I'm going to the Denver march and I haven't been able to get DU-ers interested in a meet up here either. Oh well. Do report back and let me know how it went on your end.

Where in Mississippi are you from?

I overdid it and did one in GD and one in the Lounge and I predict the Lounge will get me 5-6 people.

I'd love to be at the DC march, but I'm traveling for work this week and won't be back until the day before. Thankfully Memphis is only about an hour away from.

Hope the Denver march is great!

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
