Let's Do Lunch

That was what the Elder from Fraters said to the Northern Alliance of Blogs, on the occasion of Hugh Hewitt's visit to the Twin Cities.

So we did:

From left to right: Hindrocket from Powerline, Elder from Fraters, Warrior Monk from Spitbull, me, St. Paul and Atomizer from Fraters, Captain Ed from Captain's Quarters (way in the back), Duane from the Hewitt Show, Big Trunk from Powerline, King Banaian from the SCSU Scholars, Hewitt, and JB Doubtless from Fraters.

This past two weeks have been an embarassment of social riches. Except for last week's confab with St. Paul and the King (sounds like a UPN series, no?), the only Northern Alliance member I'd ever met was Lileks, and that mostly fifteen years ago. And now, I've pretty much met them all.

When in the Long Lake area, by the way, check out Billy's Lighthouse. Great food, excellent room, fabulous scenery, top-notch waitstaff.

More later.

UPDATE: The Fraters Elder discusses the event at length.

"Sausage Party" allegations are greatly exaggerated.
