Another meet up among dkos folks! The many people who show up, the requisite food porn, the many smiling faces.
Of course, i’m not talking about our meet up ….…
A few days ago, I posted a diary about just recently moving to the Williamsburg, Virginia area and asked if there were any fellow dkos people in the vicinity. One single brave soul, spacemanspiff23, raised his hand and we arranged to meet. He came with his spouse and the three of us had a cup of coffee in a crowded Starbucks. (It was the first time i’ve been in a Starbucks, but that’s a whole ‘nother story.)
So you think your hoity toity meet ups, with your dozen people and your one course meals are good, don’t you? You share pictures of good looking food and tables full of people. Well let me tell you: the Mighty Williamsburg Three have you beat. We may be small, but we’re strong, committed and unstoppable. We haven’t gotten to the point of figuring out what we’re going to do next, but whatever it is, we’ll be unstoppable at doing it. From little acorns ...
Since i’m new to the area, they described the Williamsburg demographic, which is dominated by the College of William and Mary, and by multiple armed services bases. In 2012 the district voted for Romney 53% to Obama’s 45%. Williamsburg is the southern tip of the Congressional District No. 1, along with Jamestown and Yorktown. A very historic place, steeped in the culture of the College, and the special character of the military bases
Progressives are quite definitely in the minority, but we look forward to networking with other progressives around here to meet, to encourage each other, and to get actively involved with the 2016 campaign
So this is the Mighty Williamsburg Three. Spacemanspiff23 and spouse were wonderful, interesting, fun to talk to,, and just all around good people. i’m so excited to have been able to spend some time with them.
And since this is a meetup diary, there is the requisite photo of trendy and colorful footwear:
You may have needed sunglasses to deal with the bright colors. I apologize for not providing a warning of the brightness.
Lastly, it goes without saying that we have food porn !!
Eat your hearts out, all you foodies.
