The enthusiasm seems to have tapered off a bit, so I think it’s time to bring out the promo poster from Tild!

I’m not sure but I think this poster references an old Julie Andrews movie, either S.O.B. or Thoroughly Modern Millie, I’m not sure which.

Catherine at The Happy Gnome was wondering how many to expect but it’s so hard to say given that a lot of the Netroots Minnesota folks won’t be flying in from Hibbard until Wednesday night and the minivan caravan from Duluth isn’t expected until Thursday.

No word from Autoegocrat, but supposedly he took off from Memphis yesterday and is bringing his raft north just as fast as he and M*slim Jim can paddle.

Since we now have a movie poster, here are some review quotes:
