Photos from the Madison meetup on Saturday. We were a small group compared to last time, but fun was still had.

Now if only we knew what happened to our organizer... (*cough* UKnowForKids, I'm talkin' to you.)

Also, I believe some sort of decision was made that the next local meetup should be in Milwaukee. When I wasn't paying attention, I think someone put me in charge of it. So, um, fellow Milwaukeeans, look for a meetup sometime late Spring/early Summer.

Crystalblue and I will be in NY over Easter weekend (Apr. 9-11). No plans have been made, as far as I know.

Doh! I was gonna drive down and go but I forgot. I spent the weekend wondering what the heck it was that I was thinking of doing but could never remember.

But you didn't put up the photo of interrobang smoking his very first cigarette!

I think that guy in one of the pictures stole everything out of my purse.

rocketman -- There actually wasn't a photo of interrobang smoking a cigarette. I was going to add one in somewhere in the photo just to flip him out again, but I was short on time.

Yup. Sorry I couldn't make it - I committed to a last-minute roadtrip to Memphis before realizing I'd double-booked myself. I'm sure you troopers found a way to have fun without me, though.

Also, Graceland is creepy as fuck.

Sounds good; I'll be there with bells on.

Wow. You guys look really drunk. Especially you, John. Next time I'm there!

I will be coming to steal your handbags at the end of may and i think i-cola is coming too, although whether he will steal your handbags is a different matter, anyone else up for nyc at that time ?
I think these lassies will be a bit earlier which is a shame but there you are : )

aine42 - my vote is for a warm-weather meetup at a bar (possibly Paddy's) with outside seating. That way we can combine many good things in one outing - being outside, with beer (preferably Smithwicks) and hanging with fellow MeFites.

You are dead to me.

not really, most of the night was spent cursing your name.

No, it was fun. That "nuts" picture of interrobang made me shudder. I'd be very afraid if I were Miguel.

Well, I'm sorry I moved away from Madison about three years before I discovered MeFi. (And about a year before MeFi existed, for that matter.)

OK, actually I was sorry about leaving Madison before. Now I have one more reason to be sorry.

You're always welcome here, DevilsAvocate.

(And we now have it on good authority that the preferred pronounciation is "eleventy one", not "one one one".)

Yeah, how did he manage to avoid being in the photos again? Sneaky one(x3), he is.

I'm still bummed that I missed it. I was totally bored that night, too. Check my email the next day and find the (now outdated) notice. That'll learn me.

Glad everyone had fun, though.

We were afraid that we'd scared you off last time, kayjay.
