Cross-posted at Daily Kos

Austin Kossacks have a lot to talk about. So we’re meeting at Austin’s traditional liberal watering hole–Scholz Garden, 1607 San Jacinto–at 3 p.m., Sunday, May 15. All Kossacks are welcome! If it’s too hot, we’ll move indoors, so look for us inside if you don’t see us outside.

On the agenda:

Planning for Democracy Fest

For those who haven’t heard of Democracy Fest yet, check it out. Our very own Markos of Daily Kos will be there, as will Jerome from MyDD. Besides assorted Kossacks, other people you may be interested in will be there too, such as Howard Dean, Jesse Jackson Jr., Jim Hightower, and Molly Ivins. You’ll learn how to turn red states blue, and with breakfast tacos, barbecue at Stubb’s, a CD of workshop materials, and a T-shirt included, it’s a bargain at $55. Plus, on Sunday there will be a breakfast with Markos and Jerome ($16, separate registration). All in the blue oasis that is Austin. You may be able to get free lodging with Austinites in their homes (see below the fold). Register soon–DemFest is filling up!
