I sure hope we get to see that party. It would be good for us and the rest of the country.
I'm not sure what you're referring to here, but I did mean to reply the other day to your comment about having lunch with Jim White and the idea of a get-together at Yearly Kos.
After the first Yearly Kos, I probably wouldn't recommended that people go. I just wasn't all that impressed by it. But last year's was considerably better in terms of the speakers, the events, the people attending, etc., and although it had a lot of organizational problems -- it was in the worst possible hotel, this sprawling, airport-like metal and glass small city in a really boring part of Chicago -- there was really a lot to commend it, particularly the quality of the speakers, events, attendees, etc.
Austin is probably a great place for it to be and I think they've learned from last year's mistakes, so it ought to be better. Anyone interesting in going would probably enjoy it and it would be great to meet people and have some sort of get-together for anyone who wanted to go.
