So let us know if you're thinking of joining us!

NGU.

1. Kicking for a meet-up
Hospitality-shmospitality. Who needs hospitality suites when, by the time you get through the line, either the food is gone or people you wanted most to see have left.

4. I have never been to a state convention. Do you need to be a
member or have a special invite? I have not been to Stevens Point in years.

5. You can register as a guest at the convention - same registration fee
But you can skip it if you want and just come to the meetup. ;-)

6. To be a delegate, you need to register ahead of time, and that...
...deadline has passed this year. But, as sybylla says above, you can attend as a guest. I think admission is $30. Or just come to the Hilltop and party with us! I love meeting new DUers...

:party:

14. Why're you sweating? A couple hours...
...from Mad Town to Point, which means -- even if you don't hit the road till 5 -- you'll be in the Convention Hall in time to meet up with us before the meetup. Gravy.

You better not miss it this year, e, or I'm sending April after you!

NGU.
