Time for another meetup!

Okay. Now that spring actually seems to be here and hanging around, we should have another get-together. What's everyone doing this Saturday?

1. I'm going to Hawaii!
I would hate to miss a DU meetup, but if you have one, have fun!

I'll help set up the next one.
:hi: Chip

5. I'm going to be trying to make as many film festival films as possible,
but I'll need to take a break at some point. :-)

The dinner hour or shortly before would be good.

Have fun in Hawaii, katinmn! I spent two summer sessions at the University of Hawaii and had a great time on both occasions.

8. Thanks. I was there two years ago for work and never saw much
of anything except the inside of the convention center.

I've been wanting to go back on a break. I'm definately going to go snorkeling and visit the rainforest.

Not looking forward to the long flight, though.

9. Well, if I actually go to all the movies I have circled
I'll be getting out of a film at the Bell Museum at about 5PM. Anything on the #6 bus route would be fine--the U area, downtown, Uptown, Southdale... :-)

(I don't drive to the U, since I believe that driving to the U or to downtown Mpls is its own punishment.)

How about the dinner hour somewhere?

BTW, where is GAspnes? Is he being a hit-and-run poster? :-)

I'd like to leave that up to the people who've been around the Twin Cities longer than I have in recent years.

23. Ooh, that is an excellent idea for a meeting place
I was just there a couple of weeks ago. They're a nice progressive company.

What say you all?

24. What say you all to Galactic Pizza near Lake and Lyndale?
If GAspnes isn't going to step up and name a venue, I guess I have to take the initiative.

They're a progressive company, veggie and vegan-friendly, and they deliver their pizzas by bicycle. Now how swell is that?

33. Need to give a rain check.
Hopefully I've not made too many enemies on DU and people can tolerate a social toad... but given my restrictions in driving (recovering from surgery...) I must pass this time.

But hopefully for the next and, again, if I'm not untolerable... :-)

Edited on Fri Apr-01-05 07:55 PM by katinmn
if that helps. :)

I hope we can plan another one within the next month.

Hope your recovery is going ok. Are you pretty sore still?

39. Restrictions?
You can't drive but can you ride as a passenger? We really should talk about car-pooling anyway.
We would all enjoy the pleasure of your company.

40. there, you see?

Cooperative decision *is* possible.

Kat & Supormom are right -- having my car cut out from under me (plus having an actual *job*, Lydia) makes directing forum traffic during the day a little bit hectic.

Galactic Pizza at 6 it is. Everyone bring a present for chickenscratching.
