Blue Hampshire Bash

by: Dean Barker

Wed Aug 12, 2009 at 22:37:01 PM EDT


(Bumped again. - promoted by Dean Barker)

If you're going to the Blue Hampshire Bash tomorrow, we'd love to know, so that Hermanos can get a head count on approximate numbers. So if you think you can come, RSVP to this spiffy new email addy created just for this purpose (BEFORE 10PM TONIGHT PLEASE):
bluehampshirebash AT gmail DOT com
Also, don't be shy about adding any dietary restrictions (vegan, etc...) to the email so we can give the restaurant a head's up if need be. And here are the aforementioned details, with some new detail on the details:
When: Monday, 24 August, 4-7pm (music from 4-5, food from 5-7)
Where: Hermanos Cocina Mexicana, 11 Hills Avenue, Concord
Price: $7.75 per person for the incredibly delicious food.

Sunday Update: Some final detail good news, bad news.  The good is that our special guests include US Reps. Carol Shea-Porter and Paul Hodes, NH-02 congressional candidates Rep. John DeJoie and Anne Kuster, and DailyKos founder Markos Moulitsas ZĂșniga.

The Monitor today, btw, sat down with Markos. A snippet:

Mandating health insurance without a public plan will turn off young voters, Zuniga said. "Imagine you're 25 years old, suddenly the government is demanding you spend $500 to $1,000 a month on health insurance without mechanisms to keep costs down," he said. "I think you'll see a bitter, angry, hostile reception from younger Americans."

And don't forget to walk on over to Gibson's for Kos' talk and book signing right after the bash.

The bad news is that due to being out of state on family business for the last couple of weeks, I won't have a BH t-shirt to unveil at the party.  However, I'm still working on it, and I suspect we'll be able to offer one (or possibly more than one design) fairly soon.

Many thanks to Jack, Jon, and Beth for handling the bash details in my absence, and looking forward to seeing you all.

Sorry, Burt (4.00 / 1)
Would love to have a beer with you, but I moved down to Maryland in 2003 after 8+ years in the Granite State.  Am an ex-pat now.  But if you want to join me in walking a canvassing route for Paul (et. al.) in the fall of 2010, I'd be honored to be your partner.

And, for the record, I do NOT consider you a "nemesis" -- have given you far more "4s" than "0s".  But when you slam fellow Democrats with inaccurate and unjustified slurs, I will always respond. :)

BTW. . . . If you're so curious about my identity, just ask me.  I have nothing to hide.


[ Parent ]
The link at the top was an email address (0.00 / 0)
to which one should reply if one planned to attend the Bash.  However, some of us either ignored that or have reading issues.. (razzzzberries)!

No sweat, Burt, I've added your name to the list.

Why do you say socialism like it's a bad thing?

You owe me Buckley..
