Twin Cities mini-meetup

This pic was from early June when Dan Condon was conferencing in the Twin Cities. Good times were had at the Chambers Hotel Restaurant. Topics discussed: the Pat Griffin transcripts from the Lewinsky investigation, and Paul Schmitz' morning wood. It was a lifechanging conversation, fer shure.

PA Staff Alum Caucus

It's me Sheila BD from San Jose.

Last night some truly old skool PAers got together in Chi-town!
I was in town with the BlogHer conference (I know I am such a geek) and gave Leif and Beth Ann a call and we met for a few beverages.
It was like old times and it has amped us up for the upcoming ataff alum gathering.

After Beth Ann and I ignored Leif's idea of going camping, we came up with a few thoughts:
* What do we call this? A meeting, a gathering, a retreat, an unconference? We like Caucus! When do you ever get to use that word anyway. My personal suggestion - we call it the EX-TRA-VA-GANZA!
* Where do we have it? We think it should be somewhere where no one has to play host - that is no city with a PA site, or where someone lives. It should also be easy to get to by plane or car. (Bummer, that rules out Hawaii) It should be central.

Our brilliant suggestion: Memphis! Yeah Memphis - "One of America's friendliest cities..." according to USA Today.
The home of Graceland and the "Museum of Rock and Soul" - who knew that?

Great music, should be cheap and we've never been there.
What do you all think???

Who is in charge of this? - I volunteer to help plan the party aspect of this....

Okay that is all from us for now, can't wait to hear what you all think!

Shibooya, Shibooya, Shibooya roll call...

This blog is intended be a place for PA Staff alumni to reconnect and conspire to put together a PA Staff reunion. Feel free to post ideas, shout-outs, and pics. Also, feel free to pass the link on to any other staff alum.

I figure this'll be a cleaner way to communicate than the relentless e-mails.
