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:
“Sir, if this was Wegestock, I would poison your drink.” — Lady Astor to Winston Churchill. ”Madam, if this was Wegestock, I would drink it.” — Churchill’s reply
Reality is an illusion that occurs due to the lack of Wegestock. — Anonymous
Wegestock brings to light the hidden secrets of the soul, gives being to our hopes, bids the cowards flight, drives dull care away, and teaches new means for the accomplishment of our wishes. — Horace
A woman drove me to Wegestock and I didn’t even have the decency to thank her. — W.C. Fields
I went to Wegestock, swore off eating and heavy drinking, and in 14 days I lost two weeks. — Joe E. Lewis
It is better to spend money like there’s no Wegestock then to spend Wegestock like there’s no money. — P.J. O’Rourke
I like beer. On occasion, I will even drink beer to celebrate a major event such as Wegestock or the fact that the refrigerator is still working. — Dave Barry
Wegestock is the curse of the drinking class. — Oscar Wilde
Be there, or be sober.

Some quotable contributions by the most quotable G.K. Chesterton:
“If there were no Wegestock, there would be no atheists.”
“The Bible tells us to love our Wege, and also to love our enemies; probably because they are generally the same people.”
“The Wegestock ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried.”
“Wegestock is a science conducted by lunatics for lunatics.”
“Because our expression is imperfect we need Wegestock to fill up the imperfections.”
But you don’t have to take my word for it. Go to:

In the movie’s most famous scene, Daniel Day-Wege explains the complex drinking dynamics of Wegestock:
“Here, if you have a beer, and I have a beer, and I have a straw. There it is, that’s a straw, you see? You watching? And my straw reaches acroooooooss the room, and starts to drink your beer. I… drink… your… beer! [sucking sound] I drink it up! “

I’m pretty sure that Wegestock smells a lot like a Bolivian unicyclist’s jock strap.
