Whenever I show up to something "on time", I'm always the only one there. Comments?

Likely to happen this time, too. Hence the "-ish."

The planning on this one was kinda haphazard. Assuming the weather stays nice, I'm planning on showing up between 7 and 8 and having some beer and burgers. I'm hoping other people also show up, but I'll bring a book just in case.

Or else try to make friends with some bikers.

I'm out of town. Have fun, kids.

I'm probably not going to make it, much as I'd like to.

Work demands that I arrive closer to 8 than 7. But I am certainly hoping to arrive.

I can't make it tonight! Hope you guys have fun!

Oh hell, it's not looking like i'm going to be out of here till 7, but we'll see if we can make it.

Sorry, can't make it, folks. Get a bike chain in the face for me, though.
*wheelie*

Alas, I can't make it. Try to have fun without me, though.

I had trevyn's problem. Sorry guys, I looped around 2-3 times, couldn't figure it out, and left. Was there some sort of sign I missed?
posted by synapse at 9:00 AM on June 9, 2006

Sorry, guys. Wasn't expecting it to be anywhere near that crowded. A couple of us found each other; the rest of you were missed.

And the obvious conclusion is we should leave the meet-up planning to caitlinb. :-)

Well, I'm not one to say I told you so ... :)

SO, shall we go ahead and get together on a Tuesday sometime before the 28th, after all?

I love each and every one of you and want to be sure I see you before I chuck it all and run off to Europe!

(Also, trevyn and synapse, if either of you goes to Yoga Sangha, then we did in fact see each other, but since I know you from yoga, it never occured to me you might be potential MetaFilter, because my brain does not process such worlds-colliding moments very quickly. In which case I'm 300% doubly sorry.)

Crap, I walked right near this place last night on my way to El Buen Sabor after deciding the Mission Dolores Park movies were too hipster for me but I somehow managed to miss that there was a MeFi meetup. Leaving SFO tomorrow for New England again. Next time.

caitlinb, yes, I think another meet-up would be good.

I should have had someone email me their phone number or something beforehand. My gf and I were there, but it was very crowded and I didn't know anyone. We did meet a nice guy named Darryl (sp) who is leaving for Philadelphia in a few weeks. We wish you best of luck to you Darryl. I had a blast in SF and want to come back. There's always next time.
