Indiana Meetup February 12, 2007 5:41 PM Subscribe
I assumed there weren't many of us (and maybe there aren't), but a recent AskMe made me wonder if anyone would be interested in a Bloomington, Indiana meet up?
Just, you know, checking.

Thirteenkiller and I tried to have meetups last summer to no avail. On the other hand, the two of us had a lot of fun together.

Hehe cortex, he was here for that. :D
The meetup last summer failed on account of I declared it about an hour beforehand and for a place that was closed. But k8t doesn't seem to harbor any resentment! Anyway yeah I would totally come to a Bloomington meetup.

Well, I'd be up for a more proper meet up at a bar sometime soon, but for now just let me say that I'll be sledding on Tri-North's hill (on 17th St.) at 9 PM tomorrow, with a blue sled.
And wearing a blue overcoat, a blue hoodie, blue gloves, and blue jeans. My boots, however, will be brown.
Assuming I don't die driving on the roads tonight.

I'm onsite in Ft Wayne in your fair state of Indiana. Will meet anywhere, preferably on US30, on my drive home tonight. Bring a shovel and some cat litter.

Wing night at Mother Bear's? Simply coffee at Soma? Other ideas?

October! Midnight Madness weekend! I'll be there!
I'm guessing that IU is not closing. The only time I can remember any classes being cancelled was when there was an ice storm in 1995ish. Even then, classes were only cancelled from 5pm until 9am the next day - gee, that helped!
Oh Bloomington, I miss you.

Ha! IU is opening at noon today. /victory dance, goes back to bed
My IU office closed yesterday at three because everyone else had to drive and wanted to get home. I just take the bus, so it didn't really matter at that point.
Anyway, Soma, Monday night from 8 PM, back room if there's space? I'm the woman in my userpage pic, I'll be sipping a mocha and wearing some manner of garment.

I'll be at Soma on Monday at 8, with a foam sword.
Back room sounds good.
