I’m going to call it a party so that we all remember that this is supposed to be a fun evening of getting to know each other and respectful discussion.

When: Tuesday June, 12th 5:30 pm until about 8:00 pm

Where: Dave’s Taverna rooftop (weather permitting). If its raining we’ll be inside.

    When I’m drinking light it’s New Casle or an Irish Red when I want a good full flavor beer I drink a Guinness. Pilsner is not typically my thing.

  16. Had some pretty depressing news this weekend. One of my tenants that just moved in my apartments is stiffing me and moving out. If anyone knows someone that needs a great 1 bedroom in downtown Harrisonburg…tell them to call me. I’m not sure what possessed me to rent apartments and add one more stress to my life!!

  23. Although it sucks that I’m not going to be there, I do think it’s really awesome that Arin Sime is going to be there. Nice to see a candidate take some time out to meet and mingle with a bunch of bloggers and so forth.

    Now I really wish I could be there.

  24. Not to mention, I’d meet a bunch of people I talk to on the internet or via blogs all the time.

    I think the only person out of that whole list that I’ve met in person is Finnegan, and that was just on Friday.
