word! I will be there at 8:30 and see about reserving a lane [is it even possible?] someone else please print out a stack of coupons from the website?

and yes, you should still come even if you do not bowl.

Anyone want to have a MeFi party in the New England area?

Damn. I'd love to go, but I have a previous engagement. And I suck at bowling anyway. Take pictures, you guys.

I'll be there around 11:30. Don't blister your fingers up too quick guys!

Are there many MeFites in London (UK), have they ever met up, or are they interested in doing so?

(Shudders and realises that suggesting such a thing over here is akin to trying to strike up conversation on a Northern Line tube train on a Monday morning)

I'll be there a little after nine.

I'll make it at nine. Should we wear nicknametags?

You can always modify, print out, and bring the Unofficial MeFi Nametag.

Ah, fuck! I was playing Quake3 with a bunch of friends, and totally forgot about this until now- just popped on to check Metafilter and remember that was tonight!

Dammit... :(

Well, I forgive you, but I don't know about the rest of 'em... We'll do it again sometime.

My big idea. I didn't show. My dad's plane was late. . .then checking into the hotel. Before I knew it 'twas 12:30.

I really, however, think we should do something grand very soon. This seemed all too impromtu.

How was it? Who went?
posted by crasspastor at 2:26 AM on November 20, 2001

It was I, Jessamyn, Gluechunk, Argybarg, and Kindall, and Daniel, though Daniel did not bowl. Yeah, we ought to do something soon -- anyone know when fooljay's up?

How about a weekend afternoon gathering in a nonsmoking venue?

The bowling was very good, except as bowling (I think j edwards maxed out the pool of scores at around 160). Kindall took a group photograph, which should thrill no one who wasn't there. Notable for the evening was a man two lanes down who kept groaning and keening in response to all the bowling action. He seemed truly preverbal.

Other note for Seattleites -- Santa Rampage. December 7, 8 & 9. Contact me for more info. I think fooljay may be up that weekend, but possibly later.

We need names! (Jessamyn I got.) And who's that hiding behind the camera?
posted by rodii at 4:07 PM on November 20, 2001

L to R: J.Edwards, Argybarg, Daniel (what the heck is his MeFi name?), Gluechunk, Jessamyn. Behind the camera: me.

Maybe next time we should take the photo in front of a mirror so the photog can be in it too.

Gluey's eyes... they're... AAAGH! STOP LOOKIN' AT ME!

Maybe next time we should take the photo in front of a mirror so the photog can be in it too.

Good idea for a website!

No, putting your hands in your pockets makes your butt look big. :)

You all look so normal.

You sound disappointed, gleemax. If it makes you feel better, I detached my antlers just for that occasion.
posted by j.edwards at 7:52 AM on November 21, 2001

You can detach your antlers? Wowsers. Um, I can bowl OK but it was so drippy and I don't have a car and whimper, whimper.... But I agree with what Carol Anne had to say about a weekend afternoon gathering in a nonsmoking venue... Santa Rampage, hmmm...
