My, what sparkling conversation you'll have.


I kid because I love. And because it's easy.

I'll be just about to board a plane for Dublin, or I would be there too. Next time. :)

I'll try to make it. I'll know better closer to the date.

I'm up. I may be a bit late though.

Are you going to tell the hostess you're "Metafilter"?

I think that would be best.
See you then :)

Should maybe clarify; would we meet in the lounge, or the restaurant? Is there even a lounge there?
posted by vernondalhart at 3:55 PM on April 30, 2006

Just checked their website, and there is a bar. Let's do meet there.

Oh you lose. I'm going to be in Whistler on Thursday.

can't. my wisdom teeth are coming out that afternoon.

Can't: weekends are better for me (coming from Seattle), plus I'm kind of meetuped out for a while.

So is that 5 'yes's?
What's the final tally?

I'll try convince one of my friends to come, also. He's a regular reader, but doesn't post much.
posted by vernondalhart at 6:55 PM on May 1, 2006

I might be there. I have other plans until at least 8pm, though, so if I show I'll be an hour late.

Also, an expensive chain restaurant isn't exactly my idea of a great meetup location (then again, I'm a starving student...). I imagine the choice of venue may be one reason you aren't getting too many RSVP's.

Well, whatever. Should I bother showing up? I don't want to waste my time.
posted by Radio7 at 9:23 PM on May 3, 2006

Actually, scratch the above comment. This doesn't seem to be working out. I have limited time here, so let's just cancel it. Maybe some other time.
:)

wait, so that's official, we're calling it off?
posted by juv3nal at 10:02 PM on May 3, 2006

Yeah, what's the scoop?
posted by vernondalhart at 9:28 AM on May 4, 2006

Well, I got the impression no one was coming. Who/how many are actually up for going? It didn't seem too promising from those last few comments above mine.
email at my mefi name at yahoo dot com - If people are sure on going, then I'll go too. I'm new to this 'organising meetup' thing, it's a little confusing.

Oops, wrong email.
It's the same yahoodeal, but the name is radioflyernyc.
posted by Radio7 at 9:58 AM on May 4, 2006

Okay, so a few of us are going to be there. The more the merrier. Ask the hostess where the mefi people are. 7:30pm Keg Granville Island.Ta,
