Good Friday morning to you, Kossacks! Your friend and humble narrator, droogie is here, filling in as your Mojo Friday host as the usual masterminds behind this beloved site tradition are gearing up for the journey toward Pittsburgh, PA for good ol' Netroots Nation 2009.
Ah, Netroots Nation. That grand time of year where I get to connect on a personal level with all the freaks, geeks and happy mutants of the evil liberal blogger horde.
I'll never forget the priceless memories I've had at these wonderful events over the years! In fact, I've brought along a few photos to share.
Here's just a few selections from my huge album of Netroots Nations memories!
Above: Droogie6655321, DemocraticLuntz, terrypinder and The Termite hanging out at Netroots Nation in Vegas! Not pictured: DemocraticLuntz, terrypinder and The Termite.
Above: Droogie6655321, earicicle, cskendrick and edscan go out for some tapas during Netroots Nation in Austin, Texas! Not pictured: earicicle and cskendrick. Although that might be edscan in the back. No, along the horizon, dangling from a hangglider.

So many memories.
Wait a tick. I've never been to Netroots Nation! Not even once. These are just sad photos of me by my damn self!
And what's worse, I'm gonna miss yet another. I'll be stuck here in Oral Roberts land with this guy, this guy and Sally freaking Kern.
Lousy wife and kid! Stupid personal responsibility.
So while you're all enjoying each other's company, eating all that fattening Pittsburgh cuisine and downing your lovely microbrews, I hope you'll all choke... just a little bit.
In the meantime, raise your Mojo glasses high, and heap Mojo upon one another like crazed, rutting Mojo Squirrels -- if such things existed!
Here's your Mojo Guidelines:
If you comment you have to recommend all comments. (in order to receive mojo you have to give mojo. It's only good mojo manners.)
Everything you say may be taken as a joke (so if you ask a question, expect a silly answer)
You must recommend the diary (and pimp it unapologetically)
You don't have to comment to recommend.
You can't steal my idea (right, like that ain't goin' to happen)
Please, no pictures or YouTubes until after 300 comments. Now, after 300, use a little common courtesy and be responsible in the number.
Mojo mojo mojo mojo, mojo mojo mojo.
Droogie (that is me) is not bound by the guidelines. Heh
Also, I know for a fact that Netroots For the Troops 2009 is rapidly approaching their fundraising goal for deployed troop care packages. They're shooting for $50,000 this year, and I assume are still taking donations. Here's the link: Donate Here!
Now, Mojo your tiny, arrhythmic hearts out!
