ya know, i sure do miss the old days of du meetups.

[mopinko]

gosh those were fun.
so many trolls about these days, i guess it is asking for trouble. tho in the beginning, we didnt post the info, you had to contact someone.

i think there was a marriage or 2 that came out of it, too.

anybody interested? i remember trying to get a couple chicago ones off the ground in a row that didnt come together. but it has been a long time, and i suspect a lot of us could use a little face time w our tribe.

tho really, i still think the hot ticket is a du cruise.

1. I would like to see a DU meet up at the Women's March.

Not sure if it is doable with the huge crowd there, but it would be a lot of fun.

2. i think it is probably very doable.

a few of us managed to find each other at obama's first inauguration.
it was great fun. i think you just need someone on the ground to be a contact, and to find a room.

iirc, lynne sin was in charge that time.

3. Most DU meetups that I have been to have been at public protests.

Which are a lot harder to troll, since a troll would be surrounded by hundreds, if not thousands, of people who could give them a very bad time of it.

4. I briefly met a couple of DUers at the 2008 convention where Obama was nominated

And then, of course, there was this year on August 7th in California: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028081914

5. Thanks for re-posting my thread, my dear DFW!

Re-reading that made me smile all over again.



And I hope it won't be too long before we get together again!

[DFW]

6. Any time, dear Peggy!

And I hope we will meet again soon as well! Obviously with my better half, we'll need to see how her recovery progresses. Still, we met with her surgeon today for the big "month later" meeting, and he thought she looked great, said there was no barrier at all to her taking up intercontinental travel again right away.

Sooooooooooo.........how does a little village near the tip of Cape Cod sound to you in July?

7. I would so go on a DU cruise.

Maybe next year? I would help organize.

[mopinko]

8. ikr? wouldnt take a lot of org, i dont think.

question is- which coast?

[Laffy Kat]

9. Maybe a few polls to narrow coasts and destinations down?

Go for the most participants. Of course, this is DU and there could be...umm...strong opinions.

10. pretty much where these things usually fall apart.

sigh. organizing dems....
