The Wisconsin FReeper's Friday Fish Fry Frolic and Fun

Friday night 17 Wisconsin FReepers and their families met at the Mine Shaft Restaurant, in Hartford Wisconsin for socializing and dinner. What an honor to meet each and every Freeper last night. I am proud to know and be associated with our ever growing group!
WIladyconservative made fantastic name tags for everyone to wear with our FReeper names and real names, a picture of the American flag and "Let's Roll" on them. Ozaukeemom had the digital camera which she used freely (ugh) and gorush has volunteered to post them this weekend.
Right before we started our dinner, we stood and said the Pledge of Allegiance. All eyes in the restaurant were focused on us at that time. After dinner many stayed and had a couple refreshments. It was a wonderful evening.
Comments from WIladyconservative on the WI board:
"I think I can speak for all the WI Freepers that gathered at the Mineshaft tonight when I say we had a BLAST! Good food and drinks and GREAT conversation. Those of you who might have been on the fence about joining a group of unknowns, please consider joining us if we have another get-together. I'm normally a bit shy (yeah right, they all say), but it was fabulous to know that I could have an intelligent conversation with anyone I met tonight - simply because they are on FR! Thanks to WIMom for organizing and inspiring this get together. Hope to see you all soon!"
Here's the list of those who joined us on our 'mini-cruise' last night.

One big hint for networking. First, get a router. This is vital for multi-PC surfing, as it includes a firewall (though usually not completely effective; I would still also get a personal firewall on each computer) and NAT (network access translator, which lets more than 1 computer efficiently use a shared internet connection).
Good luck.

The thing is to get it fresh (or very recently frozen). Can't say I've tried fried trout though (always baked the lakers I caught).

Definately, I would drive to the Fox Valley. Appleton is only 1.5 hours north from where I live.
As long as it's not in Superior,....<VBG>

We could all go to Spunkets for the day!
BTW, I am missing someone from the list and I can not remember his screen name, he does not have his name on the WI page. Can anyone verify?

I'm with you on that, steveegg! But I'm there for the next one...
Who's going to organize the next one? Any Fox Valley or Madison volunteers?

Thanks Jean. I have this thread bookmarked for later.
Planning tip: HAVE A SIGN SO EVERYONE KNOWS WHERE THE GROUP IS MEETING! I really messed that one up! But, being resourceful, we all found each other.

Is there a SE Wisconsin Chapter? And if so, is there a web page? I'm located in Brown Deer.

You forgot to tell everyone how our waitress asked what we were all about and how she could find out more! Or were you saving that for the pictoral depiction of the evening? And about Mr. afraidfortherepublic's delight at being surrounded by blondes . . . LOL

WHOOPS! I got on the computer and forgot to check who's profile was up before I posted the above. It didn't really come from Brewcrew, it came from yours truly. And we were doing so well up 'til now!!!!! ARGHHHH!
To: brewcrew
I wanted others to contribute to the story, and not tell everything. Why don't you go right ahead? LOL! Oh, and the looks we got when we all stood and said the pledge, amen.

WIMom, thanks for organizing such a fun get together.
For those who don't know, the Mine Shaft is a fairly huge restaurant. So when I arrived (early, for pre-fish libations) and asked where the FReepers were gathered, the girl at the desk said, "Oh, it's that really good looking group of people, with all the patriot garb on." Or something like that.
To all those who missed it but have been posting and lurking for awhile on FR, you have more in common with us than you do with many of your own relatives. Come on down!
