Somerville, MA meetup on the 23rd?

July 15, 2010 5:13 PM

Hey, Boston area people. Anyone going to the Jonathan Coulton show on the 23rd in Somerville? Should we do a thing?

I...that's all I have. Maybe we should do a thing.

(I know, there's that other meetup already, but that's way too far for me.)

DiscourseMarker and I are going (holy cow do we have great seats!) and we'd be happy to meet up beforehand.

I'm not going to the show, but I could be convinced to show up for a meetup before/after.

Right, I forgot about that! Are there still tickets available?

I'm not going to the show, but I could easily make it to a meetup.

What time does the show start? What time does the show end? That'd be helpful to know in order to inform when a meetup should take place.

I am also not going to the show (which starts at 7:30pm) but could probably do something before/after. Maybe JP Licks ice cream or pizza, beer and bowling at Sacco's/Flat Bread?

I vote for meeting up before for food/beverages. Those people not attending the show can then continue to meet up, if they so desire.

Agreed, DiscourseMarker.

What do you guys say to food at Mike's (the pizza place right in Davis Square) at 5:30?

Sounds good to us.

backseatpilot -- from a blog post of Coulton's an hour and a half ago: "any reports you’ve heard that the Somerville show is sold out are false – painfully, extremely, practically the opposite kind of false. Just saying."

Both Davis and Porter Square are now an 8-minute walk for me, so I will be there.

So...are we calling this? I think it goes to IRL if we have a date/time/place.

I forgot about that step. Uh...I'll put it up as soon as I figure it out!
posted by danb at 7:04 PM on July 19, 2010

IRL. Go forth and RSVP!

Crap. Turns out I can't make this. Sorry guys.

That was fun! Thanks for coming, everyone. Sorry I didn't stick around to find anyone after the show, but there were way too many people around and I started getting antsy. Also I really had to pee

You know, I've missed enough of these by one day that I MOVED AWAY TO SEATTLE.
