Its been too long ... when's the next meetup?

[meegbear]

Meetup and holiday party, n'est-ce pas?

[Vincardog]

1. Check the house parties at Moveon.org

[zippy890]

2. Meetup?

Do people get together?

[meegbear]

3. Yeah, usually on a Saturday afternoon ...

last one was during the DNC. Missed that one.

[sniffa]

4. that one was a bLast!

i think we just need a person to say, "i'm going to have a drink at the X&X bar on 13/89/04. aLL are weLcome."

i happen to drink a Lot, and aLL are aLways weLcome to join me (more so if you pick up the tab :p )

[meegbear]

6. Then take the initiative sniffa!

OK, Smarch 89th. Where and what time?

[Kathy in Cambridge]

5. Godlesscommieprevert (marshallplan) started a Lounge thread about this

last weekend. We should do something Thanksgiving weekend if everyone's around.

[meegbear]

7. Im up for it ...

I'm around during the holiday season.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

8. I haven't seen you in a looong time

how've you been?

:hi:

[curse10]

11. I'm in Paris all next week

so no go for me

[Kat45]

9. Sounds good to me.

I'll be around.

[ingasm]

10. Underage

Im only 18. Will one of you by me a drink?

[Squeech]

12. Did we settle where and when?

I thought it was still an open question: Friday vs. Saturday, and Grendel's vs. Clery's (or someplace in Newton).

[Kathy in Cambridge]

13. Someone has to make a bold statement and choose a date and time

or we'll never get it together

[StopTheMorans]

14. Hi Kathy!

like the new handle! no bold pronouncements here; but I'd think that the weekend after the weekend after thanksgiving (i.e. Sat., Dec. 4th) would be the easiest for the largest amount of people to make. How are ya?

[Kathy in Cambridge]

15. Good, how are you Sean?

i think Dec. 4th is preferable too. I am helping my sister and brother-in-law paint Thanksgiving weekend.

I like your new handle!

[StopTheMorans]

16. Good, thanks for asking:)

everything's been pretty crazy with work/social life lately, but it's starting to ease up a bit. Have fun painting this weekend; hopefully we can get together for a drink soon!

[Kat45]

19. Hi Sean!

Haven't seen you around here for a while. Good to see ya! I like your new handle too. :hi:

[StopTheMorans]

26. Hi Marian!

i've been around; mostly in GDPolitics and GD lately tho (go figure); although i've been in the lounge quite a bit too. good to hear from you; hopefully we can get together at the meetup! :hi:

[Squeech]

17. If we postpone till then

we lose the trofs, who are here from Alabama (?) for turkey weekend.

Do we need to petition matcom or WillPitt for an executive decision?

Or should I, as the big Grendel's booster, simply declare that I will be there on such and such a date (probably Saturday the 27th), and whoever wants to join me is more than welcome?

[sniffa]

18. yes

i'd be the boLd one, but i'd choose a bar 1 bLock from my house, and i don't think anyone wants to come to quincy... or do they? :P

[Kathy in Cambridge]

20. Where's Quincy?

:P

Just kidding. Why don't we do Clery's again? Or Grendel's in Harvard Sq.

[TaleWgnDg]

23. Hey, you have a new nick/screenname/username thingie . . .

Congratulations! :party:


This is the DU member still known as a DU insomniac. :hi:

[TaleWgnDg]

21. uummmm, is that . . .

"Kwin-zee" or is that "Kwin-see?" heh. j/k

[sniffa]

22. kwing-zeee

thank you

[TaleWgnDg]

24. Yup. You are from Boston! n/t

[sniffa]

25. i've taken to caLLing it

Q-z or Q-z city.

[DS1]

31. Executive decision?

:wtf:

[ET Awful]

I really should check this forum more often :)

I think I can make it. I'll certainly try :)

[ET Awful]

27. Holy Double Posts Batman!

[DS1]

28. I think Clery's is friggin ideal for T access

Don't so much care about what date, although Saturday after TDay would be better than Friday

[Kathy in Cambridge]

29. Friday I'll be in a tryptophan coma

so I prefer Saturday also...

[DS1]

30. Friday - also being the busiest shopping day of the year - as if

this area wasn't already congested enough - and I don't mean the runny nose I've had for the last week ;-)

[meegbear]

32. Any decision made on this yet?

[sniffa]

33. grendeLs

per that other thread.

[Sydnie]

34. Did I miss it?

Damn it, I KNEW I should have posted in this forum before now. Did I miss the party?

[Squeech]

35. Yeah, but

it was a very small event-- six people total. (Although it was much appreciated, at least by me-- I haven't had that much fun since the election.)

I recall that there was significant support (if not in this thread, then the one in the Lounge, which has undoubtedly sunk deep into the archives) for another meetup in December. And that's not even taking into account the Northampton event on the 11th, which I might take my inner-city elitist face to myself (see thread in this forum).
