Milwaukee Meetup on April 30th- Who is planning on coming?

[ralps]

Cyndee_Lou_Who's friends are playing at 9:30 pm at Papa's Pub in Wauwatosa
Well, their show starts at 9:30... http://johnny3note.com/Schedule.htm

But.. clearly we can meet much earlier than that - eat and drink without music drowning out conversation. If people want to stick around, they are a great band.

So if we meet at around 7:30pm or 8pm at Papa's pub in Wauwatosa on April 30 is that alright with everyone?

1. Is that just off Highway 100?

I probably have to work that night, but will try to switch with someone.

[ClassWarrior]

3. Nope, it's just west of 76th Street on Burleigh.

Highway 100 is a couple of miles west of there.

Thanks for the notice, ralps!

NGU.

[bobthedrummer]

2. I'm looking forward to meeting some other DUers for the first time.

I plan on being there.

[RevCheesehead]

4. I will do everything I can to make it.

Wow! A chance to meet real DU'ers! :woohoo:

Earlier is better for me, since I'll have to get back for church the next morning. (It's about a 2-hour drive)

[ewagner]

5. Thanks for the notice Ralps

But I have to be in Ashland for the 7th Congressional District Convention.....love to be with you though.......

RL

[RevCheesehead]

17. hmmm....

why don't you tell her several DU women will be there? That ought to get her attention, and it will virtually guarantee she'll come along. :evilgrin:

[RetroLounge]

18. Now that's a plan!

She'll have a babysitter lined up in nothing flat!

:hi:

RL

[joneschick]

20. one DU woman checking in

Papa's is just a few blocks from me. How cool. It's practically within what we used to refer to as "crawling distance."
and the fried calamari next door at Mama's is terrific.

I will try to get my husband to join the fun. I'm really looking forward to this.

[ralps]

21. Cool joneschick, I hope you all can come

Welcome to DU!!! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[RevCheesehead]

[ralps]

35. I have no idea what the rules are if any.

:shrug: :hi: :hug:

[ClassWarrior]

36. If we have candidates in our midst, LET THEM SPEAK!!

He spoke at the MFD/DFA meeting the other night. Good for him for taking on Ryan.

NGU.

[mark414]

40. would love to but i'll be out of town

going to a couple of concerts, in east lansing and chicago to see this rap artist from the uk, i'll make the next one

[JohnnyCougar]

42. Wow...that's 3 blocks away from my parents house!

I grew up on that food....when it was called Mam Mia's.

I dunno if I'll have time to come up there, but if I do, I will be there. I want to go back up to Milwaukee once before school is over. Perhaps that will be the weekend I do.

[ralps]

43. That would be cool if you could come!!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

NGU.

[RevCheesehead]

50. Any chance of starting earlier than 7:30?

I'm going to have to be on the road by 10, or 11 at the latest. Somehow, I suspect that won't be enough time for me!

(I absolutely have to be at church the next day, since a conference big-wig is coming, and I was told all clergy MUST attend. :eyes: )

[ralps]

51. I have an AA meeting I go to that starts at 6 pm. It usually ends at

around 7, so I will get to Papa's Pub as soon as I can:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[RevCheesehead]

52. Okie-dokie!

I'll buy your first Pepsi (or whatever). :thumbsup:

[ClassWarrior]

53. And of course I'll be late as usual...

:hi: Rev Darlin.

I have this persistent mental image of you yawning in faces of the church bigwigs... <LOL>

NGU.

[RevCheesehead]

54. Better yawning than showing up

totally shit-faced. :evilgrin:

You will miss my grand entrance. :(

But, you'll be coming to the meetup! :bounce::woohoo::bounce:

[ClassWarrior]

56. Does your grand entrance involve smoke machines and lots of feathers?

I would have said "shit-faced" but I'm more of a fucking gentleman than that. B-)

Yeah, I should get there eventually.

NNNGU, Rev Darlin. :patriot:

[ralps]

55. One more week to go. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you all have it marked

in your calendars. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Serial Mom]

57. I will be there with Cyndee_Lou_Who's father ...

I'm her mom, and hopefully we will bring a friend of ours also...

[RetroLounge]

58. I'll be there with Mrs Retro and the camera.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

63. Hello Wisconsin!

I made it -- but just barely -- I'll share my U-Haul (America's Moving Nightmare) Story at the meetup on Saturday. So did they cancel spring because of state budget cutbacks or what?

[ewagner]

64. Spring?

you missed it....

it was on a Tuesday two weeks ago.... :evilgrin:

btw: Welcome to Wisconsin!!!! :hi:

[ClassWarrior]

65. First lesson in being a Sconnie, Jeff...

There are only two seasons in Wisconsin - winter and road construction.

Welcome, my friend! :toast:

NGU.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

74. Now they tell me...

[ClassWarrior]

76. By the way, nice job on the handle change...

Milwaukee looks good on you.

NGU.

[Serial Mom]

66. Welcome to Milwaukee!

:toast:

What area did you move to?

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

73. Right now I'm living in a hotel

My family is coming up this weekend for some fast and furious house-hunting.

[Jimbo S]

78. That must be a bitch

I hope I will never have to go through that experience.

[joneschick]

94. Lovely home

MLS #744166, across the street from me. Not far from Papa's....we could DU the neighborhood. I don't think it would take much

[ralps]

67. Welcome to Milwaukee Jeff. I'm sure it will warm up soon.

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[RetroLounge]

87. Hey Jeff!

Welcome to Milwaukee.

Sorry you missed Spring and Summer. It's Fall already...

RL

[bobthedrummer]

68. Shoot, some family business is going to cause me to miss this meet-up.

I've got to be in Madison Saturday. Sorry.

[ralps]

72. Darn it Bob, I hope the family business works out. Hopefully we'll

have another meetup soon, maybe at the Wisc. Dem. convention:shrug:

[Nikia]

69. I'm trying to talk my husband into it

I'm a little nervous though about going though. I don't want to disappoint anyone by being different from what you think I am. Aren't I silly?
Anyway, if I go and bring my husband, be nice to him and don't get in a fight with him about gun control. Thanks.

[ClassWarrior]

70. Didn't anyone tell you? We're screening Bowling for Columbine.

Just kidding!! B-)

You don't need to be nervous. We're all kindred souls and we're all in this together. Even spouses who like guns.

See ya there Nikia!
