Photos of last night's San Francisco meetup.
posted by DaShiv to MetaFilter Gatherings at 5:18 PM (49 comments total)

In attendance were: DaShiv, scarabic, bendy, quasistoic, occhiblu, caitlinb, jewzilla, cali, Frisbee Girl, and ooga_booga.

None of the fancy portraits this time, I'm afraid, since I'm in the middle of moving right now and my worldly possessions (including most of my camera equipment) are all packed up in boxes still. Luckily, ooga_booga and Frisbee Girl brought their own cameras, too.

Anyone else going up to Burning Man starting next weekend? scarabic and I were wondering if we have enough people going to meet up with while we're there.

Look at those people in jackets. Here we're having a heat wave, like 97 F. with 90% humidity. I hate you all!

I won't be there, but look for my friends and their playa-go-round.

Great to see you all - some nice new faces, too!

You are extremely cute.

I wanna know where I can get me one of those cool orange jackets.

Portland is jealous of San Francisco meetups.

yeah, you bastards FINALLY GO TO ZEITGEIST, and I'm not there.

good one.

I could've .. uh. got really. drunk. or something.

[taps watch]

yeah, fishfucker, you know we often toss around the concept of your actually showing up, but only as a theoretical :)
posted by scarabic at 9:48 PM on August 19, 2005


Bother, it looked like fun. However, the missus had a Procedure that morning, and needed care and attention at home.

DaShiv, scarabic, I'll be on the playa. Camping with Moonbase around 3:30 and Delerium.
posted by 5MeoCMP at 10:55 PM on August 19, 2005


Wow, can I look more like a dork? Good photos of everyone else though, DaShiv.
posted by ooga_booga at 10:58 PM on August 19, 2005


Go Team MoFi!

Wish I was there, dammit.
posted by tracicle at 11:00 PM on August 19, 2005


I'm going to be camping with the Space Cowboys on the playa this year. I'd definitely be down with a meetup at some point. Did anyone actually make it to the meetup at last year's or does Burning Man not really lend itself to appointments?
posted by pokeydonut at 11:31 PM on August 19, 2005


5MeoCMP - we'll be nearby at the 3:00 Plaza - the camp name is Borrachos Y Bicicletas (aka: the bike repair camp). Swing by!

pokeydonut - lucky you! We must have some friends of friends in common. I'm pondering posting some meetup coorindates, but last year I tried and literally everyone, for one reason or another, missed them (including me!).

More soon!
posted by scarabic at 11:36 PM on August 19, 2005


Um, has it already been established that scarabic is totally hot? Also, this makes me miss San Francisco!
posted by youarejustalittleant at 12:41 AM on August 20, 2005


ooga_booga, if I had a panacea for lookinglikedorkitis, there's no way I'd waste it on you when I could be curing myself instead. Especially after I've had some drinks in me.
posted by DaShiv at 1:25 AM on August 20, 2005


Got to get to San Francisco one day. Awesome
posted by Chimp at 1:28 AM on August 20, 2005


youarejustalittleant, it's so well established that there has been a moratorium placed on mentions of scarabic's hotness. You'll just have to find a quiet place to contemplate it like everyone else.

I had so much fun I went out with the MoFi crew again tonight. ooga_booga swears he has two of those shirts.
posted by cali at 1:42 AM on August 20, 2005


Heh, good point DaShiv. Dork solidarity! I do too have two of the shirts, Cali - they're just that cool. Someone should let Amberglow know that he got his shoutout tonight to make up for the lack of one last night, though. And someone wake up Hicks.
posted by ooga_booga at 2:16 AM on August 20, 2005


youarejustalittleant, i said that the last time DaShiv posted SF photos and got my ass handed to me for being shallow and making it impossible for mefites to go to meetups without feeling scrutinized. nevermind that people effing zoomed in on mrs.pants' chest on the flickr photos and left comments. jeez.

but yes, yes he is. ha! i said it again.

I heard they were giving away free ibooks, too.

Frjtz!!!! I love that place. Perfect for a smallish meetup.
posted by scarabic at 9:33 AM on August 20, 2005


great pictures, as always, DaShiv...
rebirtha - I just moved here to Portland. I'd be up for a meetup.

Hey New Yorkers! What say we chip in to fly DaShiv out here just to take our pix?
posted by CunningLinguist at 9:48 AM on August 20, 2005


Mathowie, lemme know if you need info on the shirt thing. Tracicle and I did most of the footwork to get them going for mofi. Contact me offline and I'll give you the benefit of my experience.

But only to the first 15,000 members.

To make me look good? He's a photographer, not a miracle worker!

*blushes* Thanks Dr. Wu!

It was a complete hoot and a little mind blowing, since I've been reading MeFi for the better part four years and suddenly was sitting at one of my favorite bars with people whom I'd only read on a screen or talked to in IRC. A bit 'wow, huh?!' for certain.

Very, very cool and hope it happens again soon!

And, ahem, I did the design for the shirt. Strange how we monkeys get around...

Milwaukee had its own meetup tonight, it mainly involved me shelving books at work and reminiscing to my self about great threads of the past (remember 32045?). I'll post pictures later.

From this screen, MetaFilter has at least a liberal scattering of good looking people. Don't hand my ass to me; I know where it is.

J, I'm in favor of a meetup but since I'm new I was hoping everyone could get a chance to find me witty and endearing first. Still and all, I don't recall when the last meetup was. Maybe it's time.

Because meetups are only permitted in places where the good lookin' people hang out (oh, and NYC as well, of course).

Now you know why I don't show up to these things.
