Join us in San Francisco for a YearlyKos Fundraiser

We're organizing a fundraiser to benefit The YearlyKos Convention and you're invited!

The event will feature many of the folks you know and love such as Brian Keeler, The Calitics crew, Hunter, Gina Cooper, Kid Oakland, Markos, Navajo, the San Francisco and Oakland (check their blog) Drinking Liberally chapters, SusanG, and other Left Coast luminaries. The only way you're going to get that many people together is possibly at the convention itself!

But wait, there's more...

In addition to all of our special guests fans of live music will be pleased.  DJ Label will be opening the evening and towards the end of the night reggae/funk band Planet Down(MySpace page) will be playing for everyone.

The wine will be flowing courtesy of Hopper Creek, and if wine isn't your thing there is always the bar at Roe.

All of this and more can be yours for a mere $35 donation or $40 at the door.

Friday, June 1, 2007, 7 p.m.
Roe Restaurant and Lounge
651 Howard Street, San Francisco
$35 in advance / $40 at the door

Buy tickets here.

We hope to see you there, it will definitely be an event you won't want to miss. And don't forget to register for the convention, prices will be going up soon.

Update: Good update from Cali Scribe - for those that don't live in the city this is really close to either BART or Caltrain so you don't even have to drive.

•  Do we have to wear orange?

  by FoundingFatherDAR on Tue May 15, 2007 at 09:23:18 AM PDT

  •  Now there's an idea...

    An orange party.

    by terminal3 on Tue May 15, 2007 at 09:26:07 AM PDT

  •  Yes.

    by NYBri on Tue May 15, 2007 at 09:29:28 AM PDT

    •  Noooooooo......it is sooo not my color!

      It will be great to meet you!  This will be a great east meets west event!

      by SallyCat on Tue May 15, 2007 at 09:31:39 AM PDT

      •  Absolutely....

        Orange everything.

        heh.

        by NYBri on Tue May 15, 2007 at 09:32:52 AM PDT

        •  Don't Have Anything Orange

          but I'll wear my DailyKos tag . . . is that good enough?  :)

          by norm on Wed May 16, 2007 at 06:13:36 AM PDT

      •  Dahling, you look good in any color. n/t

        by highacidity on Tue May 15, 2007 at 11:10:08 AM PDT

•  I'll twist Mr.Cat's arm...

  and make it a double day for him...his b-day and YearlyKos at the same time.

  Let me confirm with him then I'll make reservations!

  by SallyCat on Tue May 15, 2007 at 09:25:04 AM PDT

  •  Great!

    It'll be good to see you guys again.

    by terminal3 on Tue May 15, 2007 at 09:26:42 AM PDT

•  I am so there!

  Just bought my ticket and added the event to my Google calendar. Great location -- hop skip and jump from CalTrain on the 30 or 45 (for those who don't want to drive into the City). Hmmmm...I'm going to a concert in SF on Saturday, so maybe I should just stay over a couple of nights...will have to discuss with the spouse...

  by Cali Scribe on Tue May 15, 2007 at 09:27:03 AM PDT

  •  I forgot about that...

    great thing to mention on the public transit options.

    by terminal3 on Tue May 15, 2007 at 09:30:13 AM PDT

    •  Also just a few blocks from BART

      for those coming from the East Bay -- looks like closest to the Montgomery Street Station.

      Just booked a room in the Marina for a couple of nights -- now just have to tell the spouse that's what we're doing.

      by Cali Scribe on Tue May 15, 2007 at 09:48:16 AM PDT

•  I'm making the trip west...

  ...to visit with all the bay area Kossacks.

  BRING YOUR FIRENDS!

  by NYBri on Tue May 15, 2007 at 09:30:24 AM PDT

  •  Looking forward to seeing you again...

    ... Brian. Thanks for coming so far to drink with us!

    by highacidity on Tue May 15, 2007 at 11:11:56 AM PDT

•  Heh

  am I considered part of the "Calitics crew"?  I will try and make the trip down.  I always love a good excuse to come in to town and crash on my brother's futon.  Maybe I can conn him into coming too. hmm...

  by juls on Tue May 15, 2007 at 09:33:05 AM PDT

  •  Of course...

    You, Brian, Jeremy, everyone :)

    by terminal3 on Tue May 15, 2007 at 09:34:29 AM PDT

  •  you must make the trip.....

    :>)

    by NYBri on Tue May 15, 2007 at 09:34:42 AM PDT

    •  Haha

      aaaw I feel all loved and warm and squishy inside.

      by juls on Tue May 15, 2007 at 09:42:48 AM PDT

  •  I thought you were the primary Calitics crew!

    Hope you can make it - I'm looking forward to hearing more about CA-04 teams!

    by SallyCat on Tue May 15, 2007 at 09:34:44 AM PDT

  •  Oh and...

    I hope Zack will be there too, haven't seen him in ages. tear him away from his work :)

    by terminal3 on Tue May 15, 2007 at 09:36:00 AM PDT

    •  Heh

      yeah he does need to unplug from time to time.

      by juls on Tue May 15, 2007 at 09:43:30 AM PDT

•  Also interested in thoughts on ticket tool

  I'm also interested in thoughts on the ticket tool for those that have bought tickets.  Do you like it or not?  We're evaluating it for possibly wider use.

  Online payment-wise I know they only accept paypal but I think they are working to change that.

  by terminal3 on Tue May 15, 2007 at 09:42:52 AM PDT

  •  Anything besides Paypal.

    by FoundingFatherDAR on Tue May 15, 2007 at 09:58:29 AM PDT

    •  Yeah I agree...

      I'm hoping they allow either a merchant account or google checkout in the future.

      by terminal3 on Tue May 15, 2007 at 10:06:52 AM PDT

•  I'm there

  Can't wait to see some of the usual suspects and meet some new ones!!

  by glaciermom on Tue May 15, 2007 at 09:49:46 AM PDT

•  I am SO there!!

  I can't wait!! It's time for us left coasters to show the east coasters that we can do more than bring home the tofu bacon and fry it up in our tie-dyed pans. This will be our moment to shine! :)

  by Sinator on Tue May 15, 2007 at 10:22:40 AM PDT

  •  I hope so...

    Since you are helping with organizing it :P

    by terminal3 on Tue May 15, 2007 at 10:28:41 AM PDT

    •  hee hee-- I'll check my social calendar

      and get back to ya. my people will call yours... when was it, July?

      by Sinator on Tue May 15, 2007 at 10:33:08 AM PDT

•  ps- DJ Label rocks!

  He has DJ'ed a number of your favorite Cali progressives' parties...

  by Sinator on Tue May 15, 2007 at 10:23:44 AM PDT

•  Sorry to get here late to this thread

  I am really looking forward to this event.  It sounds fantastic.  I'll be there with bells on!

  by navajo on Tue May 15, 2007 at 12:08:30 PM PDT

•  While Can't Make it to YearlyKos

  I will at least make it to the fundraiser.  :)  See you then!

  by norm on Wed May 16, 2007 at 06:12:25 AM PDT

•  Closest BART station stop is at Montgomery

  Less than a mile walk, but hey, the city's great for walking.  And in the past, for SF Kossacks events, we're very good at walking back to the station in groups when we're ready.  :)

  by norm on Wed May 16, 2007 at 06:25:21 AM PDT

  •  thanks norm

    1/2 mile at most i bet!  about 6 blocks
