Dude, the last time I went to a meetup with MoonPie and EvilTiff, we were at the bar for six hours, be prepared!

Six hours? It doesn't count as a NYC meetup until it's lasted at least twelve hours.

I still haven't decided the layout of my weekend...I have this, and that DigitalLife expo, and I really should knock around Jersey City some more too. Bleh!

See you suckers there :)

Sadly, mrs_b_d and I will be out of town this weekend, but we're going to make it to one of these damn things eventually.

I will be there!

I'll be in Atlanta, as far away from bacon martinis as I can get...

I think it doesn't count as an NYC meetup unless there's swine-flavored booze being mixed. What's the deal?

Have fun at your vomitlicious bar kids. Next time we're going somewhere else, or I'll hold my breath.

NYCers measure meetups in hours instead of days? WEAK SAUCE.

The feeling is mutual, dear lover.

Girls, girls, you're both pretty.

(if it's saturday, I might show. My Dictators tickets are for Friday. Pepare for major fanboy gushing)

I will be there, a couple hours late. I guess I'll just have to catch up.

Sweet! See you Saturday. As I've mentioned before, I look like this--larger than life, and dancing, DANCING--impossible is nothing, you know?

It's still looking unlikely, but stranger things have happened.

I think I'm going to try and come out on Saturday and meet me some MeFites. Or maybe I'll just sit in a corner and eavesdrop on you. Either way, I'm in for an hour or three before I ditch you for this place.

Mr. Moon Pie, in NYC, that is how we say hello to people.... try it! You'll probably get a free beer!

I am not coming as I may possibly be in labor, but I will try to swing both.

PS Pshaw, don't worry 'bout Dame - she was quoting keswick like bardic did next door.

Can't make it, dudes, I'll be busy trying to score dope in Seoul.

I'm here, where is everybody?

StickyCarpet, I heart you.

onlyconnect, are you guys in NYC this weekend? Or was that last weekend?
posted by ThePinkSuperhero at 2:07 PM on October 12, 2006 [1 favorite]

I believe they were near NYC last weekend. I just got an email from NortonDC, and he told me to say "hi" to youse guys.

We're not around NYC this weekend (last weekend we went to a somewhat nearby wedding), but hope you all enjoy meeting the MoonPies. They are super! Please make sure you give them back to us after the weekend is over!

Anytime we meet someone we really like, we keep them here FOREVER! ::looks in on sisterhavana, scarabic, ColdChef and Meatbomb in the basement dungeon::

I'm definitely just going to stop by and casually eavesdrop now. Unless you keep really nice booze in your dungeon?

ah well, I'd planned on dropping by for an hour or two before a birthday party on the LES, but sadly I've discovered said party will have a Dress as a Pirate theme enforced.
No need to make a worse first impression than I usually do.

Wait, you are not going to go to a MeFi meetup because you will be dressed as a pirate? That is silly! Can't everyone else going to the meetup also just dress as a pirate so you won't feel out of place?
posted by onlyconnect at 8:16 PM on October 13, 2006

I actually AM a pirate, but everyone at the meetups always make me feel welcome :-D
