Breaking: McNerney to attend SF YearlyKos Fundraiser

Last night we got some good news, Congressman Jerry McNerney will be attending our San Francisco fundraiser this coming Friday June 1st. This will be his second appearance since he was at the DC fundraiser not too long ago as well.

If you are anywhere near the bay area on Friday, June 1st then this is an event you really aren't going to want to miss.  We interact with each other daily online, but it is pretty rare that large groups of people actually get a chance to get together and talk.  Outside of the actual YearlyKos Convention in Chicago from August 2-5 this year there just aren't many opportunities.

So don't let this one slip away, just go here and register without delay.

We've got a great evening planned for everyone at Roe.  DJ Label will be there to spin and later in the evening Reggae/Funk band Planet Down will be playing a few sets for everyone.  In between Hopper Creek will be helping to lubricate the conversation by pouring plenty of wine.

If all that isn't enough you'll get a chance to meet, talk to and listen to some pretty well known names including: Brian Keeler, buhdydharma, The Calitics crew, Lt. Colonel Charlie Brown, Hunter, Gina Cooper, Kid Oakland, Markos, Congressman Jerry McNerney, Navajo, and SusanG.

People representing Prosper.com, The San Francisco and Oakland Drinking Liberally chapters, and the San Francisco Young Democrats will also be there.

There's one more day till the event, get your tickets today!

•  Who schedules this

  ... on Western Weekend? That would be our annual festival out here in Pt. Reyes Station.

  Dang, no matter which I do I'll have to miss a great event.

  •  Didn't learn about that till recently...

    I didn't actually learn about that until recently and it sounds like a fun event.  This fundraiser was actually supposed to be in May but things came up as they are wont to do so we ended up with this date.

  •  With Toby's Feed Barn and Cowgirl Creamery,

    doesn't Pt. Reyes Stn. effectively have Western Weekend just about every weekend?

    •  Yes, but

      ... some weekends are more western than others, and this is the westernmost of them all :)

      There's the livestock judging on Saturday, the parade, barbecue, and chili cooking contest on Sunday, and of course the Saloon will be hoppin' the whole time along with many a private party.

      •  My relatives (who live in the area) will probably

        be attending then.  As for me, maybe I'll dig out my (very) old Toby's t-shirt (from the days before Pt. Reyes went "upscale"), and pretend I'm there.

  •  Sorry to miss that

    Sounds like a blast. I'm an elephant seal docent at Pt. Reyes from Jan - March and I always try to make it from in SF in time to hit Bovine Bakery before I head out to talk to the visitors.

    I'll be at the YK fundraiser - I'm glad Jerry is going to make it and if you haven't had a chance to meet Charlie Brown yet, he is fantastic. I spent a lot of time working on his campaign last year and really admire he and his wife Jan. I had emailed them and suggested they make the fundraiser (they probably already were) and Jan said they were going to try so very glad he was able to confirm (not sure yet if Jan is going to be there, but she is as awesome as Charlie is).

    •  Charlie

      He registered for two tickets so I'm not sure if it is him and his wife of him and a staffer.  But just throwing it out there.

      •  hope it's Jan

        I emailed her this morning to see if she was going to be there..I always loved that they carried all their 2006 campaign supplies in their 2006 Yearly Kos canvas bag.

•  doesn't qualify

  I'm not sure scheduling confirmations of YK count as "BREAKING"...  Maybe "Confirmed:"  or "Cool Beans!"
