DS meetup reminder: Tomorrow at the Burren

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

Just a friendly reminder that we are having the DS meetup tomorrow (Wednesday) starting at 7pm in the back room of the Burren.

The Burren is always nice to us and its our "home base" every other month. The bar will provide some food and I will have nametags if people want to wear them. I hope to see many of your tomorrow night.

At some point we have to decide where to go in November, so I'm open to suggestions.

I'm aware you mean this as a joke, but I love this song.

[thetathx1138.livejournal.com]

So do I, and what the hell, it's a light post, have a fun song to go with it.

Might be time to try a Ball Square location. Maybe the reopened Powder House Pub?

Do they have a TV? There's a Sox game at that time.

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

They do have a TV and I believe the Sox playoffs are the only time they are on. So you can come out and watch the game with the group.

I'll try to make it at some point, but I'll be a little late because I have a softball game at 6:45 in Hyde Park (ugh).

There is NO Sox game tomorrow. They play at Fenway tonight and Thursday night.

However, there is a Presidential debate tomorrow night at 9. And I don't think the Burren has TVs.

Oh, I didn't realize that there was an off night for the Sox.

[ron_newman]

I have no idea why they scheduled an off-day between games 4 and 5. The Phillies-Dodgers series has one, too.

In the case of the Dodgers it's probably so they have a chance for the bruises on their butts to heal. Manny can't be happy about getting smoked by the Phillies.

I figured maybe they're taking a day off from the playoffs because they know people will be watching the debate? I certainly know plenty of people that wouldn't want to have to choose which of those to watch.

[ron_newman]

Except that the Dodgers-Phillies off-day is today, and they're playing tomorrow.

[anotherthink.livejournal.com]

Oh stabz! Then I have no idea... but I am glad the Sox aren't on at the same time as the debate :)

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

The Burren isn't going to put the debate on TV. They only turn on the TV for the sox playoff games.

Quiz

[jason469.livejournal.com]

Hi,
I was writing because I was at the Burren last night to par-take in the quiz, as I do every week, and was appalled at some of the behavior within your group. I don't mean every single person, but there was about three or four people who were rude and pretentious by calling out answers with a know-it-all attitude as well as putting down most questions. As I previously said, I attend the quiz each week and I haven't seen such poor behavior out of the local college students, who are young enough be excused. I would also like to add that I don't even believe they were playing, yet they acted as though they were too good for the material. The rudeness spread to the waitstaff, the bar and the woman doing the quiz. These self-proclaimed intellects should brush up on their social skills and realize nobody was impressed, in fact as I left, my same feelings were a high topic of discussion with other groups.

Re: Quiz

If you had a problem with something that someone said, or their behavior, why didn't you say something last night? You wait 24 hours later to make an anonymous post on LJ about it? That is a bit passive aggressive, no?

I don't believe anybody was rude and I only recall someone from our group accidentally yelling out the answer to one of the questions. It happens occasionally during a quiz, its human nature (the woman doing quiz asked him not to yell out the answer and it was forgot about).

Next time, if you have a problem with someone tell them in person.
