...is exactly what we do NOT want to have happen at Netroots Nation '09 in Pittsburgh.
As I reminded folks the other night, nightbirds at NN'08 in Austin should remember the scene well: There we were on Saturday Night, 50-strong in the lobby of the hotel, enjoying the fruit of the vine while singing and swapping stories.
Well, we've decided to do it again, this time on Friday Night after the Chairman's Pub Quiz. Location is still TBA, but it's definitely a go
And what are we planning? Join me on the flipside:
The First Annual Mojo Friday Mojitothon/Cheers & Jeers Rum and Coke Friday Extravaganzapalooza!
The idea is that on Friday Night after the Pub Quiz, we gather, drink, eat, talk, and have a jam session/song circle/Hootenanny. Party from 8 PM until they kick us out. Take turns calling/playing songs, and attempt to fill requests. Have a laptop handy to look up lyrics so we can learn songs right there on the spot. Play games, laugh and be Merry. Or Mary. Or Steve. Hell, be whoever you want to be!
But I still need to answer this question from the organizers of NN'09 is this:
How many people would attend?
Feel free to answer in the comments.
Oh, and while you're at it, go donate to Netroots For The Troops. We're less-than $8,000 away from our goal!
