| A huge MichLib thanks goes out to all of our bloggers, friends, supporters, and lurkers who joined us this evening in Lansing at 621 to raise a pint with us. The Uni-blogger (a.k.a. Eric B.) who made the trek down from Mt. Pleasant was joined by other travelers at our event, including some who came from Muskgeon and SE area. We were honored to have them make the trip just to join us. We were also honored to have friends and supporters from the labor, environmental, and social justice communities stop by and join in the fun. Of course that doesn't include our friends and allies from the Senate and House and our own Numbers Guru - Mark Grebner, all of whom joined us in celebration. Many thanks to JPowers155 for helping wrangle the Uni-blogger and act as the party planner, and to fellow front-pagers BZP, Rich, and LPackard for a fantastic time with all of our friends. For inquiring minds, I'm here to make the official report that there were no inflatable dolls, there wasn't a speck of Amway Product anywhere, despite repeated attempts the dear departed Gov. Hazen Pingree was no where to be found, Black Earl may or may not have appeared, and yes, there was Star Trek conversation (but for the record I did not participate!). What there was a fun time had by all, excellent food and drink provided by the fantastic staff at 621, and talk about our next gathering, to be determined. Thanks to all who attended, and for those of you who couldn't join us, you were there in spirit! |
