What a difference a week makes!
We now have an official Daily Kos group banner for the Motor City Kossacks--please go take a look. (Sorry, I don't have the code to embed the banner itself here.) Many thanks to navajo for her design work on our behalf!
I'm also happy to report a reasonably strong response for our proposed meet-up during the broadcast of the public Inauguration ceremony, next Monday, January 21st, starting at approximately 11:00 AM.
Sometime in the next couple of days, surelyujest will be making reservations on our behalf at Pasquale’s, a family Italian restaurant on Woodward Ave. near Normandy (13 ½ Mile) in Royal Oak.
Right now, our count of YESes is up to 14:
1. BFSkinner
2. Brainwrap
3. dkmich
4. DuzT
5. Inspired by Nature

10. Neon Vincent

(edited to reflect info from comments)
New RSVPs are still welcome of course; in fact, you can just show up if you really can't tell ahead of time (though to let us know you'd be a MAYBE would help).
OH, I almost forgot! tgypsy had a great idea the other day:
We should do a combo Motor City/Central (9+ / 0-)
Valley liveblog - both groups are having meet ups to watch the inauguration. Could be fun!
What do you think? I suspect Pasquale's has free wi-fi. That might indeed be a lot of fun for all parties concerned. And/or, maybe we could Skype?! Just an idea--do please comment below.
A couple more requests from me:
I need to hear from FOUR of you regarding the disclosure of information to the Motor City Kossacks group. Please check your Kosmail to see if you have a recent message from me in this regard (subject line: "Confirming (contact) information share with Motor City Kossacks" or something quite similar), and then please respond if you haven't already. It's possible the Kosmail was lost, too, and if you didn't get this one I'll happily resend it.
Also, I am SURE there are still lots of Kossacks in SE MI who have not yet joined the group. Please Kosmail me for an invitation if you are interested.
