Okay, so we have tenatives Yesses for 1/13/02 for me, lemur, Bunner, Gabe, and LadyJ...anyone else?

What time on Sunday and where in Cleveland?

---
When they invent BookFace, I'm -there-.

We could all meet at the local.

Or at Gabe's house since he has a real job and furniture and stuff.

I volunteer anybody but me, but I will cook for food.

:- )

I wanted my half in the middle and I wound up on the edge.

Screw Cleveland!

I just got a new pool table, everyone to my place for lemonade and rice krispie treats.

I can stay out semi late, but unlike those starting work at 3 in the afternoon, I get up around 5am, so I probably won't be up for carousing 'til the wee hours.

This is a spod meet, ya big girl's blouse. Not a meet and greet at the rest home. I've already called you in sick for that day. Don't worry.

What are ya, new?

Does "Cleveland munch" mean what I think it means?

What others say about boorite!

That we're all gonna sit around and talk about what a tool you are? Yes.

I wish I could go so I could see the look on Gabe's face when I kick him in the nuts.

"And Wirthling isn't worth the paper he isn't printed on."

I'll get a picture of it for you.

Since nobody else is taking up the ball here, and that series of comics I did most likely effectively ruined any chance we had of being invited to Gabe's, (heh heh heh heh) I propose a plan:

1: We find out within 30 minutes when everybody who's coming plans to arrive.

2: We all meet at the local, (I.E: The Pride Of Erin Tavern) and do the meet and greet.

3: Next stop: My sad little ghetto hovel for some bitchin` eats.

4: We stake out where we're going and when (Sci-Fi Fest, a club, a film, whatever....) and go there.

5: If it's not airborne by then, we have no social skills and deserve what we get.

Any questions?

Any answers?

Anybody care for a mint? Eet's whaffer theen!

I'm up for it. I'm a guest in your fair city. Do with me what you will. :)

Just to clarify, this gathering is proposed for Sunday, January 13th. It can be from as early that day as you like until as late that night/next morning as any of you can stand.

The sci-fi thing isn't until the following weekend, but all are invited to join me in that, as well.

I'm very jazzed about this. It will be mucho fun.

Can I just be the first to propose that the Glasgow members of the forums never, ever, EVER arrange to meet up for a drinking session. I'm pretty sure that it would end in disaster/carnage. Plus, KKP looks like he could drink me under the table (and I mean that in a completely metaphorical sense).

Dad was flammable

I work til 5pm on Sunday, so I can leave after work and get there by about 7:45pm. Is that too late for the rest of you?

where shall we meet?

Cool.

I'm pretty much wombat-like in my nocturnal-ness

My best guess so far is the Pride of Erin Tavern on W. 132nd and Lorian Ave. It's near Gabe and I both, and close to freeways.

Is that cool?

Everybody?

Gabe?

SAY something you donkey huncher!

It's pretty much just a local pub, though. A cool dump, but a dump. If anybody has anything more snazz-ola in mind, or wants to not be in an alcohol service environment, lemme know.

It's a date.

I'm down with that, bunner. I'll email you and gabe my cell phone number. It won't be a local call for you because it's a Nebraska number, but if there's some kind of emergency and you need to contact me, I'll reimburse you for the call, if necessary.

I will be car-less that evening. If someone wants to be ubercool and pick me up, I'd be eternally grapefruit. Same goes for bringing me back. My host lives in the heights.

It doesn't have to be the same person picking me up as bringing me home, and I can certainly take a cab if no one is able to do it. I may be able to wangle a ride there from my host anyway. Everything's still kinda up in the air. I'm fully prepared to pay for a cab rather than put anyone out, but if people are offering rides, I'd rather spend the cab fare on buying a round or two. :)

An alternative to bringing me back that night is offering me crash space and a ride to a bus in the morning, so I can get to the car rental place.

I'm not concerned about cementing transit plans right now. Things tend to work themselves out. I'm just pleased that this get-together will be happening.

I have free nationwide long distance on my mobile. No worries. I can pick you up or whatever. No prob. Lemme know what's what. I have your number programmed into my mobile.

Kickass.

I'm leaving for the Greyhound Station now. Gabe and Bunner have my cell number. Please call me with details, as I still have no idea where this place is.

I have free nationwide long distance, too. Plus I can call China. And the moon.
