Please see Vetwife's post from yesterday and listen to her beautiful musical invitation: http://www.dailykos.com/... Sorry, the usual linking method is eluding me.

The list of those going has been static but that's OK. Just look at our list! This is why we're just jumping to get there and have a fab community day in a piece of paradise that is Florida. I make fun, call it Floorduh, Floridurr, but to live here is to realize you're in a very special place -- even though all the nuts roll south. I'm basking and eating grapefruit in my driveway on Super Bowl Sunday! Tomorrow, we'll be basking, eating, yakking, doing yoga, playing, singing and dancing in temps in the high 70s, Kodachrome-blue sky, tall puffy Bahama clouds.............sigh.:-D Fly past the orange florange.

Vetwife and I send major gratitude to our diva navajo and A New Day posts for broadcasting the news for all our meetups!

We hope the Maybees can make it, the more the merrier. Please check the supplies we're bringing [in the list] and supplement or bring what you can, if you can. Camera phones for lots of photos (I, OHC, do not have a cell phone) (at all) and music-making things. I'm bringing my tambourine, for instance.

This is finally it. No more updates. Just a great calm settling over us all, knowing that tomorrow we have only to get there and back safely, and to fill the center of the day with fine fellowship and brilliant political discourse. :-PP Y'all.
