Readers will remember that at the end of March Anthony hosted a small dinner for the moderation staff and writers at a restaurant in San Francisco and posted about it here. A number of us couldn’t make it, so I proposed a summer-time get-together for those of us on the East Coast at my home on the Connecticut shore.
I am pleased to announce that the WUWT East Coasters Picnic will take place on Saturday, August 18 from 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.. Several of the East Coast moderators and contributors plan to come and Anthony rearranged his schedule to be able to attend.
We would like to extend an invitation to our commenters to join us as well. I can accommodate an additional twenty or so guests. If you would like to attend and put a face to some of the names, just post your request and I will send you an e-mail. I’ll look forward to meeting you.

300 kinds of beer AND chocolate beats “Cross at your own risk” any day of the week. What would you have for desert?

Beer is a dessert !!

John you realize if this were a fishing blog you and I would be drawn and quartered!
Thanks for the invite. I wish I could be there on Aug 18… just a little difficult being in Australia and restricted by a major work commitment over the next three months. Many thanks.
And of course chips and mayo!
Wow, what a kind and genuine offer. I would love to attend, if you really want me there. It would truly be an honor to meet the many good folks who make this great site work, but I would be more interested in discussing how to grow the reach of this site and honest message that comes from it.
I am not a scientist, climatologist, or scholar. I am an average American who found myself puzzled by the stories of climate in the mid 2000’s coming from the MSM. I don’t like being puzzled (being a long time business owner), so I did some homework. Finding legitimate information on the net was hard then, but it was there if you tried.
I found a moment in time when I finally was convinced there was something very wrong in the science community. That moment occurred when I read the Casper post by Bishop Hill. I became a true skeptic at that moment and questioned everything. I started reading papers on climate and the supporting science. Yep, I found out about pay walls then too, and so did my credit card bill and wife.
Needless to say, I will not to bore you on the off post info any further.
I would like to attend. I would also like to discuss how we take what you all do, further, faster, and funner, as a potential investor. It does seem strange to say this in a blog post, but it is reality. I think I can help BASF things 🙂
I would suggest you make a side trip to Wooster St in New Haven and have the attendees sample both Pepe’s and Sally’s. Perhaps a new thread to post the reviews and discuss the reasons for preferring one over the other. In any event, you could all then write the trip off as business.
[REPLY: Would that we had time, but inviting a comparison would have the same effect at WUWT as has plagued New Haven for generations: broken friendships, split families…. Sallie’s or Pepe’s, Pepe’s or Sallie’s. But you’re right… New Haven style ah-beetz is simply to die for. -REP]
I’m glad Stephen Lacey posted a portrait of himself along with that twitterance. I will be able to recognize him in the street and therefore to avoid conversation with a twit by ducking around a corner or crossing the street or pretending to be engrossed in a newspaper article or somesuch.
My “Chicago to Connecticut shore” map searches always return:
“you can’t get there from here”
Wish I could 🙂
REP-
You’re awesome enough to get me to resurface just to say so.
Have a great time.
My best wishes to a man of virtue!
Do people need to bring their own floaties? I’m assuming your abode will be submerged by then since it’s coastal; Greenland ice melt and all.
OK, a serious response.
I’d love to but I’m a west coast political junkie and my August is spoken for in spades. I’m from your area, Westchester, NY. What a great idea, let us know if you would ever consider an event in October, a strikingly gorgeous month at the Connecticut shore and one in which those of us involved in the political world on the left coast, could travel to attend, gladly. I’m sorry to miss this party. What a great idea.
And yes, I am deeply engaged in the implementation of California’s AB 32 program, including the mock auction scheduled for August 30 and the first real auction now scheduled for November. Interesting times.
[REPLY: Sorry you can’t make it. If there is a next time, I’ll consider a different date, but Autumn is also school season, doncha know… and I think that one way or another we’re ALL gonna be busy this October. -REP]
Some day you all will have to throw a party in Seattle where the nation’s weather begins. It isn’t a t-storm in Kansas or a tornado in Oklahoma until it’s been rain in Seattle.
I would love to attend if you still have room!
Pamela (@1:24),
I’d drive (about 4.5 hours) down (from the 47th parallel) for that but we don’t need no stink’n cabin. Tarps, tents, and pickup trucks are all good.

Perhaps you missed this. It was on WUWT at the time:
I’d love fly fishing Wallowa, never tried Crazy Horse but Country Club malt liquor sounds like the same kickapoo juice. Just make sure to give each other a lot of casting room!

Ice cream, also delicious, be it that Italian and Australian ice cream is also very good. Unfortunately forbidden for me, as good as the chocolates (diabetic…), have eaten them in quantities good for three lifetimes and now the bill is presented…
And indeed as Matthew W. said, some heavy beers here have 8-10% alcohol, thus more used to enjoy after dinner, not if you need some fast drink because you are thirsty…
Have fun. If you or Anthony get to come and visit your cousins in the UK, it’d be good to meet up.

Yes, ah-beetz! While we are at it, everyone take note: please stop referring to mozzarella cheese as mottsarella. Motts is a brand of applesauce. The proper pronunciation is “mootzarella”, make sure your trill the “r”.
Tom in Florida says: “The proper pronunciation is ‘mootzarella’, make sure your trill the ‘r’.”
Why did you include the “a” at the end?
