What a great meetup! The weather gods smiled upon us (or more accurately didn't dump upon us) and it was a wonderful day! Follow me below the orange cloud:
First and foremost kudos and a job well done to brillig and mik! Thank you for being gracious and giving hosts! It was a perfect day, no rain (or tornadoes), an occasional breeze to lighten the humidity and great food and conversation were had by all. Folks in attendance were:brillig, mik, K1, K2, Simple, nhox42, Ed Tracey, GreyHawk, Kathy, TrueBlueMajority, theKgirls, Bill in Portland Maine, Common Sense Mainer, mayim, dtheo, RubDMC, AnotherMassachusettsLiberal, Debbie in ME, ialonelady, CwV, sardonyx, Noor B, Andy, James and Alex.
Amazing food was brought by all and enjoyed by everyone, including my face :)
Conversations ranged from the current governors races in Maine and Massachusetts to local politics in the Melrose area, volcanoes in Iceland and of course Game Of Thrones made an appearance :)
And here is the motley crew:
For the icing on the cake, after driving back to Maine through a couple of torrential downpours, here is the universe's opinion of how the day went (and no, I didn't take the picture while driving! mayim was kind enough to do the honors there. Thanks mayim!):
To sum it all up, if you can get to one of our (or any!) Kossack meetup, don't miss the opportunity- we are welcoming folk and love to see all Kossacks face to face!
Looking forward to the next one (and yes, brillig and I are already working on it :),
