I know it's only been five months since our last get-together, but it feels like ten years, so head on out Sunday July 22nd and catch up with your fellow progressives in the Austin area. Details after the jump.
Once again we'll be meeting at the Dog and Duck Pub for beer and grub. We'll open up the time frame from 1-5pm, so all you devout folk have time to change into your subversive duds after church. Remember, we don't have a color scheme, but blue-tinted air is a favorite with the group. As such, you probably won't want to bring the kiddies unless they're over 17 or very hard of hearing. Pooties, under 18 and of any level of hearing, always welcome.
If you want to meet the illustrious likes* of boadicea, Grand Moff Texan, or refinish69 you'd better get there early (*in no way an explicit guarantee of sighting of said illustrious personages). At the very least you'll see roses and me, your stalwart organizers, engaged in lively conversation about next month's Yearly Kos event. I know Texas Tiger and khereva are hereabouts, so I expect them there, as well.
On a related note, I just wanted to say that our fair city has lost one of its fairest citizens with the passing of Lady Bird. She represented our state and the office of the First Lady with unmatched grace, strength, and passion. I have never been able to drive through the gorgeous Hill Country in spring and summer without thinking of her and how she made America look more closely at the countryside that the automobile turned to a blur after WWII. She will be deeply missed.
If anyone has any photos or stories of this wonderful First Lady, please bring them to share next weekend. See you then.

UPDATE: Due to the early flight time of wmtriallawyer, we'll start at noon so he and his wife can stop by and say hello while they're in town.
