So, Wednesday is April 4th, the first Wednesday in April. Shall we meet at the Goat as per usual?

Someone named Rob doesn't have to go to work the next day.

You should ask them to come along.

Just one guy. But he's planning on singing Bee Gees songs.

It's the day before my birfday, and I'm getting a fancy dinner out. So you'll have to have fun without me!

Will burn CDs with all new music from the last one in exchange for a burger and coke. (And before you ask: yes, I am that poor, and yes, I am serious)

If I make it, it probably won't be until Blue Frog because I work Wednesday evenings now.

Hooray! come out Eyeveex! then that'll make me the second jr. member, and I no longer have to buy all the beers. And boy, EamonDaly can drink.

By: MCMikeNamara

MCMikeNamara — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 08:16:25 -0800

Eyeveex, this isn't entirely true. It was only true for garlic. I'm definitely in as I'm living the bachelor life this week with no one patiently waiting for my drunk ass at home, and I'll be on the XBox all night tonight.

SpiffyRob — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 13:30:01 -0800

Guess what, candyasses? The office has changed from "Business Casual" to MOTHERFUCKING CASUAL. That's right! When I show up in jeans tomorrow, it won't be because I changed first. How do you like me now??!?!?! I hope it's a lot.

By: eamondaly

I can't make heads nor tails out of crush's posts in this thread. Is it just me?

By: SpiffyRob

SpiffyRob — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 14:04:10 -0800

Seconded.

By: Evilspork

Clearly it's because she lacks booze, which will be rectified tomorrow.

I'll be there. A bit late though (around September).

MOTION CARRIED. CRUSH NEEDS BOOZE

By: SpiffyRob

SpiffyRob — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 09:15:06 -0800

THEN BOOZE YOU SHALL HAVE. EVEN TINIER THAN THE TINIEST OF BEERS.

By: crush-onastick

excellent, then.

Hey look what cortex just said in another thread: Once upon a time they were "shout outs". But once upon a time people did "shout outs" a lot at meetups too. Both seem to have decayed over the years. We should probably do a king-sized fuckin' shout out tonight. Shall I bring legal paper?

By: SpiffyRob

SpiffyRob — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 10:54:15 -0800

IN B4 ILLEGAL PAPER JOKE

who'll bring the pens?

By: SpiffyRob

SpiffyRob — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 11:23:42 -0800

I can bring felt tips and ball points in black, blue, and red. If anybody wants more exotic colors/delivery mechanisms, someone else will need to step up.

By: eamondaly

eamondaly — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 11:40:56 -0800

Damn it, I forgot to bring the fucking flag AGAIN.

By: misskaz

misskaz — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 12:41:45 -0800

Shout outs decayed because the new photos system means no one outside of meetup attendees (and often even then) sees meetup photos. That said, as you all know, I work 7 floors up from the Goat in an office with normal office supplies for plundering. They smartened up and stopped buying us Sharpies ages ago, though I do have labels that can function as nametags. I have a single black Sharpie in my bag, because one should always have a Sharpie on hand.

ETA? I'm going to head down early.

By: misskaz

misskaz — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 12:55:35 -0800

How early? I can be there pretty much whenever.

By: eamondaly

eamondaly — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 13:07:24 -0800

Well, now I'm drinking a beer. But I'll head down after.

By: bryanthecook

bryanthecook — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 13:13:35 -0800

I'll be down at some point, and always have a few sharpies and pens.

By: SpiffyRob

SpiffyRob — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 13:28:22 -0800

Kaz, do you have big paper? I have some big paper that I was going to bring, but if you can steal it from your office, that would save me the trouble. Fair warning, my paper is VERY BIG (10.5" x 17")

By: eamondaly

eamondaly — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 13:34:31 -0800

HOW SOON IS NOW?

By: misskaz

misskaz — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 13:44:12 -0800

The biggest I can probably get is legal, unless I can steal a flipchart page. I'll see what I can do.

By: misskaz

misskaz — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 13:50:52 -0800

Flipchart paper: acquired.

By: SpiffyRob

SpiffyRob — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 13:59:13 -0800

This just got realer than real.

By: misskaz

misskaz — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 14:08:30 -0800

The flipchart paper also has a strip of post-it stickiness along the top edge. I have two sheets. Woo. And I found Sharpie flipchart markers in my drawer, four colors, though I need to make sure to get them back because they are one of my prized work possessions.

By: crush-onastick

crush-onastick — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 14:20:26 -0800

i can be there by 5.

phunniemee — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 20:32:12 -0800

I'm going to sleep now, but am prepared to be awakened at any time by the deafening sound of all of your panties dropping in unison. Have fun!

Spiffy loosened them up pretty well with Ignition but Eamon sent them crashing to the floor with Hands to Heaven.

Am I supposed to make a pony request? Is that what the note on the back of my list of interns means?

By: eamondaly

eamondaly — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 09:01:13 -0800

I got you covered. I have to say, I'm sad about the panty-dropping. Great song, poor execution. I'll work on it.

By: crush-onastick

crush-onastick — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 09:02:35 -0800

I do not know that song--as near as I can figure, I have never heard that song. I *told* you "over 30" was too broad. You rocked it, sure, you sold it like mad, but it meant nothing to me!

By: eamondaly

eamondaly — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 09:24:12 -0800

I MEANT NOTHING TO YOU?!

By: crush-onastick

crush-onastick — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 09:31:36 -0800

Well, no. Bearded baby, you mean EVERYTHING to me. It's the song--it meant nothing to me. Pesky pronouns.

By: crush-onastick

crush-onastick — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 10:15:26 -0800

Oh hey, Spiffy, what was that bar/gastropub/better than Fountainhead place you were talking about?

By: hydrophonic

hydrophonic — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 10:37:53 -0800

Ooh, I've been out-shouted. Thanks! That sort of makes up for having to miss my goating. Next month's is in the middle of finals week, so I'll be ready to use "party" as a verb.

By: readery

readery — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 11:12:06 -0800

Is the panty-dropping song the afore-mentioned Hands to Heaven? Never heard of it. Could you hum a few bars?

Alright, since you (with your damn talented-ness) have moved me my from my previous stance of karaoke is always awful... Can perhaps we get a playlist, of the karaoke stylins put down on a given goatfrog? Such that there will be no tedious repeats? (i.e. "My Way" ad absurdum) From tenuous memory: little red corvette cecilia ignition pepper ...?

Tedious repeats? Now that I had Mary Mac download the banana song, I was going to sing it every time!
