Wisconsin FReepers had their much-awaited dinner party at Prime Quarter Steakhouse yesterday. The party started at 5 PM; some were still there when I left at 10:30.

Attending this shindig were the following:

brewcrew, WIladyconservative

Blackhawk, Jessica Rabbit

Cultural Canary, gorush

Faraday, Mrs. Faraday

Genesis Defender, Mrs. Genesis Defender, Genesis Defender, Jr.

Everyone enjoyed each other's company and discussed FR activism, politics, ongoing projects, as well as personal hobbies and interests. A good time was had by all. The dinner itself was great, as usual; the steaks you grill at Prime Quarter are HUGE, and taste SO GOOD! After dinner the interesting conversations continued, though some had to leave soon. I'm sure I made a pest of myself, flashing that camera in everyone's face. I will post the photos ASAP.

I will pick up the photos tomorrow AM,
and will TRY to get them on this thread before I go to work that evening.

Thank you for your patience!

I did not get to meet GDJr., but I saw him riding on a shoulder across the room; and he is cute and a half!

That's what all the little old ladies say when they see him at church. He has at least 4-5 old ladies (and some young ones) come up to him and pinch his cheek or talk to him. That boy will be a girl magnet when he gets older!

I'll be at the polls at about 6:55 waiting for them to open. If our side of the county has anything to say about it, FU Lite will stay in Hales Corners, and the walls of the Empire will come atumblin' down.

BTW, at about 2:30 this afternoon, you can add Leann Launstein to the list of "supervisors" headed to a recall election.

I missed another one...The baby 'maws made it quite clear that they intended to ruin everyone elses fun what with the older one sick and the newest still giving mom fits...I wish I could have been there.

This is just a selection of photos. I don't have the bandwidth to support more.

Steveegg, would you like me to FTP the whole lot to your website? Or just email them?

Anyway, enjoy!

If I misidentified someone, please correct me.

[WIladyconservative]

Wow - thanks petunia! They are great!

[petuniasevan]

I have double prints, too. I can send them to interested parties...

[petuniasevan]

Who are you, idiot? Go away. You WEREN'T invited.

[ozaukeemom]

Thanks for the pics! What a great looking group!

[poorman]

To everyone:

I have put all the pictures up on a website. You will find them at

www.picturetrail.com

On the left side of the page there is a box to type the album you want to see. Type the name

onepoorman

and hit enter.

At this site, you can make your own copies of the photos. I think you can download or make digital photo ecards too.

I am still working on getting some video online somewhere. I will let you know when or if that happens.

[afraidfortherepublic]

I'm really impressed with your photography and technological expertise! Another job well done!

[steveegg]

Great photos. BTW, you have FReepmail.

[gorush]

Very nice job on the pictures (except for those with me in them...but you couldn't help that) Once again, thanks to you and petuniasevan for organizing a truly enjoyable get-together.
