    At last. A little recognition for the City on a Mound (probably can’t tell when flying over :)) I’m a lurker and occasional giver of brilliant, insightful and thought-provoking commentary* [starting sometime around the Fountain Hills, AZ Garbage Contract Wars (ca. 2 aught and 10)]. I would be open to being invited.

    *I have taught my dog to bark this at me.

    I would love to do this, but I am not going to be in town on February 28. Can we have another one sometime?

    “BC in Illinois” actually lives in St Louis County (since the Obama administration).
    I would be interested — and available anytime after 7:30pm.

    So what is it about Wed. nights in St. Louis? I too am already committed to another activity next Wed. Catch you next time you are in town Steve in the ATL. In the meantime, while I am not a particularly great people organizer if one of the other St Louis folks wants to take on that mantle I will make every effort to be present at whatever time & place winds up getting scheduled.

    In the meantime, when Quinerly returns, maybe we will do a meet up in the greater St Louis area.
