The Saturday Koscadia meetup took place at the Lucky Lab on Hawthorne. Apologies to anyone who didn't get the location change update and who showed up at Creston Park instead.

It was a lively group who did show up, and I think that the LL turned out to be a great venue for the meetup. At noon it wasn't too crowded and we were able to grab several large tables. The food, beer, and ginger ale were excellent. Loggersbrat brought chestnut flour brownies, pdxteacher made oatmeal-raisin cookies, and oregongal provided a tub of yummy fresh goat cheese.

In attendance were: quill, pdxteacher (my spouse), bluejessimine, oregon gal, cedwyn (and friend Matt), markdd, loggersbrat, and bluesophie (who arrived later and missed the group photo).

One thing that I really like about these meetups is that it seems like we meet new people every time. In this case, almost everybody was a new face, with a nice mix of regulars, and new folks.

Thanks to Horace Boothroyd III for help with organizing, and Blue Jessamine for taking most of the pictures.

Hi folks, it's looking like the weather won't cooperate with us for a potluck picnic tomorrow. I think that we could deal with a little rain (tarp/awning), but it will be 50 degrees and 10-15 MPH winds, which probably will not be very fun.

So how about we meet at the Lucky Lab on Hawthorne instead?

Time: NOON

Location:
The Lucky Lab Brewpub
915 SE Hawthorne Blvd.Portland, OR 97214
(503) 236-3555

How will you find us? Look for Horace with his rainbow peace flag!

Hey everybody! It's been a while since the last meetup, so what do you say we all get together this Saturday?

Horace suggested a potluck in Creston Park, so let's go with that. In case the weather intervenes (currently a 50% chance of rain on Sat), perhaps we can switch to the Hopworks Urban Brewery?

There's been a lot of angst, meta and finger pointing today about the current "tone" of DKos. I gather some people think that there has been too much criticism here of Obama and the Democrats, who we have elected to serve us. I have actually noticed this too, and not just in user diaries: the FP articles are quite a bit more punchy and progressive in orientation. Frankly, I think it's a breath of fresh air and about damn time for this site to re-orient back towards being a source of progressive pressure, and away from the Democratic Party cheerleading squad we saw leading up to the election.
