Picnic area has huge oaks super shady and right across from the great lawn

Yes, it's summer. Time for picnics, beer and meeting old and new friends. So ... we’re having a meetup! Everyone is invited.  It’s a picnic so bring family and friends.
When:  Saturday June 9 (yes, that’s next Saturday)
Time:   From Noon - Five (so no reason you can't stop by at least for a while)
Where:  Tower Grove Park (see below for picnic area locations)

 Duckhunter volunteered to man a grill if anyone wants to grill. Techiechick is coming, JeniferA is coming.  Standingup is coming.  I’ll be there.  Aabashier hopes to come when his shift is over at 2:00.  And others will be there too.

I hope you all can make it!  If you are interested and think you might come, drop me an e-mail and give me an idea of how many, what you’ll bring etc.  OR put it in the comments.

The picnic area we’ve reserved is the Gus Fogt Picnic Area  between #'s 24 and 25 on the map.

And if anybody feels like doing another diary, please do. You folks are much more creative than me.

This is my first diary.  I did not see that anyone had posted on this.  I wanted to put something up because these small victories will add-up.  I'm sorry but the Chronicle is password protected, that's where I have been following the story, so no good links. This was a big issue for academe, not for political reasons but rather historical.  Raw Story covered it and I'm sure all of you know how to use the tubes to finde out more.  I cannot stick around long for discussion, if there is any. Sorry about that too.

Yesterday the House overwhelmingly passed the Presidential Records Amendments of 2007 (HR1255).
