Meet-up in the South Bay

September 14, 2009 8:29 PM

South Bay Meet-up anyone?

Recently moved to Mountain View and we don't know anyone, which is a little crazy making. Missed the anniversary meet-up (which was right down the street!) for a rock-n-roll show.
So, Mefites in and around, care to toss a few back and chat?

It is possible, assuming you do not smell bad.

Hows next week for ya'll, possibly the week after? Not knowing anyone leaves the schedule marvelous free. We've become fast fans of Murphys in Sunnyvale, but I'm open to suggestions. Also, I'm told I smell like the laughter of kittens.

Another maybe. Maybe!!

Keen! What a potential turn out. Anyone have a problem with next Thursday, the 24th in Sunnyvale?
posted by mikoroshi at 3:52 PM on September 15, 2009

Thursday would be swell since I'm actually in Sunnyvale tue-thu for work, but in SF otherwise. I'm much less likely to flake if I don't have to commute for it. What time did you have in mind?

By Murphy's I assume you mean Scruffy Murphy's. Correct? 'Cuz there's also a place called Murphy's Law practically across the street.

That area of Sunnyvale is always good for me; it's right around the corner from where I live. BTW, Murphy Ave is closed to traffic now due to construction but all of the businesses are still open.

Oh, I was thinking of Murphy's law, they have that lovely big back patio, if it's nice out. But either is fine. Haven't been to Scruffy's.

I haven't been to either, actually, so whatever is good!

Well, awesome, let's say next Thursday the 24th at Murphy's Law in Sunnyvale around 6:30. I'm quite stoked, despite 3 years as a member and three more as lurker I've never been to a meetup. How do we all recognize each other?

How do we all recognize each other?

I don't know about the others but I'm part Rottweiler, part Pit bull with a little bit of hound. So, I should..um..be easy to recognize.

PS: Bring treats!

I'll be the guy that looks like me profile picture. I'll probably bring the camera too (it's "my thing" at meetups, I suppose).
posted by zsazsa at 1:52 PM on September 17, 2009

I mean "my" profile picture. If you look for someone who talks like a leprechaun, you won't be able to find me.
posted by zsazsa at 1:53 PM on September 17, 2009

Since this post has long scrolled off the front page of MeTa, care to make it official so it shows up in the meetup list?
posted by zsazsa at 10:32 AM on September 21, 2009

do it zsazsa!
posted by special-k at 12:04 PM on September 21, 2009

Sweet, I can make this. I'll be the dorky girl in the "Everyone Needs a Hug" t-shirt.
posted by sarahnade at 9:59 AM on September 22, 2009

If I do make it I'll be late. How long do you all expect to be around?

I wonder if my Snowflake t-shirt still fits. I haven't tried it since I washed it.

Five people here right now!

I'm lame.

Funnest meetup evar! Sunnyvale brings the goods yet again.

It was awesome, except for the part where I woke up with Banana Phone stuck in my head.
posted by sarahnade at 10:51 AM on September 25, 2009

More fun than should be permissible on a Thursday...night....when one has to get up at 6.

Still gotta scan my pics.
