Where Will You Be On August 1, 2009?

I’ve polled readers. It seems the best date for a RedState get together in Georgia will be August 1, 2009.

I have no details and have made no plans. I have no idea how many people will wind up coming. I’ll work on some way for people to register. If we have a lot, we’ll make it a full day affair with some productive people coming to speak — that’s my hope.

But mark your calendar for August 1, 2009. Let’s get the RedState Army together in Atlanta on that day — and yes, let’s do Atlanta because some folks want to fly in and Atlanta is more convenient as a result.

I’ll find a hotel with a good bar or a good bar within walking distance.

Consider this an open thread.

You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness.

I haven't had a vacation in 3 years.

It would be fun. Of course, I’m retired, so vacations are sort of self-imposed changes of location.

“The press is so powerful in its image-making role that it can make a criminal look like he’s the victim and make the victim look like he’s the criminal. If you aren’t careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”– Malcolm X, Audubon Ballroom, December 13, 1964

I'll be there

Would not miss it. I mean how far is too far to fly, to meet Jaded anyway?

I should have spoken up sooner, because August 1 is the closest thing I have to an anniversary currently, so I’m sure that I’ll have other plans that day.

Let’s get down to brass tacks here. How much for the ape?

Count me in.

and bring the significant other for a trip to Georgia in August. Are people who have only written a few diaries excluded from this trip?

On a good note, 24 is getting interesting, Jeanine getting too close to Chloe.

let's party in Atlanta

Let’s have the best red state conservative gathering in the USA. Watch the HBO series on John Adams and Mel Gibsons’ “The Patriot” to get warmed up. From The Patriot: “An elected legislature can trample a mans’ rights as easily as a king.”

From “John Adams”: The tree of liberty must be watered from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.” Quote from Thomas Jefferson.

I wonder is Napalitano will send her goon squad and the FBI to spy or video tape the event. Maybe by the time August 1 comes Napalitano will have resigned in disgrace.

Will not be able to go, but for a good reason

My wife and I recently (as of yesterday) learned that we may be adopting a child. This child has yet to be born, and we are hoping that all goes well. If it does, this child will be 3 months old or so by August. I don’t think I want to travel with a 3 year old, and a 3 month old, much less leave my wife with said children.

Send me pictures, or video, or something. I’m sure no one will mind me missing, as I am living conservatism by this action, but more importantly, I’m living my Christianity.

When the details have been worked out, I’ll post here.

99% chance I will not be there. 1% I can pull some kinda miracle out of my back side.

1-21-09 – We are so screwed… Wait… maybe not just yet.

I likely won't make it

With a little luck, I’ll be on the field of battle breaking heads with a rattan “sword” at Pennsic on the 1st.

Are you still planning on an hour north of town? Let me know if you need some help identifying some good hotels in the area.

I need a vacation and georgia sounds good to me.

Watch for my carbon foot print from Indiana to georgia in my crossover. Georgia is going to be pretty hot then,cold beer and warm conversation,that’s for me.

Toomey should speak

secondpatriot76 Wednesday, April 29th at 7:25PM EST (link)

Pat Toomey should be invited to speak at the event. Not only will he have the dems against him but now the NRSC is hinting they are trying to get RINO Tom Ridge to run in the GOP primary in PA.

The NRSC should stay out of it until a primary winner is declared.
