  	<title>Philadelphia Meetup: April 2009</title>

  	<description>Tired from all the MetaFilter Brotherly Lovin&apos;?  I&apos;m not.  Let&apos;s have another Philly meet-up. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; We&apos;ve done Fairmount.  We&apos;ve done Chinatown.  Where shall we visit next?  Will it be a snooty Rittenhouse tra-la-la?  Will it be a funky West Philly adventure?  A Dave-and-Buster&apos;s corporate bonding experience?  

All suggestions welcome. 

My contributions:

- A desuetude-hosted South Philly Pub Crawl.
- Philadelphia Film Festival viewing/post-movie hang-out sesh.</description>

  	<description>As I do with all Philly meetups, I declare that I WILL make this one. &lt;small&gt;...and probably will back out at the last second.&lt;/small&gt;.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
I like the idea of Dave and Buster&apos;s. The one meetup I attended involved bowling, so I&apos;m going to throw that out there again.</description>

  	<description>Northern Liberties has a few neat places that could accommodate a group. We went to Standard Tap a few months ago, and even though it was 9:00 on a Saturday night, the downstairs bar was packed but the upstairs was practically empty. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Also, the burgers fucking rule.</description>

  	<description>Unofficial of course but I think I&apos;m gonna be spinning records at the Ugly Moose 1st saturday in April. I know, i know, it&apos;s in Manayunk, but it was &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.usatoday.com/travel/destinations/10great/2009-03-12-irish-pubs_N.htm&quot;&gt;written up&lt;/a&gt; in USA TODAY, and it&apos;s pretty big and it doesn&apos;t suck to hang out there and you&apos;re all invited of course.</description>

  	<description>Hey turntables, how close to public transit is ye olde uglee moose?  If I can get there via train or (shudder) bus, without too much trouble, I&apos;d be interested in hearing what you are spinning.  &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;small&gt;Unless you&apos;re doing a Rick Astley marathon, in which case I seriously do not want to take public transit just to get rickrolled in person.&lt;/small&gt;</description>

  	<description>It&apos;s like 10 mins from the R6, so not too bad. I don&apos;t have rickroll on vinyl, but I have to admit I&apos;ve been tempted to get it :)</description>

  	<description>Oh, I&apos;ve been &lt;strike&gt;egged on by piratebowling to&lt;/strike&gt; meaning to post something for at least a week, so thanks, greekphilosophy.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
My thoughts:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
* I cannot go to Dave &amp;amp; Busters. I am too fucking cranky to listen to all that racket, and the food sucks. Sorry. /end grump&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
* I will be happy to host a beercrawl part II in South Philly whenever y&apos;all wish.  (Establishments included will feature good food to keep nondrinkers happy.)&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
* I would looove a Philly Film Fest something-or-another. (Ooh, do we need a widget to vote on films!)&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
* When the hell would have any good reason to visit Manayunk other than 31d1&apos;s gig? How can we pass this up?!&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Incidentally, we need a place to archive our meetup locations besides sifting through the old threads. Can we do this in the wiki?</description>

  	<description>I am probably unable to go to Manayunk if I have to work Early in the morning, which I most likely will given the date.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
I am hugely, HUGELY in favor of a South Philly pub crawl, since I would be able to comfortably stumble home after. Plus, South Philly is awesome.</description>

  	<description>ok I didn&apos;t mean to derail or anything, but I&apos;ve confirmed I&apos;m definitely throwing some kind of party at the moose on the 4th so everyones welcome but should also not keep us from planning more stuff :) I think I scored a good beer special, and also want to note in case it matters that the moose is actually technically in roxborough not manayunk!</description>

  	<description>31d1 + Moose: what&apos;s not to love? &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
(I&apos;ve never been to the Ugly Moose, but I do like the moose diorama at the Academy of Natural Sciences exceedingly.)</description>

  	<description>Okay, I&apos;m with lagreen and 31d1: there&apos;s no reason we can&apos;t plan more than one event.  I&apos;m just going to invoke revisionist history here and suggest we call 31d1&apos;s shindig the &quot;March&quot; meetup (and then asterisk it in the history books), and we&apos;ll go ahead and plan the April meetup here.  &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
So comment with the deets, 31d1/turntables, and we&apos;ll go ahead and put a linky on the calendar for the 4th.  Anyone want to ride the train with me out to Roxborough?  &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
As for the April meetup, I have to admit that, like desuetude, I&apos;m kind of allergic to Dave and Busters.  I just put it up there in an effort to avoid being too my-interests-centric.  (I suspected that I wouldn&apos;t attract too many people to an event that featured tea, cookies and watching Jeopardy! in my living room, which is what passes for fun in my life.)  I would probably come down with ebola if the Philly hivemind decided on Dave and Buster&apos;s as the venue.  Bowling, though, is a fun option.  And there has been nothing in Northern Liberties in 2009, so Standard Tap could be fun. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
And even if it doesn&apos;t make the meetup, here&apos;s the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.phillycinefest.com/&quot;&gt;info&lt;/a&gt; on the Philly Film Fest with a schedule, for anyone who might want to go be artsy fartsy with me.  My short list includes: Zift, The Sea Wall, Julia, Summer Hours, Before the Fall, Boy Interrupted, Moon, the Quay Sampler, Children of Heaven, and Surveillance.  I&apos;m almost certainly going to see Julia, because it is Tilda Swinton and I &amp;lt;3 her.  The same goes for The Sea Wall, except it is Isabelle Huppert who I am busy loving in that one.</description>

  	<description>I&apos;ve missed the last couple meetups, but I&apos;ll be back after April 8th in Philly.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
I agree about Dave &amp;amp; Busters, sorry folks. I went there with some out of town friends this winter for the first time, and except for the trivia game, I didn&apos;t really have much fun.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
But alcohol and delicious food and bowling are all delightful ideas. It looks like I won&apos;t be back in time for the film festival, which saddens me.</description>

  	<description>greekphilosophy, what passes for fun in your life sounds like heaven to me! Someday I will have a living room that&apos;s not filled with toys and will be allowed to watch what I want again while enjoying tea and cookies. ^_^</description>

  	<description>Actually, polexa may have hit on something important here:  Why haven&apos;t we put together a MetaFilter Quizzo Dream Team yet?  I fear we would dominate so thoroughly that we&apos;d be asked not to compete in the future.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Also chihiro, you and I should totally have a Jeopardy! date.  You can bring your fiddle and we can jam on some Telemann.  :)</description>

  	<description>I will brave the train to the borough of Rox with you, greekphilosophy.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
I like tea, cookies and watching Jeopardy! in my living room; several of those film picks, bowling (though yes, we were at North Bowl what, last spring?), Quizzo...&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
piratebowling, what days are your weekend?&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
April is tough for me, though. I&apos;m out of town for work from the 16th-22nd.</description>

  	<description>Ohhh, dudes. Quizzo. Quizzo with this group would be un-freaking-beatable. I captained a Quizzo team last year out at the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thewhiptavern.com/home.html&quot;&gt;Whip Tavern&lt;/a&gt; (authentic English pub out in the wilds of Chester County, way awesome, btw), and we totally won the 8-week tournament. So yeah, I would be down like a rodeo clown witha MeFi Quizzo night.</description>

  	<description>The 25th is empty on my calendar right now. I&apos;m putting in an all-day Metafilter event so I don&apos;t forget.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Quizzo sounds incredible; the only part of Dave &amp;amp; Buster&apos;s I like is the trivia game anyway. But who hosts Quizzo on Saturday night?</description>

  	<description>April 4 is up on the calendar.  &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Weeekends look pretty dark for Quizzo.  Does meetup interest drop of precipitously if the meetup is scheduled on a weekday evening?</description>

  	<description>I would totally do a quizzo any night of the week.  I don&apos;t mind showing up to work exhausted if it means I had spent it being a trivia nerd.  Fridays are the only shaky days, since it sometimes means I&apos;m not out of work until 9 or so.</description>

  	<description>I definitely can&apos;t make the April 4th thing, as a friend of mine is running a marathon in Honeybrook that day, and we&apos;re having everyone over here for an early-season, post-run pig-out. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Speaking of: if any hungry people are going to be in the wilds of Chester County on the afternoon of April 4th, drop me a line and I&apos;ll pass along the details of the BBQ.</description>

  	<description>So we&apos;ve heard good things about QuizMasterChris.  And I just want to get a date set.  So here it goes - if you&apos;ve got firsthand knowledge that will lead us to a better Quiz Night, then speak now and we&apos;ll do it!  But otherwise, I propose:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
12 Steps Down&lt;br&gt;
9th and Christian St.&lt;br&gt;
7:30pm &lt;br&gt;
April 29, 2009.&lt;br&gt;

  	<description>Oh nice. I&apos;m going to tentatively say yes -- while downtown is usually impractical for us when it&apos;s mid-week, the 29th is a Wednesday, and I work from home on Thursdays, so it&apos;s doable! &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;

  	<description>Yeah, that was def. the original meaning of the phrase.  But being a little gay boy, I never read it that way.  I always thought it had some homoerotic subtext: aka &quot;boys over girls.&quot;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
But I&apos;m meeting up with a MeFite while I&apos;m up there, so that counts for SOMETHING right?</description>

  	<description>Speaking of homoeroticism and trivia, the only quizzo I&apos;ve ever won is Queer Quizzo. So if quizzo goes down at some point, I&apos;ll happily throw my knowledge of Teh Ghey into the hat. Moreover, I&apos;m happy to ho the skreets of Philadelphia for any MeFite pimp who&apos;s filling out their ranks (no DP; $20, same as in &lt;a href=&quot;http://metatalk.metafilter.com/17569/Welcome-to-Meta&quot;&gt;Meta&lt;/a&gt;).</description>

  	<description>Question: how smoky is 12 Steps Down? I can never keep track of the smoking ban rules downtown -- is Philly completely smoke-free these days? &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
I ask only because, as an Impregnated-American, it&apos;s probably a good idea to avoid excessively smoky spots for the time being.</description>

  	<description>I am receiving conflicting reports of whether or not they&apos;re smoking at 12 Steps these days. I will check it out and report back.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Philly is &lt;em&gt;almost &lt;/em&gt;entirely smoke-free, but bars meeting certain criteria (criteria is pretty much strip clubs and old-man corner bars) could apply for exemption permits if they wished; a limited number were granted.</description>

  	<description>So we&apos;re a week away.  Just thought I&apos;d pop in here to revive it in everyone&apos;s recent-activity feed and remind everyone to start pounding ginko biloba, put new batteries in your thinking cap, and start memorizing the order of Catholic popes.  Ya know, just in case.</description>

  	<description>I just called 12 Steps Down, and they do allow smoking. Which means, unfortunately, that the mister and I are going to have to take a pass. Y&apos;all think smart! I expect to hear about a trophy -- or at least free bar food -- from you brainiacs!</description>

  	<description>fucking smoking. i hate that shit. now i have to wear ratty clothes so my &quot;nice&quot; clothes don&apos;t get all smoketacular. even when i WAS a smoker, i hated going to smoke-filled places. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
if there are any questions about henry viii&apos;s wives, i&apos;ve got it covered. or questions about cupcakes. or chicago style. other than that, i have lost all knowledge that i used to have or that could have been useful.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
is there a cover charge for this thing?</description>

  	<description>Boo on the smoking, but I will don my gas mask (gotta wear it anyway because of the pig flu) and trek down to the 12 steps. Perhaps with a friend in tow. &lt;br&gt;

There will be nametags to assist with the MeFi/realworld crossover.  If you don&apos;t know what any of us look like, don&apos;t be shy.  Just listen for a joke about a wookie or for someone to say, &quot;Christ, what an asshole.&quot;</description>

  	<description>I also knew the capital of Yemen, the family name in &quot;Little Women&quot; and Josh Groban&apos;s longtime girlfriend&apos;s first name.  But noooooo, now I have to live in infamy for picking Viagra as the correct common name for sildenafil citrate...&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Good to see everyone.  I&apos;d love to do this again - but next time we need to pick a non-smoky bar.  The smoke is fail.  I am home and I smell like a night out in 2005.</description>

Like viagra and powdered adderal? Or that faint bleach-like smell...&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
I&apos;m also going to work on uploading the pictures once I get home tonight.</description>

  	<description>Sorry I missed the Quizzo - I&apos;d be up for it in a non-smoky bar! &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Also taking a preliminary poll: how do we Philadelphia Mefites feel about the noble and ancient game of ping pong?</description>

  	<description>Northern Libs is so less convenient. Though recent sinus issues have forced me to limit my time in beloved Soufphilly smoky bars, too.</description>

  	<description>nolibs is inconvenient. i like to limit myself to a very small section of philadelphia. luckily, it&apos;s a town that lends itself to homebodyism and xenophobia. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
also, polexa, bring your friend to other meetups, he was fun!</description>
