No FPers (as far as I know) will be there but Yutsano and some other commenters will. Here’s the details.
I’ll post on this again as the day grows nearer.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.
Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.
Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?
Republicans do not pay their debts.
Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?
But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.
Damn right I heard that as a threat.
Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?
Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.
Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.
Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?
If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.
It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.
Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.
It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!
Black Jesus loves a paper trail.
If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!
The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.
Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.
No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.
Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.
Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers
Nothing worth doing is easy.
Giving up is unforgivable.
Yutsano
Mille grazie!!
demimondian
Regrettably, I won’t be able to make it — I’ll be taking FDDD to the airport.
Southern Beale
Awww I’m going to miss you guys! The Mister and I will raise a glass and remember when we met everyone last summer!

I’d love it if there was one in Austin, Texas, some day. I don’t know how many commenters live there, but I know of at least one. Just don’t do it next week. SXSW.
Comrade Mary
There will be pictures?
Warren Terra
Any momentum for a SoCal meetup?
Felinious Wench
How many of us are in the Houston area?

@Warren Terra:
I could do that. Tough to find a good spot when we’re spread out from the Westside to Pasadena to OC to God knows where else.
Soonergrunt
It’s a long way to Seattle from OKC. Sorry.
burnspbesq
@Soonergrunt:
I saw what you did there, and it’s realllly cold.
opie jeanne
We’ll try to make it. We should have recovered from all of the birthday hangovers by then, but we have to take the youngest to the airport the next morning. She’s heading to Japan and probably won’t be back until September.

I know there are several other Pittsburghers here, other than Tim F. and I. I have been agitating for a Pittsburgh meet-up. Kay says she might be able to make it since her daughter is living here.
HEY YINZERS! LET’S DO IT!
MikeJ
If you’re putting together a meetup elsewhere, yell at me and I’ll put up a post on the meetjuicers blog for you.
pragmatism
Yes to SoCal meet.
Mr Stagger Lee
I may make it, sounds good.
gwangung
Will at least show my face…depends on how necessary is showing my face at a show,,,,
Spaghetti Lee
Yeah, can’t get to Seattle, but have fun and post pics, all who will be there! And again, if there’s enough momentum for one within walking distance of my apartment in Columbia Missouri, I am SO there!
Yutsano
I just reserved a table for 10 under Balloon Juice. I figure we can make adjustments as necessary. WOOT!!
MikeJ
@Spaghetti Lee: I got a free ride in a police car for drinking underage at the Blue Note there once.
Yutsano
@MikeJ: One of these days you’re gonna have to explain to me how you’re still breathing.
Oh and bring bread if you have any made!
YellowJournalism
Wish I was visiting the home state. Have fun!
Linnaeus
Can’t make it. I’m in Friday Harbor this weekend.
Citizen_X
(Raises hand) I is!

You work in the federal building across the street. Heh. My friend tells me that Sazerac was the hip place for geeks with signing bonuses in the 90’s. We went back this year and it was a bit slow. But that means you can hear people.

@Soonergrunt: @burnspbesq: Thanks Burnsie for noticing. However, SG, you can keep ’em. The Sonics exit cleared a lot of space (and tech money) for the Sounders, and that has been one amazing successful franchise launch.
Yutsano
@dollared: Ain’t that the truth. This place has taken to sociallist football like nobody’s business. And I don’t think many here are missing the Sonics beyond the rich folk who made money off the rubes. I’m also biased against NBA basketball, in the interests of full disclosure.

When are we in N. Cal going to get one of these?
Toranados is just begging for us to do it there.

Planning to be there!
