Nate picked the restaraunt, but I still think that shirt has a bit to do with it. :lol:
We had a good meal, in a private room, all went well, other than my having to order beer three times, before I picked one that they had... "Moose Drool" really!
I think that the reason for the private room, may have been they didn't want important people like us to be disturbed by their regular customers. or, maybe vice versa?
The best news, is that by the time the meal was over, we had solved most of the world problems. If only I could find my notes.
Most everyone we contacted today, DOJ staff, Capitol security, ushers in the gallery, legislators (both sides of the aisle) and staff, were friendly, polite and hepful. We conducted ourselves in the same fashion, and it was an honor to represent the many other like-minded men and women, who could not be in Madison today.
P.S. not carrying today, no lock boxes setup yet, and you are not allowed to take a briefcase or a laptop into the spectator gallery of the assembly.
