A show of hands, please, for the Milwaukee area meetup...

[ClassWarrior]

By mojowork_n's request, I'm posting this as a poll. Please respond if you're thinking of joining your fellow SEWIDUers on eve of January 26th for a meetup at the Mad Mug Coffee House, 7934 West Burleigh Street in Milwaukee:

1. Add an extra vote to the

"Positive and live close" for reprehensor, since he's en route today. :D

[dragonlady]

2. You can count my vote double

Dragongentleman will be there too. (Mad Mug is a nice place--we've had some very good times there.)

[eyesroll]

3. I will be out of the state, but do have fun...

I'm not sure what the threshold is for "I live near the Mad Mug," but in the grand scheme of things, yes, I do.

Say :hi: to everyone for me!

[mojowork_n]

4. By acclamation, let's call it for the Mad Mug.

It *is* a good place, serving both hot and cold beverages and sandwiches as well, and the original post did start out as a 'Welcome Fudge Stripe' & Reprehensor topic. (I forgot.)

Thanks for posting the poll, I wasn't sure how many folks from outside the metro area might be on the fence about doing a little extra driving.

5. Well, therein lies a problem...

The Mug isn't normally open on a Saturday night. The owner said he'd be willing to open for a crowd, but eight people - half of which are maybes - doesn't exactly constitute a crowd.

The Mug is open on Friday nights. What about switching to Friday the 25th, the night before?

6. Works for us.

And we're relatively close. Just depends on how soon after work. How late are they open on Friday?

[mojowork_n]

7. Friday it is n/t

[Jimbo S]

8. Yeah!!

Friday works much better for us. :)

[Connonym]

9. 25th works just fine for me

Now all we need is a time

[ClassWarrior]

10. The Mug is normally open till 6:30 p.m. on Fridays, but...

...they'll be glad to stay open for us till 8 or 9. So when do we want to gather?

NGU.

[dragonlady]

11. Sorry, we can't come on Friday

Maybe another time. Have fun!

[Jimbo S]

12. I can be there as early as 5:30.

[ClassWarrior]

13. Okay, we're all set for Friday eve, the 25th. If Jimbo gets there about 5:30...

...and grabs a table, the rest of us can arrive between 5:30 and 6:30. The Mad Mug will stay open for us till 8 or 9. How's that work for everyone?

NGU.

14. .

:thumbsup:

[Connonym]

15. works for me, I can probably get there early too

Anyone feel like being green and car pooling from Waukesha? PeaceNikki, Jimbo, Bueller?

[ClassWarrior]

16. Kicking because...

...I'm frickin' sick'n tired of PackersPackersPackers. And being a Progressive patriot (as well as a Progressive Patriot), I am compelled to act upon my convictions.

So, Packers, take THAT:kick:

17. Speaking as a sports fan, first,

I hear you.

I'll be rooting for them, but you're right, it's another form of media control over the most vulnerable element in our society, the 'weak-minded'.

[ClassWarrior]

18. A reminder... this Friday starting at 5:30 p.m...

I expect to see all the cool SEWIDUers there... B-)

NGU.

[Connonym]

19. but can us not-cool SEWIDUers come too?

[joneschick]

20. I hope the not cool will be welcome

nah, we're *all* cool. I hope to be there too. I haven't been to any kind of meetup in over 2 yrs. Can that be right? See ya!

[ClassWarrior]

21. If you're there, you're cool.

B-)

Look forward to seeing y'all!

NGU.
