Iron Horse Dems

 I will be bringing the site completely down for several hours sometime today/tonight for a total system upgrade. I will be wiping out the existing Database, and all users will have to re-register their profile info.

 We're going to have our April meeting at Maria Maria in downtown Walnut Creek. It was "The Cantina" for many years, so if you are familiar with "The Cantina" then you know how to get there.

 Clay Shirky discusses his recent book "Here Comes Everybody". In this video, he talks about how the internet and evolving social tools are creating an new environment for group action. Many interesting points, he very clearly illustrates how social media is empowering citizens.

 Our next meeting will be at 6:30 PM on Thursday, March 13. I have reserved the back room at Rocco's for us (2909 Ygnacio Valley Rd.). 

We will have a brief business portion of the meeting to decide how we want to set up the club and discuss election of officers. 

Please be sure to invite your friends to join us! 

Eligibility requirement to come (March version): You remember when Mark Wahlberg was Marky Mark.

Via Tony Thurmond: 

Greetings all:

I hope you will join Congressman Miller, Rev Bernstine, and me at a Richmond rally for Obama for President. The rally is open to the public and will begin at 10:00 AM on Saturday, February 2nd.

 From the California NOW Site:

 YOU ARE INVITED!

Via Esperanza Tervalon-Daumont, Thanks for the heads-up!

 We have not decided where to have our next official meeting. Pyramid turned out to be really loud and it does not seem like they can really handle our group. Does anyone have any suggestions? If you have any ideas add them as a comment to this post.

We'll be joining the local democrats at AJ's in concord Pyramid Alehouse in Walnut Creek. to watch the primaries. They've got several big screens in the back room, and some nice comfy couches to enjoy. They have great Plasma Screens and Lots of excellent beer! The Obama Campaign people are going to be there, so it should be good crowd.
