Barbarians, Assemble!





Summer is here with the smell of BBQ in the air. And the first ever Barbarian Convention in Virginia area will be taking place.

I'll be donning the hat of a community organizer, so to speak. I'm compiling a list of names, dates and places of where people would like to meet. If you are interested in going, please email me at: dcore42@gmail.com.

I've been to a couple of these before -- for another website*, not C4P -- and they have been lots of fun. Always enjoyable meeting the fellow commenters and putting faces to the names.

UPDATE: The last meet up was a themed event. The instructions where to dress up as the typical Obama voter. The results speak for themselves.

*Ace of Spades, if you really must know.

Lorna,

Did you see my message in the thread below?

OT: I may be late on this one, but I stumbled upon a Hot Air post re: more mean-spirited Trig photos. No need for C4P to call extra attention to the site (Wonkette), but it's a good reminder that there is some persistent hate/spite out there. What a daunting task to combat it all.

Pathetic.

All that is good in life is to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their campaign strategists.

Ace has Valu-Rite Vodka for refreshments and hobo hunting for entertainment, if I remember correctly. What do Ordinary Barbarians drink and... do? *g*

just saw it now Tommy! sorries :/

and just tweeted Malek bout it!

I could really go for a cinnamon raisin bagel right now. It's those middle of the night can't sleep munchies that'll get you every time. Actually, blueberry bagel sounds better. Of which I have neither.

Thanks RAM *sigh*

LAW July 1, 2009 4:53 AM  

Btw RAM,

I noticed you've been hunting Alaskan Varmint the last couple of days. Do you mind me asking what's the going rate for a moth-eaten pelt?

Nicely done.

AKReport July 1, 2009 4:57 AM  

OT-just got back from mexico :)

Just Sayin July 1, 2009 5:07 AM  

Sweet.

Question: RAM, When are we having the Barbarian meet up for CALI!!!??

I'll make it up to LA for that haha

So, what you are trying to write is that you have no "actual responsibilities", unlike a small- town mayor. LOL.

I am on the West Coast, so I doubt that I would be able to make it. But, I hope that it will be fun.

DaveC,
You're a busy boy! I feel lucky to live so close to a community organizer. You already have my Moron meet-up info and secret Delta Chi name, so count me in on the Barbarian Bash. And to everyone else, if you don't have any C4P gear, stock up before your respective (notice I didn't say respectable!) gatherings.

Dave C July 1, 2009 8:44 AM  

Yeah.. I'm combining the two.. :)

TangledThorns July 1, 2009 9:45 AM  

I live in Reston, VA!!

howIroll July 1, 2009 10:10 AM  

Dave, NoVA, please. I'm in Alexandria and will hit up Einstein Bros. For the bagels.

I had been wondering where you were! Glad you're back, hope Mexico was lovely. :)

Missouri4Palin July 1, 2009 12:54 PM  

If there is anyway to have an Internet feed to the barbarian convention, I would like to tune in.
I wake up every morning thankful for RAM, JR, and the rest of you brainiac bloggers. :)

Dave C July 1, 2009 12:57 PM  

I will bring a camera and post pictures later for the event.

Rillot July 1, 2009 1:17 PM  

I will not be there, but will hold my own meeting of one in Spain. Remember the overseas foreign barbarians when you raise your glasses!

Doug (formerly DB) July 1, 2009 1:18 PM  

I would certainly be into meeting up with my fellow C4Pers but it would have to be in the NE Ohio/NW PA area. I'm not sure if there are any around here though besides me.

Brianus Berkleianus July 1, 2009 3:25 PM  

Count me in for a California/Western-US gathering!!

Brianus/Brian

I'd love a Southern C4P gathering sometime. Nashville is touted as being centrally located for about 60% of the country. . . just a thought.
