When the Free Press held their first "gathering" at the Anchor Bar in Detroit, for all of the bloggers that were a major part Jim Schaefer's live daily blog following the KK, BK & BF Corruption trial in Federal Court last spring, which turned into the " Splash of Green" ..that was a HUGE success, much fun and turned a current event that was bleak into an amazing, productive and fun event from all the Blogerville residents...
The Freep ALSO stated that they were going to do a Sentencing Gathering as well......
What we do know is that the Freep is NOT going to sponsor a "Sentencing Gathering". (Unless this changes from now until the sentencing) This comes straight from Jim when he attended our gathering a few months ago, in April. He told those of us in attendance straight out, that we "were on on own". The FREEP is not going to be involved. Which is 10000000% fine ...even better actually!
This way "we" as in ALL OF US do not have to concern/wonder/worry about a 3rd party possibly going over their "lines" (What...a HUGE bra stuffed with money? Or vacuum bags stuffed with money? Never) which in turn could be well, not up to our "lines of standard" hehehe. Or basically funny shit that the Freep feels going too far! That is it, in a nut shell.
So, with that being said ..Yes, we are on our own and since this "gathering" could only be a few months out now, I think it is time to put the motion in action and start the planning stages!
This way, we can have more activity and TOP what we all threw together in 2 1/2 days! ~hehe~
So...thoughts & comments???
At the last gathering, a theme of "SPLASH OF ORANGE" was mentioned...thoughts, likes, dislikes, ideas? As well as any idea for a CHARITY that you would like to have in consideration for this AMAZING event?? GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I absolutely think it should be "A Splash of Orange"!
Please, on a Saturday night, so those of us from outside the area can come in...
I'm happy to help with this. And, can we choose a charity that perhaps Kwame was interested in, since the money has probably dried up.
Hey Dana,
Fabulous idea! My only input for now would be to see if we can somehow come up with possibly a more centrally located venue. I'm not sure which areas people are coming from; but just a thought.
Lets see if we can convince "Aretha'sGat" aka "Re-Re" to grace us with her, uh, his presence at the next gathering. Come out, come out wherever you are Re-Re!
Miss the daily blogging. Hope all are well and enjoying the summer.
Kilp out!
