It's time for our quarterly gathering, folks! This one will focus on the upcoming primaries. (local, state, and national) It will also serve as the monthly BlogTogether meet-up, so this is a great chance to meet some local bloggers.
This will be our last Happy Hour before the May primary so let's see if we can get some candidates to join us. Any suggestions for location?

Wow, that was fun
Thanks to everyone who came. Especially elected officials Mark Chilton and Ed Harrison, and judicial candidate Glenn Gerding. It was great to have some cross-pollination with the BlogTogether folks, we may have to do that again.
See you in June!
... and entirely painless
(Meant to post this earlier, but all that fine construction over at Greenbridge knocked out my power for the second time this week)
I hate to make a "me too" variety response, because I'm sure I do enough of that already. But I definitely want to encourage anyone, particularly those of you who are readers but who don't post regularly, to show up at the next happy hour. It was great to be able to put some faces to names for those of you who I had never met in person before, and to see some familiar faces too!
