Calling all Austin and Central Texas dKos readers: Round Up!

It's that time again, time to speak your liberal mind among friends without fear of getting the stinkeye from those still drunk on the Kool-Aid.

We had a great meeting in March with several new faces and old hands from the Austin area, but we'd love to see more of you guys.  Last time around roses, Sandia Blanca, Noisy Gong, George, Grand Moff Texan, lookinforward and his two guests joined me at the Chili Parlour for some lively jawin'.  We also got to glimpse the (adorable) future of the Democratic party, who gurgled approvingly at us from the next table.

The former field director for Barbara Radnofsky, now officially the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate challenging KayBee Hutchison, is one of our number and we're looking forward to congratulating him on bringing a strong candidate into the spotlight for the critical November election.  Hope to see you there, othniel.

Austin has a mayoral and city council election coming up later this month, plus some particularly unsavory Congress Critters to rid ourselves of this fall.  With the public finally noticing that charlatans are picking their pockets and stuffing the cash into their cronies' hands, this is looking like the year to reverse the disastrous course that's been set for us by the party that was rightly in the minority for so long.  Our campaigning may not be stellar, but Democrats know how to govern.

Head down to the Parlour at 2pm this Sunday, May 7th and bask in the glow of rising hope!  Oh, and if you're checking on us, o-great-intelligence-community-personnel, the least you can do is buy us a round.  Or some queso.
