Dear the fine folks of los angeles:

I challenge you to a meet-up! It's been quite a while since one was organized and it's high time that another one take place.

Okay, I'll bite. Boardner's in Hollywood? Sometime next week?

Yeah! I'm sad that I missed the last one.

forallmankind says he'll go...

eek! I didn't know everyone would want to do something so soon.

I am much better off doing something on the weekend after next.

sound like a better plan? it would allow us more time to co-ordinate our wardrobe choices.

I can't be the only one who felt he was being challenged to punch the mayor. Can I?

Hollywood is a madhouse on the weekends -- it would be murderous to try to get parking on a Friday or Saturday night, methinks. I'd say a weeknight evening for Boardner's, or a different location for a weekend (the Golden Gopher downtown seemed to work well last time...but I can't remember if that was a weekend or weeknight gathering.)

In any case, someone pick a date -- scodyboy and I want to get up to Big Sur in the next few weeks, so I'll try to work around a meetup date.

The 20th SUCKs for me. Most of the rest of next week is still open though.

The Golden Gopher was a cool place but not great for photographs if people are looking for that kind of thing.

The 19th is 50/50 for me (I'll be radioactive that day -- for reals! I'll tell everyone the story!), so I vote for the_bone's suggestion of doing something in parking-ample West Hollywood that Friday or Saturday night (21st or 22nd). Care to suggest an establishment, Monsieur Bone? (And I presume spacekitty will be joining us, too?)

oh yeah, didn't we have brunch at Basix once? It was tasty. I'm in for the 22nd.

weekend/week after . . . I just wanted to say that I'm pretty unavailable next week but anything the week after (the week starting the 24th) is fine.

wednesday the 26th at boardner's/basix (I haven't been to either so I am not one to be making decisions) sound good?

Sounds good.

Unfortunately for you LA MeFites, I'm down here in SoCal THIS WEEK! Weep for the missed opportunity! Hahahaha--

--err, I didn't bring my cameras with me anyway, so um, yeah. *shuffles away quietly*

I'm down! sounds like a plan!
posted by punch_the_mayor at 10:53 PM on April 12, 2006


Sounds good to me:)
That's practically the only reason I check MeTa these days - in hopes of an L.A. meetup.
Wooyayhoopla!

Huh, that actually works for me too. Count me in!
posted by speicus at 1:54 AM on April 13, 2006


I'll try and make it. Can someone e-mail me directions from Pasadena area? Thanks in advance!
posted by 6:1 at 6:51 PM on April 15, 2006


Never mind, a friend gave me directions.

Hey, I'd kind of like to attend too. Maybe. If I have time to study up on MeFi so that I don't feel left out when y'all commence with the in-jokes.
posted by PY at 6:47 PM on April 16, 2006


I'll try for it too, since I still regret missing the last meet-up.
posted by maryh at 2:19 AM on April 17, 2006


ah, just realized I'll be in SF on Wednesday, 4/26. Will try to meetup another time, and hopefully check out Basix one day too.

Argh! Schedule has changed for me, I am ducking out. Sorry folks. Another time . . .
