If you missed the MOB Winter Party last Saturday night at Ol’ Mexico, I feel sorry for ya.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We drew about 80 people, which is up there with the totals we drew at the legendary MOB parties three and four years ago.\u00a0 It didn’t seem <\/em>as crowded; we had the party room at Ol’ Mex to ourselves, which left a little more elbow room that Keegans’ serpentine main room (although I’m thinking having the Summer Party at Keegans’, with cigar patio back in commission, sounds just fine to me).<\/p>\n As to who showed?\u00a0 Well, pretty much the usual who’s who of Twin Cities blogging: Chad and Brian from Fraters Libertas<\/em> (along with Mrs. Elder and the three Mini-Elders), King Banaian from SCSU Scholars, Ed Morrissey (who came bearing, um, Canadian cigars – thanks, Ed!), our NARN producers Tommy and Jon, Doug Bass, John “Policy Guy” LaPlante, the Night Writer, Reverend Mother and Tiger Lily, Joe “Learned Foot” Tucci, David Strom and Margaret Martin, Nachmann from Loyal Opposition<\/em>, Jessica from the late Pianomomsicle<\/em>, Katie Kieffer from KatieKieffer.com<\/em>, Swiftee from the late Restraining Order<\/em>, Toni Backdahl from the MN Tea Party, Derek Brigham and “Lassie” and Guy Collins from Freedom Dogs<\/em>, Robin from A Girl’s Gotta Vent<\/em>, Sheila Kihne and Laura Hemler and their husbands, Jamie Delton (Legislative candidate in St. Paul as well as proprietor of Delton Digest<\/em>), Teresa Collett (candidate for the Fourth District Congressional seat), Mr. and Mrs. D from Mister Dilettante<\/em>, Andy Aplikowski from Residual Forces…<\/em><\/p>\n …<\/em>and I’m not gonna pretend I can remember too many more!\u00a0 But there was a first; we had a table of five people show up who’d heard about the party at the “Kill the Bill” rally at the Capitol earlier in the day.\u00a0 They knew nothing about blogs, but figured it’d be a fun party to crash.\u00a0 Thanks!<\/p>\n If you wrote about the party, leave a link in the comment section!<\/p>\n Anyway – stay tuned for the MOB Summer Party, coming up right around State Fair time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you missed the MOB Winter Party last Saturday night at Ol’ Mexico, I feel sorry for ya.\u00a0 We drew about 80 people, which is up there with the totals we drew at the legendary MOB parties three and four years ago.\u00a0 It didn’t seem as crowded; we had the party room at Ol’ Mex […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9273","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mob"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9273","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9273"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9273\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9281,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9273\/revisions\/9281"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9273"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9273"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9273"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
