Shall we do the Beehive in the Southside again? Is anyone up for Friday, May 5th?
posted by Alison at 7:10 PM on April 20, 2007

Scratch that, I meant Friday, May 4th.

So this afternoon wasn't a meetup Alison?

That Friday looks open. Count me in.

I have a show May 4th, so I can't make it. Packy_1962 and I would be up for another date though. And for what it's worth, we cast a vote for Church Brew Works.

The fourth sounds good to us (me and Darthduckie). And the Brew Works or the Beehive are fine too.

Or if there's a day better for ludwig_wan, we up for that too.

May 11th @ the Brew Works?
posted by Alison at 3:57 PM on April 21, 2007

That would be good for us!

Someone should post the date and location to the "upcoming meetups" list before this thread scrolls off the bottom of the page. I'll go ahead and do that if no one objects.
posted by octothorpe at 7:39 PM on April 22, 2007

oho, Pittsburgh. I should try to get to that.

Huh. Four hours each way. If I have a job lined up by then, I might be able to justify the hotel room and the gas...

njm--

Seeing you last weekend in Shadyside reminded me that we were overdue for a meetup. Thanks for saying 'hello'!

I think I make it on the 11th, with a little flim-flammery. Where is Church Brew Works?
posted by Dreama at 10:32 PM on April 27, 2007

3525 Liberty Avenue

Oh, that place! Awesome. I shall endeavor to appear.

Anybody wanting to provide a Time for this, or am I missing it?

that girl: "Anybody wanting to provide a Time for this, or am I missing it?"

I vote for earlier rather than later, maybe 6:00? Weather looks to be nice, we could sit outside.

I am a nOOb, can I come?
posted by serena15221 at 7:40 PM on May 8, 2007

Noobs are welcome! So 6:00 then? Are we posting reminder threads these days, or has that been phased out in favor of the sidebar?
posted by ludwig_van at 4:06 PM on May 9, 2007

I'll probably arrive after 7:00. I'm driving straight from work, so I plan to eat there too.

The Church Brew Works is really big. Has anyone thought of a signal yet? I'll definitely remember everyone from last time, but I'd like to avoid wandering around too much.
posted by njm at 6:47 PM on May 9, 2007

Alright, so we can't actually make it until around 8:00. Someone who is planning on getting there earlier should print out one of those meet up placards. Also, someone who knows the place should decide where we're actually going to sit.
posted by ludwig_van at 9:07 AM on May 11, 2007

I should be there at 7.
posted by gsteff at 10:31 AM on May 11, 2007

Does anybody know where that MeFi-logo placard thingy is? gsteff, print one out if you can. I don't really know the place, but packy_1962 and I will be there around 8 or so.
posted by ludwig_van at 1:17 PM on May 11, 2007

So did anyone make it? I was there until 7:45 or so but didn't see anyone but realized that I had no way to know who anyone was.
posted by octothorpe at 7:15 PM on May 11, 2007

Packy_1962 and I got there at 8:15 and tried in vain to find people. Total failure!
posted by ludwig_van at 8:06 PM on May 11, 2007

But seriously, I think we need to organize a little better if we're to have a successful meetup. Bummer about this one. I thought the pale ale was pretty good, though. But I felt like all the beers were a little weak and none were very hoppy.
posted by ludwig_van at 8:49 PM on May 11, 2007

Yes, a little more organization would have helped.

I scanned the enormous bar/restaurant area for a few minutes before giving up. That was closer to 9:00, so it sounds like I missed the few of you who showed up.
