Dungeons & Dragons

This sounds like fun, but my schedule is so random I doubt I would be able to make it work. But... maybe?

Georgian Soup Dumplings and All The Games

This sounds lovely, as I am in Pasadena, and this is close by, but I am never, ever, free over the weekends-- I usually have to work until late in the evenings.

መልካም ምግብ (Ethiopian food!) - Meals by Genet

Guys, is there any way of having a meet-up that's not early Sunday afternoon? I'm almost always working every Sunday.
posted to MeFi IRL by suburbanbeatnik at 8:49 PM on August 3, 2014

So shall we have a non-Sunday meet-up this August? I don't have my schedule yet for the 31st, so it's possible I can make it for Ethiopian food (though it's not likely).

Meetup at Sunset Beer in Echo Park

I really , REALLY want to meet you guys, but I'm working until 9 PM next Saturday! :(

Contemporary Opera Scenes at the Hammer Museum (with MeFites speicus and Thin Lizzy!) (Free!)

I'll be there in a retro 60s little black dress with a friend. See you there!

Meetup at the Congregation in Pasadena

It seems that Sunday is the general pick. What Sunday would work better-- the 14th or the 21st?
posted to MeFi IRL by suburbanbeatnik at 10:00 PM on October 8, 2012

Bingo? That doesn't really sound like my idea of a good time. Does anyone know how long these games run?
posted to MeFi IRL by suburbanbeatnik at 7:01 PM on October 9, 2012

OK cool. So... how about the 14th, at 6 PM then?
posted to MeFi IRL by suburbanbeatnik at 3:14 PM on October 10, 2012

If this helps, I will be wearing turquoise skinny jeans, black boots, a black batwing shirt and lots of jewelry.

Meetup in Los Angeles

Okay, cool! So there's three specific votes for the Roost. How many votes for the Congregation?
posted to MeFi IRL by suburbanbeatnik at 2:30 AM on September 2, 2012

All right. How IS parking at the Roost? I know that for the Congregation in Pasadena, there are a few parking garages nearby that give you the first hour and a half free, then charge after that (but it's not unreasonable).
posted to MeFi IRL by suburbanbeatnik at 8:34 PM on September 2, 2012

All right. It seem that the Roost is actually slightly edging out the Congregation-- so it's the Roost! Also, the preference seems to be for Sundays, so the 16th sounds reasonable. The Roost, at 7, on the 16th? What do you guys think? I think we should also meet at the Congregation later in the month too, for the more Pasadena-centric MeFites.
posted to MeFi IRL by suburbanbeatnik at 10:33 PM on September 8, 2012

I have made it so! After this meet-up, I'll post about the proposed Congregation meet-up and we can sort out the details then.
posted to MeFi IRL by suburbanbeatnik at 3:11 PM on September 9, 2012

Ok, I'm coming now! I might be a bit late, but I'll be there. I'll be the one in the pink top and the gray skirt.
posted to MeFi IRL by suburbanbeatnik at 6:40 PM on September 16, 2012

Thanks for coming, guys! I do think it turned out pretty well-- we had a great turnout. Next month: Pasadena!

Meetup in Atlanta

Hmm... that's almost an hour's drive for me to get there. Would it be possible to meet anywhere in College Park?
posted to MeFi IRL by suburbanbeatnik at 10:17 PM on April 20, 2012

I've never been to Manuel's, but just looking at the website is off-putting. Plus, I'd have to drive an hour, so yeah, I'd rather not go there. How does The Brake Pad in downtown College Park sound? I've never been there, but it gets pretty good reviews on Yelp, plus it looks nice in the pictures. And it has a full bar! What do you guys think?
posted to MeFi IRL by suburbanbeatnik at 9:11 AM on April 21, 2012

I'm in Peachtree City.
posted to MeFi IRL by suburbanbeatnik at 9:35 AM on April 21, 2012

Mkim, I agree-- I think the Corner Tavern would be a good place to meet. It seems reasonable, it's accessible to MARTA, and-- for the sake of variety-- I think it would be a good idea to mix things up and have a meet-up somewhere other than Decatur for once. We can meet at Manuel's next time. :) So, what would be a good day to meet? My schedule's pretty open right now. Any suggestions?
posted to MeFi IRL by suburbanbeatnik at 7:38 PM on April 22, 2012

That's fine with me. Would the earlier or later hour be preferred?
posted to MeFi IRL by suburbanbeatnik at 1:46 PM on April 24, 2012

OK-- I'm ready to put the date and time up. But May 18th or the 19th? What do the rest of you guys think?
posted to MeFi IRL by suburbanbeatnik at 12:15 PM on April 25, 2012

I'll be wearing a dark blue 1980s cardigan with paintbrush swooshies, a hot pink tank and a black miniskirt, if that helps. I'll try my best to be the first one there too.
posted to MeFi IRL by suburbanbeatnik at 7:37 PM on May 18, 2012

It was fun meeting everyone! It was quite a turn-out, wasn't it? Yes, I think we should try West Atlanta next time. It would be fun to see a different part of the city. I'll start asking around for a good place to meet-- and of course, if any of you have a suggestion, I'd love to hear it! :)

Sakura Matsuri // Cherry Blossom Fest. @ Bk. Botanical Gardens

I would love to come... but alas, I live in the wrong state! :(

Atlanta June Meetup

I'd love to go... but I live in Peachtree City, and I don't have the car for tonight. Does anyone live in the area who can give me a lift?

My last week in NYC

Thanks, guys! I made sure to get us a table. This'll be fun!
posted to MeFi IRL by suburbanbeatnik at 4:29 PM on March 8, 2011

Oh yeah!, there's Five Guys on Laguardia Place, less than a block away. I often go there to eat before I go drinking. :)

Because We Clearly Can't Be Bothered to Use IRL

This sounds like fun-- maybe I'll be able to make it. Um... at the risk of sounding dumb... how do these things work? No one's going to be wearing a nametag, right? :P

What if you don't know anything about Minecraft? I had to wiki it just now to figure out what it was.
posted to MeFi IRL by suburbanbeatnik at 7:31 PM on October 14, 2010

OK, I'm about to step out. I hope I can find you all in this crowded bar!
