For me, a Saturday afternoon meetup would also be acceptable. Say, 2 p.m.? Wunderground says of future Berkeley weather:
Thursday Night through Saturday Night Mostly clear. Lows near 50. Highs in the upper 60s to mid 70s.
Sounds like good beer-under-the-sun weather to me.
What if you toured a dairy and learned how milk is produced and prepared for delivery? Or you could get together And make a series of window displays on home safety!
Oh, can I make the "don't do it this way" displays? At last a use for all my rusty metal!
It's so lame that you aren't going to a gay sex club. Mineshaft indeed.
Well, I did watch a pig get butchered last Saturday afternoon. A couple Saturdays before that I toured a farm where cattle were being fed grass.
I wish I had watched a pig get butchered last Saturday afternoon.
I did make a gallon of extremely gelatinous pork stock yesterday, but it's not the same.
You could go to a sewage treatment plant.
4 to 3. Sounds like nosflow's bringing rusty trombones for everyone to share; no need for a dedicated club.
I approve of your switch from xkcd to Dinosaur Comics, teo.
Brass doesn't rust, Stanley. It does oxidize, but rust is iron oxide.
I could now do Saturday afternoon or evening, but not Sunday.

Saturday afternoon sounds like it, then. Now you all need to pick a bar.
10: Well how then, I ask you, can a tin roof be rusted?
Because tin roofs are actually coated steel.
Does stock photography ever lie?
I approve of your switch from xkcd to Dinosaur Comics, teo.
I figured you would.
Of course a tin roof can be rusted. Were that not the case, Mr. Nosflow would be accusing the B-52s of being a no-good, dead-beat cadre of liars. And surely he knows they are anything but.
Maybe he's made just such an observation to friends or acquaintances, but never made the equivalent of a public statement. And so here we are, waiting, watching, and wondering just what his real views on the matter could be.
Failed Bay Area meetup planning is the sine qua non of Unfogged.
One more vote for drinking in the afternoon on Saturday.
I apparently still have about 20 minutes left on this laptop battery, so I can say I should be able to make it on Saturday. Hopefully I'll have my power cord by then and be able to check in without having to resort to, gasp, a public library or something like that for the internet.
Saturday afternoon makes swinging by much more likely for me.
I'll be there. After lunch sounds good. Unless I'm carpooling with someone, Captain Awesome can drop me off (on the motorcycle, so I will be wearing my nifty "90's girl band" boots) and pick me up, so you might even get to meet him.
Doesn't Josh ride a motorcycle, too? Will he be there? I predict a knife fight (especially since the Brits just let us down on this account).
OK, feeling like critical mass. 2PM at Jupiter?
I updated the post, not that anyone'll see it.
I saw it, neb, and your commitment to the knife fight heartens.
Will he be there?
Wow, people really *don't* read my comments.
Anyway since Josh isn't around, I guess we'll never know.
Too bad, he'd probably vote for drinking in the afternoon on Saturday.
Just boarded the N-Judah, so I should be there around 2:15.
Made it to Civic Center! This is so exciting. Richmond train in 6 minutes.
BL and I are here and have claimed one of the picnic tables in the garden.
Holy crap! There's a meetup! RIGHT NOW! AND THERE"S LIVEBLOGGING!
MIGHT I PLOTZ?
THERE"S
It would appear that Tweety, in his excitement, held down the shift key they whole way through, rather than applying the more staid approach of using CAPS LOCK. This fact pleases me and irrationally so.
So he meant to say:
RIGHT NOW1 AND THERE'S LIVEBLOGGING1
MIGHT I PLOTZ/
I meant the whole way through that particular word. Yeah. That's it.
$%: Actually< my comment doesn"t really makes sense: it works your way quite well>
Update: fake accent, Otto, Minivet, and nosflow have arrived.
Also, nosflow just grabbed Belle's ass.
That's the stuff right there! Now you grab nosflow's ass by way of revenge.
43: I'm almost always too excited to use caps lock.
I thought I couldn't come, and then I was late, and then I was too shy to shout "Who wants to sex Mutombo?" But if you all are *still* there, I'll walk back.
Meetups should last late into the wee hours and contain karaoke singing. THOSE ARE THE RULES.
Clew, just look for the folks doing body shots off of Nosflow.
I'm in a blue sweater. Wolfson looks like Wolfson.
Coming! I am wearing a blue dress and a straw hat, and probably peered at you worriedly half an hour ago.
I should be making a brief appearance in a bit. Meant to be there earlier, but I suck.
Wolfson is critiquing forehead sizes. Bastard.
Photos! Video! Don't you people know the first thing about liveblogging?
ATTENTION TEO: nosflow just used an XKCD reference to illustrate a point in conversation.
64: Did you make entreaties for pizza?
Heavy liveblogging. Very satisfying.
I made broad hints in the direction of pizza.
It made no objection to manual manipulation, so I proceeded to oral.
We're on track for some anal action in a while.
Liveblogging! s/b Deep Dish! Well, actually not that deep.
Is neb dropping some kids off at the pool?
I had a good idea for an xkcd recently: using the "your mom" joke in reverse!
Crappy example:
A: "Oh, wow, this beverage is totally slamming."
B: "Yeah, just like you were slamming my mom last night!"
A: "So, how *did* you get the drummer off your front porch?"
B: "I sent my mom out."
There were no links to dinosaur comments, but dinosaurs did come up.
comments s/b comics
(as in you should all draw your comments and post the images in comments (if images were enabled))
The Brad Neely Washington for Minivet and others who may not have seen it.
This reminds me that I finally watched a bunch of drunk histories a while after the thread dedicated thereto and they were, indeed, mostly great.
And if anyone's interested, the first Andronico's does indeed appear to be the Solano location, and the Berkeley Co-op closed its last location in 1988.
Oh, and here's the House in the Middle, in which good domestic habits fight THERMONUCLEAR WAR.
