Thanks davis_square!

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

I think the event tonight was a success and I certainly hope this becomes a regular monthly or bimonthly event. The Burren really came through for us and I hope people will write positive reviews about the place and frequent it often!

It was great to put faces with names and I got a chance to meet some people that I've always wanted to meet. I also talked to some awesome people that don't really post that much/lurkers but are really cool and interesting.

So thank you very much davis_square! I just realized I'm using lots of exclamation points!!

Edit: Oops, double post. Sorry. That is what I get for being one of the last ones to leave the bar and posting before reading the last few posts here.

DOUBLE POST NOOB. TRY AGAIN

jk jk, you're awesome anomie, everybody agrees on that. forilla. this was an amazing/fun/superlative event, i really enjoyed getting facetime with so many FANTASTIC folks from the area. first thing i thought while leaving tonight (11pm!) is that i can't wait to go to the next meetup. serious props to you for organizing this and to the burren for generously hosting and feeding us.

I realized it was a double post about 5 minutes after posting...ugh.

That is what I get for staying out too late and posting before reading the last few posts in the community.

Anyone have an appropriate fail macro? ;)

Re: exclamation point!

[ifotismeni]

i believe this calls for proper chippenfail. as it is your macro, i leave you the honor, sir.

I would be really happy to see it be a monthly thing; I said I was coming, but after working T/W/T last week, then 4 days of Arisia, and working again tomorrow through Saturday, and the Arisia debrief on Sunday, I just looked at today and said, 'DEAR GOD I NEED TO SLEEP AND SEE NO ONE.'

But I finally met ron_newman at Arisia, so it's all good.

I have a fail icon ;o)

Re: exclamation point!

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

I'm not that evil, I shall refrain posting the chippenfail.

DON'T MAKE ME HAVE TO DELETE YOU

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

Deleting I can deal with, please don't ban me! :)

Re: exclamation point!

[thespian.livejournal.com]

I think this is the first time I've ever been able to use this one.

[hrafn.livejournal.com]

Thanks for organizing this! The Burren was great.

[ron_newman]

Hi! I didn't recognize the LJ name, but after looking at your profile I realize that we met at shadesong's Monday panel.

Re: exclamation point!

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

LOL!!

That is awesome!

[thespian.livejournal.com]

and during the meetup; I was the one who mentioned that having met you, I now had met all the davis square moderators, including the elusive Pru ;-)

[ron_newman]

Was Pru at the meetup?

Re: exclamation point!

[thespian.livejournal.com]

tonight, I don't know. At Arisia, no. I know she came to Arisia last year but just for the Friday night BPAL thing; she's really the most non-fannish person I know, and I find her incredibly refreshing for that, actually! ;-)

From one of the many lurkers

[crazybone.livejournal.com]

Thanks for putting this together. It was a good time and I hope to make more of these.

[ron_newman]

Ahh, I misunderstood you above -- you meant the LJ meetup at Arisia,, not last night at the Burren. Anyway, great to meet you.

Re: exclamation point!

[cos]

Ahah, now I know who you are! :)

[closetalker11.livejournal.com]

Thanks for organizing the meet-up, and arranging for cheese and pie! I wasn't sure what to expect, but had lots of fun.

[spatch]

This was pretty flippin' awesome. A+++++++++ WOULD DRINK WITH THESE FOLKS AGAIN

[plumtreeblossom.livejournal.com]

I would have posted a thank you last night, but I was legally too drunk to operate the internet. Looking forward to the next one!

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

I don't think I meet you....damn it!

[daft.livejournal.com]

Bah. I did not know you were back in the area. I would have tried to rope happyjack1888 in to attending and we could have had a steampunk/architecture geekathon. Or I would have at least found you and said "Hi".

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

We definitely will do it again next month!

Re: exclamation point!

[mperrotti76.livejournal.com]

I KNOW!!! What's wioth this anomie dude being a nice guy IRL...? *Shutters to think*

Re: exclamation point!

[mperrotti76.livejournal.com]

[mperrotti76.livejournal.com]

Next time I shall try to not schedule fuel oil removal the day of and try to attend. Frikin envirnomental engineering and its last minute scheduling...

[ihavemeaning.livejournal.com]

Teh event was teh awesome. Thank you so much for organizing this. I hope that the Burren didn't regret giving us so much free food! Also, you brought chocolate. How can I hate a republican who gives me chocolate? Also, nobody gave me any roofies. How I love my consciousness, let me count the ways.

Here is a picture that entertains me:

[hrafn.livejournal.com]

Next meetup, perhaps? Or sooner, since I'm ungainfully unemployed for at least a while yet.

[daft.livejournal.com]

Totally.
Also, not sure what you're looking for, but I think we're hiring (http://faiarchitects.com/). It's certainly not hyper-glamorous, and I'm not sure what you're looking for, but the atmosphere is good.

[bombardiette.livejournal.com]

Maybe next month I'll actually be able to make it.

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

At least you have a valid excuse for missing the fun, Perrotti just hates me.

[closetalker11.livejournal.com]

I did meet you, but not for long ... just long enough to boast about LSU kicking Ohio State's ass :)

It's nice to finally put a non-Ferrell face with the name!! I'm really going to have to make it out to 90's night sometime soon.

[thetathx1138.livejournal.com]

Sometimes, you've just gotta have it.

[hrafn.livejournal.com]

I just graduated. I have 0 experience working in an architectural office. I am only picky about location (T or bikeable) and general attitude towards interns.

Thank you! (I guess this means I better start with the resume printing.)

[daft.livejournal.com]

Well, I can spit on North Station from here, so the T is certainly close.

We're a VectorWorks house, which may or may not be a consideration if you're looking for drafting-type work.

Regardless, I know it doesn't say it on the website, but we've been sort of casually looking for people for a while now.

[jaypee.livejournal.com]

I wanted to go, but my friend's apartment got robbed, and she wanted to get out of the house. Don't worry, it was in Watertown, and for some reason they just stole some cheap jewlery and their checkbooks, but left laptops, cameras, ipods, passports, etc alone.

I'll definitely try to make the next one though. I love the Burren.

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

Oh crap, that was you...I couldn't see the name tag :)

[hrafn.livejournal.com]

The only drafting program I know is AutoCAD, but I've used Revit, too. Otherwise, after a quick skim of the website, it definitely looks interesting!

[emilytheslayer.livejournal.com]

Where in Watertown, please? I have a lot of friends there.

[jaypee.livejournal.com]

On parker street. They tried to get into the upstairs neighbor's place as well, but they were home at the time and called the cops.

[emilytheslayer.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I don't think that's anywhere near my friends, but I'll double check.

[beowabbit]

I would have posted a thank you last night, but I was legally too drunk to operate the internet. Looking forward to the next one!

Um, darling, you did post a thank you last night. Despite me telling me you probably shouldn’t be posting. And I think the process involved you repeatedly reading, pondering, erasing, pondering, and retyping the same sentence. I love you, even when you’re typing under the influence. :-)

[plumtreeblossom.livejournal.com]

Heehee! Look on the bright side, beloved. At least I'm not an impulsive drunk poster (anymore). Now that I am a Mature Woman of Distinction, I ponder, I delete, ponder more, edit, consider whether my non-drunk self would put it in those words, decide not, rewrite, delete again, and usually end up not posting at all. But dude, the OP was surrealestate, and she's seen FAR worse antics from me than that. Haven't you, surrealestate? ;-)

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that the answer may incriminate you.

[smileytypepers.livejournal.com]

Damn it! I wanted to go to this, but Jennifer Finney Boylan was reading / speaking at the Harvard bookstore and I HAD to go. (Hopefully there will be another! :D)

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

There will definitely be another one. Perhaps in the middle of next month.

[elements.livejournal.com]

Sorry I missed it (I'd have been getting there closer to 9 and was too tired to add another event to my night after all), but I hope this is just the first of many.
