Hopkinsville is always a good place for a pow-wow! Let's see if we can manage to pull it off this year.

Let's do. I'll drive down, see if I can pick up every Brokie I know between here and there, which would amount to 10 or more! ;)
I know we've discussed it before, but with our respective parental responsibilities, it's never materialized. Do you know dates yet? Or what website we can monitor to get the schedule when it's released?

I appreciate the invitation, though. I really do. :)

Well, things and circumstances change. I feel like I spent most of last year un- or under-employed. The cool thing about you is that you're in Cali and it's completely doable to find Brokie things to do in your area, or more likely, the Bay Area.
Have you seen the event that John (BayCityJohn) is putting together? I'll have to look for the link - it's in Social Events. If you can, you should go. It's not that far, and I can guarantee you that you'll find the company absolutely fine.

I will keep you posted. Most likely it will be Labor Day weekend again, but I can't swear to it. :-\

Dont anyone tell me,that Perez Hilton had not researched her religious beliefs, and would have assumed the answer to the question, before he asked it.
Would he have asked a black girl about civil rights or racial discrimination?....whatever her answer, she would have upset some members of the community, somehow,somewhere, and the press would have had a field day with that.
All of us have opinions on a lot of things, but we can voice that opinion as we wish, where we wish, and if we wish... that girl did not have that same opportunity.

I get what you're saying Sue - but he couldn't have - she picked his name out of a bowl, and his question was pre-prepared. So he would have asked that question to anyone who picked his name. In that sense, she was unlucky.
I do think that after all those years of training though, she could have answered that question A LOT better! Diplomacy is key in the pagentry business.
She has the right to opinion of course, but c'mon the pagentry business, just like the modeling business is full of gay guys - if she's gonna swim in the sea & have that opinion (which doesn't correlate to me but anyway thats beside the point) she should IMO have found a more diplomatic way to say it as shes probably been saying the same thing to people in the pagentary world for a few years or at least practiced the speech in her head!

Garry.......maybe you should speak out more to people in the Prop 8 debate. You have a wonderful clear way of expressing your views.
I found your post so interesting and your views explained so well, that I read it throug several times.
Whether I agree with everything you wrote, or not, at least it made me sit back and digest what you had to say, and becasue of the clarity of your opinions it made me consider my own thoughts on some of the issues.
Thank you for such an informative post.
