As of midnight, The Burren wins as the place to have our social event. It was a close election, but I do not want to have to do a recount. There will be no hanging chads or conspiracy theories about diebold machines. The people have also overwhelmingly suggested we hold the event on a weekday evening. Therefore, unless there is some glowing reason why this date wouldn't work, I'm going to propose:

Wednesday January 23rd at 7pm in the Back Room of the Burren.

This is for a few reasons.

1) Wednesday night is "acoustic" night in the back room of the Burren and it might be a better musical environment to chat with others.
2) Its in the middle of the week so the bar might not be as crowded with other patrons.
3) I'm traveling out of town most of next week and the beginning of that week, and I don't want to push this event back further.

I'm not going to do anything fancy, there will be no banners, balloons or silly hats. If there is a good turn out in the back, the chances are the person next to you at the bar is on LJ so say hello and introduce yourself. I'm sure there will be people wishing to remain incognito and that is fine as well.

There is one more poll to fill out. This is to get a rough count of the number of people who will likely attend. If you are bringing significant others, friends, etc., please let me know in the comments. Keep in mind that the Burren does sometimes have private functions in the back room and therefore is closed to the public. Also, the back room sometimes doesn't open till 8pm or so. If this is the case, we will just have to hang out in the front of the bar.

[Poll #1119948]

I suggest you move the poll out of the lj-cut so people are sure to see it.

I think it's fine.

It'd be great to find out ahead of time if we can in fact get into the back room. I wonder how far ahead they know.

I’d like to attend — are folks who spend large quantities of time in Davis but don’t actually live there welcome? (I’m [livejournal.com profile] plumtreeblossom’s boyfriend.)

Sure!

It's a meet-up for residents of [livejournal.com profile] davis_square, not just Davis Square.

Silly boy. :)

I'm totally in! If I have rehearsal that night, I'll just have to show up a bit late.

I've never lived in Davis Square :) I co-founded a business that was located there for several years, I've helped a number of people move in or out, I dated someone living there, I've campaigned for the alderman and state senator and both state reps, I'm one of the community mods... but I never lived there. I don't see this is a community only for people who live in Davis, and I think most people here agree. It's for people who are involved in Davis Square somehow.

Exactly. From our profile page: "The community is for those who live, work, or spend time in and around fabulous Davis Square, Somerville."

Hey, I've seen [livejournal.com profile] ifotismeni in person, so I'll look for her.

From: [personal profile] ron_newman
She's seen me, but I don't remember what she looks like. Hopefully we'll re-meet at this event.

I remember what you look like as well, so that'll help. :-)

Anomie! I have to say, you're kinda cute! (Who the hell knew? ;p)

We met at '90s, so I have a hazy idea of what you look like. I assume you'll be wearing your cap. :-)

a smaaaall problem with that...

What if that leads people to me, instead? I guess, quickly, if "piercings" equals yes and "cap" equals no, then it's me and not you. If "piercings" and "little bear hat" both equal yes, it's a cinch that one is meeting me and not you. If "piercings" and "cap" both equal no, then, well...I guess I don't know anyone for whom that is true.

Actually, I'll just look for you and then people can look for piercings and meet us.

To see if you really exist.
I'll be bringing my pupil-tester to see if you're a replicant or not.

I have a class that night, so I won't be able to go to the meet-up. I hope you have another one in the future.

That would be great! Count me in for that.

Sure! Maybe we could invade Ryan's or Johnny D's trivia night.

I may have to swallow my pride and pay a cover for the burren... assuming they still charge a $5 cover on weekdays... do they?

I couldn't tell from the website. You could call and ask, though.

I was thinking of gatecrashing you guys tomorrow night at Patricks as I live right up the street, but I'll wait til the 23rd :)

Yeah but you got heavily outvoted in the last poll.

kimchee1+1. Will let you know asap if we can't make it.

RSVP - probably "no"

I am not sure if I can make it to the meet up tomorrow night. So in this case, could you remove me and my partner from the attendee list? If we can make it, we'll just go on down! Cheers!

Not me, because if I did, they'd all say RON NEWMAN.

Ended up with a work conflict, so had to change my response. Sorry about that.
