Two great Labor Day wonkmeets that taste great separately!

First! Please join us at our house in Detroit this Labor Day Monday, 2 to 6 p.m., for grilling and drinking and good times! Bring a kid if you got one and a bathing suit if you want to splash around in the tiny above ground pool and something to share only if you love bringing things to share! Email me at rebecca at wonkette dot com for our address. We love you!

Second! Windsor, the Berkshires, camping out with Paul and Holly!

Camping for anyone who’d like to set up a tent OR there’s plenty of hotel/motels, Airbnb, Vrbo, and traditional B&B choices in the area.

Food will be available, but we’re asking everyone to bring a cooler and a potluck. The grill is always available for your individual wants and the grill does have a single side burner. We’ll have the traditional burgers and dogs, and Paul will make his famous vat of Paul’s Fabulous Spaghetti Sauce. We have a wonderful Wonk that will be making dinner for everyone on whatever night they choose. If you drink adult beverages, bring whatever you desire, we’ll have sodas and all manner of non-alcoholic stuff to drink. 

Bring a warm jacket or sweater in case it gets chilly. AND don’t forget to pack insect repellent. 

You can let Holly know you’ll be attending and get coordinates here.
