Re: Froggy Bottom Cafe Lounge (4.00 / 8)

hey everyone, just wanted to drop a quick note of thanks for your support with the DfA scholarships to Netroots Nation. I got a call a couple of days ago that I was selected. I'm looking forward to going to Austin and, hopefully, seeing some of you!

Re: Froggy Bottom Cafe Lounge (4.00 / 8)

This is such great news!

We're counting on you to live up to the reputation of boran2. He was a party animal in Las Vegas. A party animal I tell you.

This is making me much more excited about the idea of NN this year.

Re: Froggy Bottom Cafe Lounge (4.00 / 6)

heh, I bet he was - you should have seen the effects of the Sedona vortex on him last summer. Wild, I say, Wild ;)

I'm excited to finally get to meet you. We can test out some of those drink recipes that I have flogged over the years in the lounge. jejeje

You should come. We could have a good time. We could skip all of the big name blogger stuff (or go and make fun of them) and just hang out.

The Hilton Austin. (That's the convention hotel.)

If you keep your eyes open at DailyKos there is usually someone selling their registration to the convention that they bought when it was cheaper.

Just think ... Manny ....

and me too of course. And hopefully CG. And Boo. But I know the three of us combined don't rise to the level of Manny. :)

I wonder if Fabooj is going again this year?

Re: Froggy Bottom Cafe Lounge (4.00 / 6)

that can be arranged. there is a precedent already established for mask-wearing.

Totally OT, but (4.00 / 8)

I wanted to say thanks again for your activated charcoal idea. This finally arrived in my mail today, and after being in the car for an hour, the decaying animal smell of the ground turkey is GONE! I feel like I should be their spokesperson or something.

And now I'm starting to want to go to Netroots Nation too...

wow (4.00 / 7)

that was really FAST. I'm glad it worked.

But now you won't be able to justify buying a vespa?

Yeah - having Manny there is making all the difference in my frame of mind. Especially when Austin will seem COOL to him. Except for the humidity ... so maybe it will still be ok to complain about the heat.

Did you see Carnacki got a scholarship too?

I wish Refinish had gotten one. I'm hoping he has a Plan B. Since he's local it would be wrong for him to miss it.

Re: wow (4.00 / 6)

i hear they're working on getting local bloggers squared away to be able to attend. i really hope it works out and refinish can be there.

i'd still like to get together with him if he's unable to make it to the conference. will see what happens over the next couple of weeks.
