April 27 BlueNC Blogger Bash RSVP Thread

Submitted by Betsy Muse on




It's getting close to that time. I've almost finished emailing all of the candidates and should start hearing back from them soon. James says he has things covered on his end, so let's start getting a head count for BlueNC's first ever Blogger Bash. Leave your RSVP in the comments and let us know how many adults and how many kids 18 and under you will have in your party.

Treat it like an open house - no need to commit to the entire event if you have other plans. I'll post more information as it comes available. Questions? Ask them in the comments as well.

Betsy + 3

Submitted by Betsy Muse on

I'm bringing three with me, but I have to pay for the boy because he eats enough for two adults. I should know. I've been feeding him 3-4 nights a week since Katie started dating him. We're coming early to walk around campus. They all three want to go to Carolina.

The whole crew will be there. If I can persuade them. And we're all over 18. 1 by a few months, the rest will remain a mystery.

Steve + 2 vegetarians

Actually, one of them is a fishetarian, but I'm not sure if that makes a difference at a BBQ. ;)

Submitted by nineof12 on

I believe is the vegetarian plus fish term, just fyi.

me and kid/vegetarians

Submitted by chun yang on

My son is nine but eats like a teen, so we will both pay. Let us know what we can bring to make it easier.

It might be possible for my husband to attend, but he is wildly busy with work so I won't count on it. I had to run my son's birthday party alone yesterday.

I don't speak for the campaign, but I asked about that date and think Jim Neal has several other commitments that day.

I'm almost positive he can find someone to stand in

Submitted by Betsy Muse on

as a surrogate. It's not like he isn't wildly popular in these parts. :D

I'm so glad I stumbled on to this notice at Pam's place. I've been wanting to meet the local progressive bloggers since I arrived here.

Barring any unforeseen emergencies, I'm looking forward to attending.

I might add that I'm happy to discover this blog as well. I don't get around Blogtopia that much anymore but this looks like a great community. I'll be trying to participate here as time permits. I'll definitely put you on the blogroll at my personal blog so I remember to check in.

Try to be there, but have to leave early

Submitted by LiberalNC on

I'll show up for the first hour and a half or so. I have tickets to see Springsteen that same evening in Charlotte.
It'll be just me.

Since we have this thing right before the primary, do we have security on hand in case fists start flying?

No...just little ol' me

Submitted by Betsy Muse on

...but I can be mighty fierce if I have to be. :D

You'd better be.

Submitted by Linda on

Between Betsy and me, you don't stand a chance. I promise you.

Unless you cough up the Springsteen tickets. Then we'll talk. (I hear this tour he's fantastic.)

Don't worry Max

I'm a paradox. I don't eat meat but I can get all the meat off a chicken, make the best broth, and cook the best steak and burgers on the grill. I'll save more than the bones for you.

Know what ya mean Greg,

Submitted by momoaizo on

hate crab and lobster (Dad's a Maine-iac) and has a lobsta boat....I can pick more meat outta them than anyone I know. But then, I'm not "sampling" while I'm working! :)

Submitted by Jay Ovittore on

I will be there plus my wonderful better half! Did somebody say "Q"? I have to say that Ed Ridpath hit it on the head, BBQ is candidate bait and I am sure glad to see so many of us hooked! Looking forward to it. Always lots of fun when we bloggers put faces with names.
