While I enjoyed going to this veggie-o thing in Chicago last year at YearlyKos 2, the night before the event,
, I recall the wonderful words of Deuteronomy 3:7, "But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves."
Or, "Where's the beef?"
So, one could eat various places at Netroots Nation on Wednesday nite, but I was thinking for now the Austin Land and Cattle Company; it's not the closest steakhole to the Austin Hilton, but it's only c. 1 1/2 miles away, and isn't a chain, and has the pride to use "Austin" in its name, and has a steak cooking setting called "black and blue" (charred outside, cold inside). Wow! Online reviews of ALaCC seem good too. So I made a reservation for 8 there, at 7 p.m. on 7/16/08 (all changeable).
Who's coming? (I have one anonymous interested other Kossack party already, so the steam is building...)
(more beef below)
To sweeten the pot, I may pay for the dessert of the first respondent who shows up (well, maybe the first three respondents)*. *Assuming you don't order a $10,000 bottle of 1808 port or something
I was thinking of meeting people in the hotel lobby and/or NN registration area, but mail me at dbo AT arblogger.com to get my phone number and/or leave yours, confirm your presence, etc., so we can coordinate and see how many peeps a-comin' and all.
(I note that there's a "Burnt Orange Report & friends" welcome event, here, at 8 p.m. Wednesday, so mebbe 6 or 6:30 for steaky. Whatevs.
Also, some orange person in foto above may have her own thing on Saturday, see here.)
So let's get together for
a locus of resistance to the Mr. Smiths of the Obama machine
planning to overthrow the elderly and feeble Kos
preparing an 8-month nonviolent sit-in at a Crawford ranch
a bunch of people having a good time and celebrating Democrattitude or whatever.
--Steako costs $, but I saw one pasta entree for $12, and split plates are $4, or $2 per splitter, so this should be doable for anyone. (Especially if I buy you a free dessert...)
So let's hear, and see you there! Let's meat, uh, meet in Texas! The cow eyes of TX are upon you!
