Scottish Meetup- let's depress each other again.
posted by sgt.serenity to MetaFilter gatherings at 5:02 PM (19 comments total)

I have decided to risk certain death and propose another scottish meetup - none of which will be as good as the one in glasgow ages ago.

I say we meet at the tea room in jenners.

Which one of you will pretend to be the girl this time?

I'm in. Glasgow or Edinburgh?

The relentless dancing/Canadian stand-off/blowjob-based harassment one? Hard to beat.

I read that as Scotch meet up and was like, damn, I'll get a head start!

well - the rest of mefi downing whisky in our honour while we gather in our highland meta-lair woud be a nice gesture...

Hard to beat.

true, which is why i suggest we get all morningsidey and go to jenners,eat cream buns, drink earl grey tea, arrive in fur coats, that sort of thing - it's a kind of atonement on our part.

"depress each other again"?
Isn't Scotland already depressing enough?

I keed. I keed. Don't hate me because I'm in California. On second thought, go ahead. Everybody does.

I'm back in USia from the 16th to the 25th but would love to go to a Glasgow or Edinburgh meetup outside those dates.

I'm actually going to be in Scotland from the 19th through the 26th, so if you all end up settling on a weeknight during that week, before I leave (no Net access probably) I might have a snowball's chance in hell of attending. We'll be based out of Perth, I think.

Has there ever been a Birmingham (UK) meetup?

And in other news, it's not a Jenners tearoom anymore, it's now become Bistro on 5 so let's not be making a faux pas here - what happened to all the tearooms ?

chuckdarwin: Has there ever been a Birmingham (UK) meetup?

Not to my knowledge, but we did a Northern* meet-up once in Manchester. I'm not sure it's ever been repeated, but I'm (almost certainly) moving back there soon, so perhaps it'll be time to revive it...

*For the purpose of this comment, "Northern" refers to "the England north of London" as opposed to the UK as a whole...

So am I missing the post where someone specified a date or a locale, or is that still under discussion?

Some pub in the west end of Glasgow would be really great for me, 25th or later, please!

Late to this party but I would like to attend any time after the 12th June. I am working everywhere but the Central belt until then. Oh bugger.
