Note from ace party-planner CaseyL:
The Seattle GOTV Postcard Meetup is this Sunday Feb 16 at 12:30, at the Elliott Bay Brewery in Lake City.
Would it be possible for you to post a reminder about it?
There was talk, when this was announced, of doing simultaneous postcard-writing meetups in other cities. This would be a good place to leave a comment, if you’d like to arrange one of those meetups!

If I wasn’t watching the dogs for my parents, I ALMOST could have gotten away with going. Dammit!

I want to take this opportunity to remind people that all the details about the meetup are under Balloon Juice Meetups under Calling All Jackals in the sidebar. (In the hamburger on mobile.)
Here’s the link in case anyone is feeling lazy.

For all Florida BJ’ers.
City of Bartow is hosting a street fair SyFy for science fiction/fantasy/comic book fans this Saturday February 15th.
There should be at least one Jedi Librarian selling books for the local library’s Friends group.
Ohio Mom
A little off-topic:
A while back, someone said they and their spouse were driving through Ohio sometime during the summer, and the consensus on the thread was, Great! We’ll have an Ohio-wide meet-up in Columbus when you’re here!
Does anyone remember who it was who will be driving through Ohio? Because that is essential info for me to do any planning.

@WaterGirl: Is there an easier way to get there?
CaseyL
Thanks for the post, AL!
Looking forward to seeing Seattle BJ Regulars and maybe some new folks.
Yutsano, I’d say bring the dogs,but EBB may beg to differ : (

@CaseyL: Two border collies, two mini Dachshunds, none leash trained? That won’t go well LMAO. Ah well. It’s most likely I’ll be over some time in March although that’s not set in stone.

@Baud: Click Watergirl’s link with your mind?

CaseyL and I are bringing the writing supplies to the meetup. I just received the addresses… and we’re going to be writing to Florida! FL jackals, it’s an honor to help flip your state to blue.
We’ll have a laptop or two on hand, for looking up info on the PtoV website; feel free to bring your own as well.
If anyone wants to write solo, from other parts of the planet, here’s the link at which you can find sign-up info and FAQ:

FYI, I am in love with whoever wrote their FAQ. It is so *methodical*. :-)
Looking forward to socializing and writing with y’all on Sunday….

@H.E.Wolf: When I think about falling in love, I have to say “methodical” is not something that readily comes to mind.

@WaterGirl: Looks like I’ll be on the wrong end of the west coast this weekend. Bummer – hope to catch some or all of you next time!
opiejeanne
@H.E.Wolf: We’ll both be there, and I’m bringing some colored pens and some postcards that I thought would be great for this.
opiejeanne
@WaterGirl: Yes! mr opiejeanne and myself!
H.E.Wolf
Hee hee! Well… there’s a pot for every lid, right? :) And when I’m tackling a complex project with many moving parts, methodical is exactly what I’m looking for.
H.E.Wolf
Wonderful! See you on Sunday!
H.E.Wolf
@Brooklyn Dodger:
Likewise! In the meantime, have fun down south.
CaseyL
@WaterGirl: Opiejeanne and Mr. Opiejeanne, too.

Due to work and moving back to Seattle, my status has slipped to “maybe”. :(
H.E.Wolf
@thalarctosMaritimus:
Understood if you can’t (that’s what rainchecks are for)… and if you can do a quick fly-by, it will be great to see you!
Best wishes for the move….
TXSWEDE
I get that Seattle is more lib-loaded than Dallas or Fort Worth, but can you guys please do one here so I can meet y’all?
H.E.Wolf
I wish the commute were shorter – we’d love to meet you, too! If you ever get out this way, let us know….
