#2 Well, have one then. Pick a city, pick a date, post. It's just that easy!

In the meantime, the Eastern 'Burgers have it good. Who's coming?

#3 Rantapalooza Vegas has a nice ring to it. Only an 8 hour drive for me.

#6 Um I just woke up, Rantaplooza Vegas? I live in Sacramento, anyone in the Sac City area?

#7 I think the Crusader War College is an ideal venue. Vidalia Georgia is central to everything worth being central too, excepting Ludawici of couse. Let's try spring or late fall tho....

#12 How about Rantapalooza Marin?

I do not fear to enter the belly of the beast...

#13 I go to Marin if I could wear a special hat.

#14 I'm coming to DC on Wednesday, so I'll see you there on the 9th.

If there's something in Chicago before I settle into Maryland for good, I might just see you there, too.

#15 Mojo, I'm in Marin and I know I could get a few others as well. Just tonight I will join a fellow occasional Rantburger, we will go to an eatery in Mill Valley and will discuss politics and the war in loud tones so as to annoy the locals. It is quite fun.

#16 Where and When in Marin? Will bring laptop to Rant back/forth with others.

Posted by Cyber Sarge">Cyber Sarge 2005-06-27 17:00|| 2005-06-27 17:00|| Front Page Top

#17 6:30 at what used to be Avenue Grill, Mudbugs, etc. Now it is called Barrell 44 or something like that. No laptops planned, heck no Marin Ratapalooza planned until 5 minutes ago.

#18 I just thought we might want to trade stories back and forth. Would be cool if we could Rantapoloza together. I also have unlimited weekend minutes on my cell phone so we could conference call. I wonder if they will hate me if I wear my "W is for Winners" t-shirt? Heck we need a Rantburger TShirt!

#19 Sadly, July 9th is the Annual Deacon Blues Beer Drink, Swim, and Rib Fest. Maybe some other time. This is the sign 2 miles from the Pork Palace.

Do I live in a great place or what!

#20 Remote Man is the place named Cascade Bar & Grill? Also is there a cheap motel nearby in case I need to crash and not crash?

#21 What, no Rantapalooza on the Rheine?

TGA? (heh)...

#22 Dreadnought||, Spot, Steve White, eLarson

I'm in Wheaton near trains so anywhere in Chicago land would be OK.

Taking some buddies from out of town to the 3rd's fireworks than the 4th fireworks at my house. (I'm 2 blocks from the DuPage County launch site...)
Of course from about the 4th through the 10th will be madly picking apricots off my tree and figuring out what to do will about 35 bushels of them...

#23 Oh boy, the dreaded annual apricot binge, lol!

Send 3dc a pre-paid UPS Ground tag and he'll send you the most lucious ripe apricots you've ever laid eyes on... Lol!

#24 Nice to know that Dupage County will be regular.

#25 CS, yes, I'm almost positive the last name on the place was Cascade B&G. There are some motels along 101 that should be reasonable. Never stayed in any so I'm not sure. I sent you an e-mail. Check that so we don't use Fred's bandwidth.

#26 I like the idea of one out West but does it have to be Marin - land of little Johnny Jihad. How 'bout a nice RED county like San Diego?

#27 I go between Davis and Mountain View (95616 and 94041, respectively), so any place BUT Marin is good, as I wouldn't want to run into Boxer in her silver BMer (or would I? hmm....).

#28 Mmmm...apricots. Just bought some scrawny ones at the grocers...

#29 Part of the fun is going to the belly of the beast and poking it in the eye. Davis is just as much full of LLL as Marin. Running into Boxer, Polosi, Lee, etc would be BONUS points as far as I am concerned.

#30 You could hand them a little flyer...

"Jesus Loves You! Rantburg.com"

And sit back and enjoy the show.

When you guyz have your get-to-gether, I want DETAILS.

2 photos in email
only ones currently orange are wormy ones...

As to DuPage fireworks... I normally get the OFF on and walk to blks down to the jail parking lot and plunk myself down - best seats around. (Wife usually watches from the yard.)

#32 ...Would any of our east coasters consider a Rantapalooza in Norfolk? Considering we can have it on the deck of the battleship Wisconsin ...
