Tex Kos Statewide Meet-up Photo Tease
We had a fantastic day. I'm so glad I flew out for this event. I met so many enthusiastic Texan Kossacks who made their way to Austin to connect with fellow Daily Kos readers. The conversation din in the room was deafening. It was terrific to see people meeting each other and exchanging contact information. Some spoke of feeling so alone in a sea of red and now they have an actual life-line to like minded progressives. It was very rewarding and made my heart soar to be at this event.
Kudos to papa manzano, teknohed, Mrs. teknohed, nomandates, ChrisLove (and his BF Louis, our official photographer) for making this gathering happen.
And a special thanks to belinda ridgewood for flying from the East Coast to join me in supporting this special meet-up.
ChrisLove is going to put together a massive photo diary at his convenience. It will be a group effort with input from the organizers and other photographers from the event. We'll provide a more thorough recap of this most excellent day. Stay tuned.
papa manzano printed his Tex Kos Inaugural Gathering logo on foam core board for all to sign. He also made tee shirts with the logo. Many of us happily pre-ordered them.
