We have a great excuse for a meetup : DailyKos stalwart and diary-rescuer extraordinaire jlms qkw will be in town this weekend, and she'd love to get together with some New Yorkers. If she's rescued one of your diaries (or even if not), I know you'll want to meet her. Follow me below for the details:
jlms qkw will be available to get together with us Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday evening, February 12th through the 15th. We're looking forward to a "stimulus" - filled evening.
We're hoping to hold it at Shades of Green, 125 East 15th Street, once again. But no karaoke this time - I promise!
Some fun facts about the dates we can choose from:
Thursday, Feb 12, is the bicentennial of what is possibly the most historically significant date in the history of Western civilization: the birth of both Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin. Well worth celebrating, IMHO.
Friday, February 13, is Friday the 13th. A great opportunity to show the world that progressives aren't superstitious!
Saturday, February 14th, is Valentine's Day. Bring your honey to a meetup?
Sunday, February 15th, there's no more football on TV. If that makes you happy, come celebrate. If not, well, you have no excuse not to come.
This is your first invite from your new NYC Meetup organizing team, plf515 and myself. I hope we'll be able to live up to the high standards of entertainment you've come to expect from our esteemed former hostess, casperr. Because I have to go out to my computer-challenged work, plf515 will be moderating comments on this diary. I hope you can all make it, but even if you can't please rec this up so it stays on the front page for as long as possible - Thanks!!
