Meetup update

[thetathx1138.livejournal.com]

OK, so, looking over the comments, I have a rough idea of when to schedule this meetup; sometime on Saturdays.

It looks like Saturday afternoons work somewhat the best, and that next weekend is out because it's Labor Day weekend. So let's start with Saturday 9/8 and let's say 5PM for now. If there are overwhelming objections we can alter it, but that seems like the best time for most of those interested.

As far as WHERE to meet goes, I think meeting outside makes a lot more sense than trying to cram into some local restaurant, so let's say in the plaza in front of J.P. Licks. There's plenty of seating, all sorts of accessible food, and we won't be in anyone's way.

I'd also like to request a co-organizer, just because the weekend of 9/8 I might be working on a local feature film and don't know what my time is going to be (for all I know I'm going to be putting in five hours at 6am.) Any volunteers?

Meeting strangers without the social lubricant of booze? Well.,I'll try my best. :-)

I'll try and show up if I can!

Well, since thetathx1138 is my new roommate, and I just got blindsided and dumped by my gf of 3yrs, I guess I'm in too. Not up for organizing anything though.

I am assuming you mean Saturday the 8th?

Well, LSU-Va Tech doesn't start until 9pm, so I could probably fit this in :).

Or we could relocate to somewhere you can watch football, whatever. :-)

[closetalker11.livejournal.com]

Haha ... that's OK, but thank you. Unless, of course, you'd enjoy watching me have 17.5 heart attacks in a 3-hour span.

(Some football fans are not"good" fans).

Thanks for doing this, it should be fun!

[ifotismeni]

i'll be there! and if you still need a co-organizer i love this kind of thing, i'll gladly help :)

[thetathx1138.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thanks!

I should get you nametags or money for same. I assume you have markers? :-)

[ifotismeni]

markers? bah! whatdya think i am, some kind of sophisticate? :P

yea, i can swing a few markers, hehe :)

I believe I can make this event. I'll be glad to help out with whatever's needed, though I don't think it requires much formal organization. We should pick a rain location just in case.

Good idea. Diesel has been requested as an avoid, what about Mike's?

[ron_newman]

I'm fine with Mike's, though I know some people here hate it. The Sox game on 9/8 doesn't start until 7 pm, so you won't have that distraction at the beginning.

I think I can make it, yay!

[ron_newman]

I looked for you but didn't see you....

[elements.livejournal.com]

I forgot about it entirely, sorry! I do hope to be at the RedBones shindig on Monday though.

[rebcamuse.livejournal.com]

Are those of us who live closer to Union Square welcome? If so, I'll try to make it!

[thetathx1138.livejournal.com]

Sure, I don't see why not!
