Mighty Mighty Wellington Meetup

Wellington needs a meetup.

If my vague search of metatalk is to be believed, it has been years since the glorious MeFites of Wellington had a meetup. Years, people. So I've taken it upon myself to organise one (before I leave. And Infinite Jest leaves too. Anyone else leaving?).

Mighty Mighty is marvelous. So we should go there. (104 Cuba Street)

And I propose the only slightly arbitrary March 19th.

Good? Good.

Auckland? Great!

Dag Nabbit - perhaps I'll try and convince work I need to be down in the capitol around those dates...

My fiancee and I wouldn't mind going to a Mefi meetup, but we're in Palmy and work during the week.

There are people outside Wellington; fascinating.

Would March 22nd, which is a Saturday, suit better?

Damnit - I just left there so I could actually go to meet-ups somewhere else.

Still, when someone has a little too much to drink and says something slightly inappropriate, you'll know I am with you.

Oh pants. March 22nd is inside Easter weekend. Wait.. Is that pants, or is that a good thing? I just. Don't. Know.

(I can sort-of make March 15th, however I am wandering off to see a concert; so I won't be around long enough to have too much to drink and say something inappropriate.)

Blah. Given the lack of enthusiasm for the 22nd, lets just stick with Wednesday night d: Sorry out of towners!

p.s. There's also a generic bloggy meetup happening at Mighty Mighty on February 27th.

Oh yeah. A time.

I can show up whenever. I had figured on five-ish. If people were intending on showing up earlier, I can show up earlier. If people were intending on showing up later, then I'd do that too (:

Probably I'll wear bunny ears. Or maybe a plastic tiara. Both is not out of the question.

I somehow failed to respond to this till now.

Good!

But....I am working till possibly 7.30, and may also have to be home after that to sort out someone who is picking up some furniture. So it's not looking too good for an early meetup, I'm afraid. I'll try to get down there, anyway.

I was about to ask how I shall know you; but the bunny ears should work :D

Uh-oh. Looks like there's a magazine having a launch party at Mighty Mighty on the 19th; which might make the meetup thing decidedly tricksy.

Erm.

Alternate locations?

Bugger!

What about Matterhorn or Good Luck, then, just keeping to the same vicinity?

I'm going to be in JJ Murphy's because my girlfriend scheduled a meetup of her friends there at the same time. So that's an option? Or Good Luck maybe?

Agreeing is easier than thinking of something else; so let's go with JJ Murphys (:

(I will endeavour to wear bunny ears and/or tiara wherever we go (: )

Random people who have commented on the bunny ears: 1 so far.

Good to meet you guys; glad you were still there when I got down there late. Thanks for organising this, ambilevous.
