Carnival World Buffet Dinner $23.99 plus tax includes non-alcoholic beverages. Alcoholic beverages extra.
Meet at the restaurant NEAR THE DIAMOND CLUB ENTRANCE PROMPTLY AT 6:30PM. (The Diamond Club entrance is before you get to the main buffet entrance; directly across from the poker room.)
Okay kids, heads up, NEW PLAN!
Oke arrived at the RIO yesterday. Here is her email:
On just the off chance that dealing face to face might pay off I
talked to the Mgr. directly and he is willing to reserve and set up a
table for at least 40 to start with, he's willing to add more if needed.
I even offered some type of deposit and he said not necessary.
He will take us as a group inside a 6:30 to 6:45 window of time. We're
to group up at the Diamond Club entrance. He will then take us around
the outer part, past the line and seat us.
It's really, really important that the group knows we need to be
organized and gather up as many people as possible in that window.
it's not that he'll refuse a late comer, but we don't want to push
our luck.
I had difficulty making a group res for our Cheers & Jeers Dinner. The Harrah's group wanted me to sign a contract and leave my credit card for 50 reservations to secure tables. If people didn't show up I would have to pay for their meals. I don't know some of the people who rsvpeed and to jump thru Harrah's hoops was a little too much for me. There were many other demands like waiting outside until our entire party arrived... wtf. no.
There was no Mom N Pop accommodating like we've had in the past.
Viva La Vegas!
So I bagged that and we will have to go commando, ...the original meaning, not no underwear and do a doorbuster.
Underwear could be optional though on second thought.
Here is the plan:
Arrive early to beat competitive dinner crowd.
Vicki and I will be there early at 6pm and "try" to setup a head table and in a vicinity that can accommodate more around us. Dunno, but hoping for the best, we're like that. We'll let the hostess/host know that everyone will be asking for the Cheers & Jeers group.
Apparently they won't seat you until your entire party is there. So parties of one or two might want to wait for more at the door or group up in advance and then come in. Although certainly a deuce table is not out of the question. Dammit, we need a secret handshake, why hasn't Billy thought of this dilemma in advance?? Try to avoid pairing with teabaggers and search for our clan thoroughly if you have to wait. Ask to be seated next to us, the two bawdy women who've already caused a ruckus. We'll say to prepare themselves for a Cheers & Jeers deluge. Apparently this is one of the largest buffets in Las Vegas so we'll see about that, huh. If they can't survive the onslaught of 50 of us, well then...they've slipped down on the best rated scale I'd say. I've no idea of the logistics there. Use your best demeanor to be seated close to us.
Live blogging starts at 6:30.
Please spread this info since I don't have everyone's email.

I just wanted to be sure all potential interested people know about this event in Oakland
The 2nd national park in the U.S. remains one of the nation's greatest legacies over 100 years later. People from across the globe seek things that cannot be found elsewhere on Earth; few leave disappointed.
Let children walk with nature, let them see the beautiful blendings and communions of death and life, their joyous inseparable unity, as taught in woods and meadows, plains and mountains and streams of our blessed star, and they will learn that death is stingless indeed, and as beautiful as life, and that the grave has no victory, for it never fights. All is divine harmony.
Below I will share a few more photos, quotes, and bits of advice for anyone hoping to visit in the near future.
Cheers to norm for hosting our party yesterday at his condo in Oakland. As usual, we had a great group, delicious food and lots of jibber jabber. Thanks norm and hope the cleanup wasn't too grueling. Your new condo is beautiful! Oh, and sorry we over stayed our invited time.

I will be arriving at 5:30 PM to stake out our tables in the garden patio area. Please find our tables first and then go to the ordering counter. The menu is very reasonable. You can order dinner or just pastry and coffee.
SPECIAL NOTE: The ordering counter closes at 7PM so be sure to arrive on time to get your food and drink supply in order to last. There is a back door/gate to the garden patio area so if you are late we can let you in there, bring a snack ;) I think if you walk down the block to Gough and go right, then walk right on Ivy you should come to a parking lot with an entrance to the garden patio area. Also there is an on site wine store with excellent prices thatn include glasses to borrow and no corkage fee. nice.
Shockwave is working with California OneCare now and if you are interested in California leading the way for Single Payer you will enjoy chatting with him. Please check out the link above to see the ads by many celebrities.
We meet at Little Star Pizza on 400 Valencia at 7PM
http://www.littlestarpizza.com... Then we walk to Martuni's at 8:30PM to arrive just before 9PM.
Vicki will meet us at Martuni's at 9PM.
OMG, last minute announcement! vicki, user ID 1604 and of Cheers & Jeers fame will be in town this coming Tuesday.
The plan is to meet at Martuni's, a piano bar so vicki and Paul Hogarth can sing their guts out. If you love show tunes this event is for you.
Here is the karaoke vid from last year's NN09 DFA event, she's at 2:50 in:
And, Paul Hogarth starts the vid with Springsteen's Born to Run and is featured throughout.
Here is a screen shot of vicki from that vid so you can look for her:
That's ClammyC she is clutching to her breast, lol.
Details are extremely sketchy. vicki is traveling now and working in the Wine Country for a couple of days and flying out early Wednesday a.m.
I believe Martuni's opens at 9PM. Martuni's opens at 2PM, the piano player doesn't arrive until 9PM. We may meet for dinner before but I'm waiting to hear from vicki about when she'll be finished with business.
Stay tuned kids...

The SFKossacks are lucky to live in one of the top tourist attractions
in the country; San Francisco. On a regular basis we get to entertain
visiting celebrity bloggers. Last week we had the terrific pleasure
of dining with Featured Writer and community fav exmearden.
This was our photo at the end of the evening. [Photo by dadanation] L2R: Mrs. side pocket, maggiejean, rfall, oke, RedMeatDem, leftcoast, Jotter, exmearden, side pocket, navajo and Angry Mouse
Let me set the stage for you below and tell our wonderful story of
having exmearden in our midst with photos.
The ice storm and an extra hard winter has added to a situation that ALWAYS exists, not having basic needs and living in conditions that are at the level of Third World countries.
It is evident that the outpouring of support has been overwhelming from the Bay Area, but it would be great if we could take this a few steps further..............
I'd like to throw out the idea of using SFKossacks to get together a list of other needs, and also.............
How about a get together to collect things and do some brainstorming as a group for those interested in continuously monitoring current needs and doing what we can on a long term basis?
Summers can be harsh and deadly on the rez too and basic human needs are always unmet.
There are not words to convey what life is like there unless one has seen it first hand. I've been there, it is a subhuman and brutal way people are forced to live, 365 days a year, even in the best of weather conditions
1 large onion, diced 2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tbsp veggie oil 2 tsp grated peeled fresh ginger root
1 tsp salt 2 cups veggie stock (I made my own)
14 oz. can of coconut milk 6 handfuls chopped, fresh spinach
4 cups peeled & cubed butternut squash fresh lemon juice
Easy spice grinding: spices, nuts, chiles in blender
In ½ cup of water.
In soup pot, sauté onion & garlic in the oil. Add ginger & salt, sauté
Till onions are translucent, add stock and spice mixture and simmer
For 5 minutes. Stir in coconut milk and squash and simmer uncovered for
40 minutes, take off heat, stir in spinach and lemon juice to taste.
Mushroom Soup (serves 6)
2 large onions, minced 2 large cloves garlic, minced
2 ½ cups chicken stock 1 lb. fresh mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
(food processor slice blade makes it easy)
½ cup dry white wine 5 tbs butter 1 tsp oil
2 tbs sour cream ½ cup ½ and ½
½ tsp tarragon (or more) 1 bay leaf
1 tsp corn starch chopped parsley or chives salt & pepper
Saute onions and garlic till golden in 2 tbs butter and the oil, remove from soup
pot and reserve. Add rest of butter and mushrooms, sauté 2 or 3 minutes. Return
garlic and onions to pot, add salt and pepper, tarragon, bay leaf. Blend corn starch and wine.
Add to the stock, pour the whole into onion mixture in the pot. Simmer 15 minutes.
Add ½ and ½ , sour cream and bring ONLY to a simmer. Pour into cups or bowls,
Sprinkle with parsley or chives, and serve.
As the national debate about comprehensive immigration reform begins to heat up, activists across the country must begin strategizing now about how to organize around this key issue. Join Netroots Nation for a discussion on the role online and offline activists can play, particularly on a local level, in the upcoming battle to pass CIR. How can we ensure that our techniques are effective and how can we personalize this federal fight on a local level and engage activists in our own communities? Strategist Jenifer Fernandez Ancona will moderate this discussion about how online and offline activists can work together locally in the coming months to ensure that when the battle heats up nationally, we're ready to fight. Panelists include Paul Hogarth of Beyond Chron, activist Bobbi Lopez, Christopher Punongbayan of the Asian Law Caucus and Favianna Rodriguez of Presente.org.
Organizing locally: Using new media to win on immigration
Jenifer Fernandez Ancona is a strategist in the progressive movement, with a focus on multi-racial coalition building, fund raising and strategic communications. She is currently an advisor to the Roosevelt Institute and Presente.org. Jenifer was previously a senior advisor to Steve Phillips and Susan Sandler, where she was responsible for communications and messaging to a broad network of progressive donors. Jenifer has also served as a top legislative aide in the California State Assembly, and was a news reporter for the Los Angeles Times. She lives in San Francisco with her husband, Dan Ancona, and their cat, Oscar.
Paul Hogarth is a lawyer and community organizer at the Tenderloin Housing Clinic, a non-profit in San Francisco that also publishes Beyond Chron, voted the Bay Area's Best Local Website in 2008. Paul is Beyond Chron's managing editor, where he covers City Hall, affordable housing and marriage equality. He is a former elected member of the Berkeley Rent Stabilization Board and almost filed to run for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors this year. Paul has appeared on CNN's "Blogger Bunch" to discuss Prop 8 and is a frequent guest on Bay Area radio shows about local politics.
Active in the Asian American community for over a decade, Christopher Punongbayan is currently the Deputy Director of the Asian Law Caucus, the nation's oldest legal civil rights organization promoting the rights of Asian American and Pacific Islander communities. In 2004, he was a recipient of the Ford Foundation New Voices Fellowship where he served as Advocacy Director for Filipinos for Affirmative Action. He currently serves on the boards of directors for the South of Market Community Action Network and Public Benefits Attorneys, and has provided non-profit management oversight to a number of LGBT, youth and API advocacy organizations in New York City, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Favianna Rodriguez is an artist, entrepreneur, and organizer who has helped foster resurgence in political arts both locally and internationally. Named in 2008 by UTNE Magazine as one of the country's leading visionary artists, Rodriguez is renown for her art work dealing with social issues such as war, immigration, globalization, and social movements, as well as for her leadership in establishing innovative institutions that promote education and engage new audiences in the arts. In 2009, Rodriguez she helped found Presente.org and its sister organization Presente Action after recognizing the need for Latino communities to make better use of technology-based organizing techniques. Since April 2009, Presente's campaigns have brought national attention to hate crimes against Latinos, anti-immigrant violence and most recently, the historic nomination of Sonia Sotomayor.

Please leave a comment if you are attending. Perhaps we should meet for a short dinner before. Who's in?

I was inspired by our SFKossackShanikka's REC LISTED diary about the Giving Tree at her office and suggesting that we give of our time at Food Banks or Shelters. I'm sure there are many places we as a group can serve.
I would be more inclined to give of my personal time if I had buddies to go with me. I think it would be a great idea if we start organizing a monthly or every other month event where a subgroup of us meets to serve together in our communities.
And since we are spread all over, let's have ONE event each month or every other month in a different town with a different subgroup of SFKossacks.
To start let's identify possible places to meet and work. We'll pick one a month or every other month to start. We'll need a captain to volunteer for each event to interface with the charity, gather SFKossacks and communicate the date, time and directions to the subgroup.
I like this idea because it's not asking for you to donate money, it is much easier for me to donate time than money.
So, tell me in the comment thread:
What are the local community projects where we could meet as subgroups and give of our time? (then grab a beer afterward ;)
Also tell us if you do this already on your own and if you'd like some SFKossack buddies to join you next time.
Also a project could be like the one FFDAR suggested recently. Maybe this could be January's project.
Request for a future "fundraiser" related to NFTT
I live near the Palo Alto Veterans Hospital (which has a section treating brain injuries). They collect clothing (remember the female vets), toiletries, magazines, and snacks for the vets treated at the facility, as well as potentially homeless vets. http://www.palo-alto.med.va.go... But if anyone just "has" to unload some extra items now, I'll be glad to transport them in time for the holidays. ;-)

I'm down with this, I really need to clean out my closet.
For DECEMBER'S SFKOSSACK SERVICE PROJECT, may I suggest coming with me to Shanikka's office in East Palo Alto and pick a name off her Giving Tree. We'll empty that tree of names, dammit.
Also, thank you to everyone who donated already this December to the side pocket's Heifer, Int. project. You ROCK and if you can come with me to Shanikka's office you DOUBLE ROCK!
A revolution is coming - a revolution which will be peaceful if we are wise enough; compassionate if we care enough; successful if we are fortunate enough - but a revolution which is coming whether we will it or not. We can affect its character, we cannot alter its inevitability.
--John F. Kennedy
You have the power to reclaim our nation's destiny. You have the power to rid Washington of the politics of money. You have the power to make right just as important as might. You have the power to give America a reason to vote again. You have the power to restore our nation to fiscal sanity and bring jobs back to our people. You have the power to fulfill Harry Truman's pledge of health care for all Americans. You have the power to give us foreign policy consistent with American values again. You have the power to take back the Democratic Party. You have the power to take our country back. --Howard Dean
I am progressive. I am liberal. I make no apologies. I believe government has an obligation to create an even playing field for all of this country's citizens and immigrants alike. I am not a socialist. I do not seek enforced equality. However, there has to be equality of opportunity, and the private sector, left to its own devices, will never achieve this goal. --Markos Moulitsas
Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country.
--Franklin D. Roosevelt
A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on.
--John F. Kennedy
We are trying to construct a more inclusive society. We are going to make a country in which no one is left out.
--Franklin D. Roosevelt
A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.
--John F. Kennedy
If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships - the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world at peace.
--Franklin D. Roosevelt
The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.
--Franklin D. Roosevelt
Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education.
--Franklin D. Roosevelt
