We have a date and time — Thursday, 18 September at 7pm. We have a rough location — somewhere in the Minneapolis/St Paul area. And most importantly, we have the will to party to celebrate the one millionth comment on scienceblogs.
We also have an excess of specific venue suggestions. Now we could do a gigantic pub crawl, but that would be unseemly…besides, that's already scheduled for 18 October, when it's time for the Zombie Pub Crawl 4: Spawn of Death. But I digress. We need you to vote to narrow down the choices. Greg has the list, read it and vote! It's going to be the very best geek event in Minneapolis ever, at least until ZPC4:SoD.

Scienceblogs.com is about to hit one of those arbitrary round-number milestones: sometime soon, someone will make the one millionth comment. Our generous Seed overlords wish to mark this event with celebrations all over the world, and are planning to bestow upon us small sums of money for the…
This is for all my Seattle and Vancouver, BC, area friends, especially all my bird pals, whom I have maintained contact with all these years after moving to NYC: there are several ScienceBlogs millionth comment parties in your areas that you are invited to.

The NYC millionth comment party has FINALLY been scheduled! ScienceBlogs has rented out the top floor of the Delancey and will be providing pizza and a bar tab up to about $600 (drinks over that amount will not be covered) -- FREE! The Delancey will be suspending their usual cover charge, just for…
Today is a very special day because I will be helping ScienceBlogs to celebrate our one millionth comment at a party they are hosting in Seattle! Yes, I am in beautiful Seattle at this moment, and I will be at the ScienceBlogs party, along with some of my Seattle pals, and also some of my birding…
If you pass any of Sheriff Bob Fletcher's rent-a-cops, say hello for me, and tell them where you think they really should be employed (gunless at a construction site). They just arrested several reporters, including Amy Goodman from Democracy Now!, for being impertinent enough to question the police about their behavior in arbitrarily arresting other people.
They arrested her for "conspiracy to incite a riot".
If you want to really party, you have to come to Baltimore. Our local beer, Natty-Boh, doubles as a pesticide that even organic food lovers consume.
The day of the event be sure to pick up a few local papers, dailies and weeklies alike. I'd like to see how far along the civil rights cases have gotten by then.
And be sure to let folks know how to get a hold of your lawyer. Even if nobody else donates, I'll do what I can to support your right to take photos of cops in action.
Oh come on PZ - you can get the prize winning comment easy. Threaten to desecrate something. Tell Bill Donahue that if he doesn't pay you $100,000 you'll shove a cracker up a pelicans arse.
How about a holy book BBQ? Grill up the Book of Mormon, Koran, Bible, Egyptian Book of the Dead, Prose Eddas, Works and Days, The Golden Ass, Cosmic Trigger, Bible of the FSM, Tibetan Book of the Dead, Kama Sutra, etc. and offend everyone. Toss in a Garcia is dead bumper sticker and even the Deadheads will be offended. You can do it!
How nice of you to have a party on my birthday! Unfortunately it's a bit far for me to attend - from Wales - but, believe me when I say I'll be there in spirit, and wine and champagne.
Oh, forgot about the time difference - I'll probably have been put to bed before you even get started.
Well, you don't turn 60 every day do you?
You always meet in pubs.
Remember, not all of us are alcoholics.

Greg, the last meetup was in a restaurant for brunch. Not even any mimosas.
I'd like to take this time to congratulate the other members of Scienceblogs for their combined contribution of 10,000 comments.
Hey, is there a venue yet? A couple of the Twin Cities CASH folks are interested in stopping by to wish you congratulations.
