Hi all.. It was a fun time meeting everyone tonight. I’ve got evidence that we are all relatively sane people. 🙂 I have to say that I’m exhausted and a little tipsy, so I’ll not say much, but let the pictures speak for themselves. This is only a few select ones from tonight because I’m too lazy to fix all of the over exposed ones.
We had a great crowd of Tribbers and dKos people. It was great to finally put faces to screennames.
More after the flip:
Our fearless leader, Booman:
CabinGirl and DamitJanet:
RenaRF, MaryScott, BostonJoe, & BrotherFeldspar:
DamitJanet and StevenD:
TeacherKen:
And the CabinBoys got bored, so here’s what they came up with:
cool! thanks!
MLK, thanks so much for doing this! This made our night! It was probably a lot of work — all that photo uploading, saving, copying of URLs, labeling, etc…. I guess the rest of them were too toasted to help you? 🙂
I didn’t have my laptop with me at the bar, so I had to upload everything once I got home. I’ll post more pictures tonight or tomorrow.
That’s quite the shirt there… 🙂
I was going to say the same thing re. the shirt…
everyone looks lovely, surprised/happy to see how everyone looked, I thought cabin girl was a blond, guess I think everyone is a blond. Well Dammit Janet is a blond, but I pictured her as a brunette. lol
Everyone looks like they are having a great time.
DammitJanet-also has the brightest blue eyes and a smile that lights up the room. And she talks REALLY REALLY FAST..lol.
(((((DammitJanet)))))…just in case you read this. 🙂
Me, too, Diane. I’m sorry, but Damnit Janet is supposed to have brown hair and Cabin Girl is supposed to have blond hair. I think they’re trying to fool us.
How come he’s not socializing?
He socialized. I’m pretty sure I have a few other pics of him chatting up other people. I just wanted to get the alone pic up.
Have you looked at the large version? I think he has a pearl earring on his left ear. That, or he’s an agent.
Is that the new Secret Service earplug? AHA– now we know Boo is an agent provacateur!!!
DAMN
I see Martin shares my own embarassing fascination with loud shirts.
I asked him about his shirt on the phone today. He says he put it on over his Boo Tee because of the air conditioning in the bar. (I think he was just tryin’ to look like one wild and crazzzzzzy guy.)
But I can’t, so here is a picture of me, toasting all of you.
Disclaimer: I was not actually toasting you at the time this picture was taken. But I am now. Also, it was at a wedding, I don’t always wear a tux. Image cropped to protect the innocent.
Are you sure you don’t really have an extra hand growing out of your neck? Cuz that would be cool.
Now that you mention it…no, I don’t.
But it would be cool, and now I’m kind of sad about the whole thing.
It looks like that wasn’t your first drink. 😉
I have no idea what you’re talking about 🙂
Yowza-what a hunk!
(hides under sofa)
Keith O.’s gonna have some competition in my dreams tonight — well, that’s what he gets for going on vacation without asking my permission… 😉
I can deal with that, here’s me from two weekends ago:
Disclaimer: The wedding depicted in this picture is not the same event as the one in ejmw’s comment. And yes, I’m toasting all the BooActivists this weekend!
Let Freedom Ring!
Hi ManE..nice to see ya. You and ejmw both look quite handsome.
Agree Choco, we have some mighty handsome men and women on this site.
keep drunk people away from mustard
CabinGirl let her little boys get drunk?!
OMG … no wonder there’s martial law in D.C.
Oh WOW you guys. I been out for the evening and came home to check in at Booman and this is so awesome. Love all youfabulous little activists! GD I wish I had sucked it up and gone too now! Oh well, I am sure there will be many more marches to come and I will be representing Booman here in San Diego.
You guys look so happy(or is that sloshed?lol). Be safe. Can’t wait to hear all about it tomorrow.Peace Out you are all Rock Stars!!!!
I hope to join the SF BMT crew….(cell phones in crowds, argh)…with my East Bay amigos… tommorrow.
be well. and take care.
kid o.
Go get ’em Kid! March Proud and wave the flag. Show them we are not traitors but true Patriots. I printed a banner for tomorrow says:Stop the Lying-Stop the Dying Impeach Bush/Impeach Cheney!
I know we’re supposed to be sensitive to sexual identity, but I can’t help but wonder about the order of people listed in this caption:
MaryScott, BrotherFeldspar, BostonJoe & RenaRF:
Yeah, I spent a little bit of time with that one too.
Brother Feldspar has a nametag, so he’s easy.
I am pretty sure BostonJoe is the guy next to BroFel.
And the woman in the center of the picture appears to be screaming or otherwise impersonating a banshee, so I just assumed that was MaryScott.
Leaving Rena to be the woman with her back to us.
thanks for the analysis, it no doubt saved me countless hours of running Norwegian algorithms… which likely would have been rife with errors.
I’m pretty sure that is MSOC, see certainly seems animated enough, LOL – except I thought her hair was darker brown? (“Only her hairdresser knows for sure”)
That’s how tired I was last night. I’ve changed it now so that it makes sense. Last night I was just typing on autopilot. Now I need coffee before heading out to meet everyone for breakfast.
I am SOO fuckin glad to see you all- -thunderboomers knocked off the power tonight and also my isp- so i wasn’t on til now1:00 AM. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
And– I am tearing up to cry—cause you all look so happy!!!!! BUENO people–BUENO
Booman looks about how I pictured him in my mind. 🙂
…he doesn’t looked stressed enough for someone running a top-notch blog — then again, might’ve just been damn good beer…
He’s wearing a nice undershirt.
We have real Damn Good Beer here in Canada.
Teacher Ken does too! He looks just like a teacher!
and hence no picture with a BooMan, here’s a picture of me with a Blue Man:
That is too funny! Maybe I need to mention the Blue Man Group one week during Jazz Jam? Their homemade instruments are a trip!
except without the beard – that surprised me slightly 😉
You must have missed the previous pic of Boo in a beret, where he looked just like Che Guevera, LOL.
ti comes and it goes
and it helps keep away the sunburn on the soccer field
and btw my shirt commemorates 100 years of Haverfod Soccer. The first intercollegiate soccer game was April 1, 2005 in Cmabridge mass where Haverfod defeated Harvard 1-0. They must have thought it was an April Fool’s joke so two weeks later they came down to our house, only to lose by the same score on April 15.
Not yours, Booman’s !
My father has a beard, and is also a teacher, so you fit some familiar category… But Booman, I must say I did not expect a beard. Oh well, my predictive powers are not so good anyway (I also expected that Kerry would win…)
Re Booman: I remember when my beard was still brown.
🙁
Now my hair looks like Teacher Ken’s, but on a more fat and jolly body, LOL.
Holy Smack!
I clicked on the pictures and and next thing I know there are these huge people staring at my beer!
You are in bar… Get your own beer damnit!
(or maybe the waiter or waitress will bring it to you if you ask nicely?)
Have fun and be safe.
Have fun and be safe.
Deet repels Republicans…so I’ve heard…or maybe that was annoying mosquitos…I always get those two things mixed up…
Man I didn’t realize Booman kinda looked like Brawny man
Lotsa smiles in these pics….
… those smiles, Rub. :o)
ACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK I look so damn terrible, but I wasn’t here for a beauty (booty) pageant 🙂
Not sloshed – just I had been on a plane at 10 pm TH and still haden’t slept by 11 pm FR. LOL
There were about 30 – 40 people there last night.
Susan, I couldn’t hear very last night, so glad I got to say “hi – bye” 🙂
Choc Ink, Boston Joe made sure your banner was signed – will call you from the streets.
I didn’t get a single photo last night – too tired or too busy yapping.
It’s SAT (7 but my body says it’s 4 am) and getting ready to march over to breakfast.
ShyCat, the rooms are fantastic!!!! Booman stayed in one even last night 🙂
Today is going to be a beautiful day.
I think you and everyone looked absolutely lovely-and glad to hear my silly little sign got signed…thanks Boston and everyone who signed it.
If anyone is wondering, Boston Joe contacted me and offered to take me up on my offer of wishing I could somehow send some sort of little banner.. I got a white bandana and wrote on it ‘Go Cheney Yourself’ with love under it and my name, my sister and her husbands name, my two nephews and a friends name. Also had a couple peace signs on it with NO Blood for Oil inside the peace sign.
Chocolate Ink!!! I tried calling but number is busy busy busy – just tried again now “)
what a day – we haven’t eaten since morning, they have snipers on the WH.. Marched with Jesse Jackson and Cindy Sheehan — Joan Biaz singing and The Coup…
I have to go eat… we have some incredible photos. Hope all got home safe and sound. I’ll share the photos tomorrow. Please leat HIgh Acidity know we saw yer billboard 🙂
and please let the pastor Dans know we got their fantastic package!!! I don’t have their phone with me and yahoo is hicuping
Shy Cat, thank you for the rooms, Holiday Inn said they didn’t have any buffet for 20 but they were aslo turning other protetsors away, I tried to talk to them but then trieed to get others fed from other areas.
The march was fantantic – met some wonderful wonderful people. Supersoling, Cabin Girl and Boston Joe – the concert I think is STILL going 😉
BrotherFeldspar we got seperated. So easy to do untill the march got moving.
oh the news says tens of thousands, Biaz says 300,ooo I believe her over the damn news 🙂
Cripes gotta call the kids. So much to share, so many to thank.
Nice shirt Janet!!LOL Where it proud girlfriend. Did you tell Boo I sent it to you? He wanted to be sure someone of outstanding character got it!
