Anyone interested in a Meetup.com type event?  That is, is anyone interested in getting together over coffee, beer or whatever to yap about gaming?

I've been meaning to post the same question.   I was thinking lunch on a saturday or sunday.  We know this great Mediterranean place in uptown that is both carnivore and vegetarian friendly.  I assume bayouhalfling doesn't want to make the drive but everyone else should be close enough.

Sounds like a good idea.  I'd be up for it.  

That's 3.  Let's give this a little more time for responses.

I think at least 2 others from the stark group would show up.   The question is do we try this week or is that pushing it?  Do we need a little more time for people to notice since most of the people who've posted (and aren't in my group) check weekly or monthly?

I think we should wait a week and I think we should try doing this monthly.  I'd also recommend alternating saturday and sunday and maybe lunch/dinner.   We could try during the week if someone complains because they aren't around town on the weekends.

So, I call for a meetup Sat Aug 9, high noon at Pyramids.  (Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to or )


Meetup 2 will be Sun Sept 7 at the same place.

Following meetups will occur based on interest and participation.


So, who will show up Aug 9?

I will.

I will, if I can figure out how to get there on the bus or get a ride from someone. I'm on Frenchman near St. Claude.

Can't say for sure it will be a regular thing once UNO starts, but being fresh in town, it'd be great to meet some fellow gamers.

I can make an effort to attend.  Can't guarantee anythig for sure tho.

Scott, I sent you a PM (look at the top of the screen, click the 'X messages' text).

I've tried calling you but you must be screening my call (area code 919).

Saturday is gaming day for my group so we couldn't make it. Although Sunday might be a better option so the Sept 7. I'll post it up to the group and see how many takers.

I don't think I have anything else going on the 9th.  I should be able to make it.  Pyramids looks like it's only a few blocks from my place so that would be ideal.  Hope to see you there!!

Take a lunch break... bring the whole group.   ;D

High noon on the 9th at Pyramids works for me.

In the next day or two I will setup a new top level area for meetups.  Each month I will start a new thread with the next meeting place and time and a poll to count who will show up.    So when the area shows up go ahead and vote if you will be there post if its needed.

Hopefully this will be a way to catch new people and I will try to fill the top post with all the buzzwords so google will find the thread each month.

Saturdays are usually my "family" day...but, if I call this a "business" meeting, she might not object. ha ha.

So, I've scheduled it...hopefully I can get away.

I want to talk to you about some web stuff anyway, so call it a consultation.  :)

Perfect!

So, now it's legit.   8-)
