Allow me to be the first to suggest Rosamunde.
nosflow, are you moving back there or just visiting for a bit?
If you guys don't go to the Pacific Pinball Museum, I'm going to tell jms to give you all wedgies.
I think he's back for the duration.
Rosamunde works for me.
Rosamunde works for me.
She's part of Minivet Enterprises?
3: You just missed it, but it'll be back next year.
Somehow I am not surprised by Josh's suggestion.
Hurrah!
I'm pretty open as to date, and also location. As long as I can drink and I don't have to shout to be heard, I'm happy.
For your benefit, nosflow, I should probably specify that I'm thinking of the Mission Rosamunde, not the one next to the Toronado.
I'm free this Saturday afternoon, or the following weekend.
I guess we can hash things out here, but we could also plan using a PirateMineshaftPad!
Yeah, this weekend is no good for me, but the following one should be fine.
This weekend is not great for me either (unless you all want to go to the Outsound New Music Festival!!!) but next should do nicely.
Look at all this comity!
"Today I hunt... the most likely game!"
Update - I have a subsequent engagement Saturday at 3. But that's also in the Mission, so I could do Saturday midday or early afternoon.
That's during the same weekend-after-next, to be painfully clear.
If it's next Saturday (the 28th), I have a fighting chance to make it.
July 28th, noon, the Rosamunde in the Mission? It's on my calendar.
nosflow will have been up for seventeen hours by then! What's wrong with four AM?
Heart of oak, sausages and ale for breakfast. Minivet needs to be elsewhere by 3.
Nu, can't he come back later in the evening?
20 implies not. You could come at 2:30 and wave goodbye to him.
If noon doesn't work, I could perhaps drop by later in the evening. Or show up to the other thing late. What would the triumphant general prefer?
I have a fighting chance
That's what we like to see in a meetup. Don't forget your knife.
Noon is dreadful early. Minivet, what time would you be able to come after your other appointment?
I knew jms would be on the side of right.
This has fallen off the front page, but I imagine it'll get a bump eventually.
It's 3PM-indefinite, so it would make more sense if others figured out what their best time was and I tried to make it to that. I suppose some hour 6 or later would be meet, though.
I'll also move this post to the front page.
Wife wants to go camping. Stuck with it. Have fun!
This Saturday, 6 p.m., Rosamunde?
Chopper, have you and your wife considered pitching a tent in Dolores Park? You could pop over to Rosamunde for a beer, and afterwards we can all roast marshmallows by your campsite.
Huh, there's actually a campground in the Presidio. Take your family there, Chopper!
40 comments and not a single one recommending Fresh Salt. What is this place coming to?
41: It's like you didn't even read the OP.
42: As if previous mentions of Fresh Salt have ever prevented people from being the first to recommend Fresh Salt.
Hi everyone, I may be late. Not like an hour late, more like maybe ten or fifteen minutes late.
Ha, you're just telling us that so you can sneak up and give us wedgies.
47: Oh shit, we're expected to actually be there at the time in the OP?
Have you been waiting there for the last two weeks again?
Oops--that was one of those things where the joke was funnier before I made it explicit, right? Sorry.
47: Oh shit, we're expected to actually be there at the time in the OP?
I was going to be there, because I believe in timeliness and courtesy.
Move up again
I think you should replace LB's graphic with this (the istockphoto digital vandalism is a bonus statement).
Now we see the violence inherent in the system.
I was trying to explain to a friend yesterday, who wanted to know what I was up to today, how it could be that (1) there's nothing particularly horrifying about this internet forum, per se, but (2) I really, really didn't want to tell her where exactly it was.
Tell her it's a community of like-minded people who found each other via YouTube comments.
54: Or more precisely, now we don't see the violence inherent in the system.
I am only leaving now, because I've been eeling into my high-school jeans timeliness and courtesy are the violence in the system.
Liveblogging: nosflow managed to just offend and drive off a lurker who decided to join us. Only 15 minutes in!
I should be there 7ish. Glad to know there's liveblogging going on already.
60: Food, music, grammar, or some obscure point of philosophy?
We're playing the Game of Life, slowly creeping from table to table.
X. Trapnel has rebuked josh for not knowing about the top German blog about European constitutionalism.
So, Josh is the only one of you who isn't an asshole?
"Yonkers was quite the powerhouse back in the day" — x. trapnel.
Yonkers was chain of department stores that got bought by somebody bigger.
71, 73: Wait, that looks like it might in fact be correct. I thought I was joking.
On the internet, no one knows when you're joking.
No joke. Okay, meetup over; a respectable five hours.
Purslane is all that (but can worsen kidneystones), and also known as Pusley. My nonexistent son is a fraction luckier in his nonexistence; irresistible nickname.
Montgomery looking like a total badass in high-waisted trousers and a sweater, no waistcoat.
Bay Area Parkour, very earnest, or just hang out with the homegrown planche training vids if you're shallow like me.
(Stack popped now.)
