1. I have gone for years. May miss it this year. Its great to be amongst

the kindred.

5. I was almost not going to go... but Harkin and Sanders are enough reason to go

It's always a blast to have a brew with Jim Hightower too. The man can drink as well as make you laugh your ass off.

2. Sounds cool, but I'm in Arizona

Can you pick me up? ( assume you know I'm kidding) We don't have any real lakes here, only man-made ones.
Tell me more about the Fighting Bob Fest. I haven't heard of it before.

3. I'd go just to hang out with you.... ;)

the rest would be gravy. But...I can't. :(

4. You better have a big house

:evilgrin:

7. Plenty of tent space in the back yard!

I have several inflatable beds that have lasted through the rowdiest of visitors. A great local grocery store with the finest choices in brew, veggies and an incredible butcher shop are mere blocks away. A kayak and several fishing lines are at the ready for the lake, within steps away. A few spare laptops with wi-fi beckon...

:hi:

8. Is this event set up for this same week every year?

6. Have so much fun, zulch! I've never

even heard of this before but how neat it would be to take up your generous offer of crashing at the Lake House for the Bob Fest.

I'm sorry I won't be anywhere near it but will love to hear about Tom, Bernie and et al.:patriot:
