Seattle Meetup

March 1, 2005 5:47 PM

Holy Crawdads! It's March first! I'll see you Seattle peeps at The Big Time in the University District on March 5! But what time? I lean toward five-ish, in order to camp out and defend the terrain from unruly grad students!

Notwithstanding any further comments about unruly grad students, I'm for camping out too. And cirocco gets a free pint for taking two doses of unrelenting MeTa abuse since last meetup.

I'm good with 5-ish.

Some MetaFolk *are* unruly grad students, of course.

Jesus fuck. After reading what's transpired on Meta* on the past few days, I hereby rescind my membership. (But I'll still be at the Big Time on Saturday. I mean, hey, beer.)

Dan, better post that to the front page--this meetup reminder isn't getting pushed off fast enough!

See you folks there.

Dammit, got to work Saturday night. Somebody hoist a pint of Stout for me. Cheers!

If Danelope storms off in a huff, I say we all storm off in a huff. A dozen SCREW YOU GUYS, I'M GOIN' HOME messages in a row on the MeTa front page sounds like an unprecedented display of cool. Whoever collects the fewest "No, please don't! We adore you!" replies picks up the bar tab.

Oh, and I'll be there Saturday, and no one needs to buy me a pint or Paypal me a quarter-grand to get me there. Although my rent is due by the fifth and I think the city is about to cut off my electri

I dunno, have you priced huff rentals recently?

Right up until your advisor finds out.

Jeez, that was fun, guys!

Maybe we should go bowling next time!
posted by black8 at 3:40 PM on March 6, 2005

We have cameras.

Bowling is a capital idea, Stacey. Sorry about your glasses.

The lovely "unknown" lass on the first page is spinifex23.

My mink hat does sort of look like a bad wig at first glance. Look, everyone! It's the new Jan Brady! The new Jan Brady, everyone!

Yuppers, that's me. Not showing gums, even.


I'm all for the bowling. I had a blast, and am looking forward to the next bash. Glad to have met all of you!

I have camera too, will get a chance to post my photos tonight probably.

I had fun, too, it was good seeing y'all!

My family came into town and I was obligated to attend them. Next time! Especially if there's bowling.
posted by j.edwards at 2:53 PM on March 7, 2005

Hey, all. I really enjoyed myself too, though by the end of the thing, I was completely consumed.

We were concerned you wouldn't make it.

I LIVE!

Kindall, post yer pics!
posted by astruc at 10:08 PM on March 7, 2005

My photos. Fewer turned out than I'd have liked due to my reluctance to use the flash.

My epiglottis is filled with bees!

It was great to see you all! Will definitely be there next time. P.S. Am I supposed to say who I thought was cute?
