Yet Another Mission Meetup
posted August 9, 2012 7:14 PM RSS | iCal | +googleCal
Sat August 18 at 7:00 PM, Mission Bar
2695 Mission St, San Francisco, CA, USA (Map & Directions)
I'm doing a "Goodbye To All of That", so let's hang out in the Mission because I'm leaving for the East Coast.
I've skipped the last couple of meetups because of schedule conflicts, but I can't make an excuse if it's one I organize. Plus, the Mission Bar gives us access to all sorts of wonderful foodstuffs.
Insert my usual blather about "maybe I have to work, but otherwise I'll be there" here.

Read in Rich Fulcher's voice, "Mee. Likee. YOOOO!"
(i.e., sounds fun. See you there)

Hello, I've only lurked on MF so far, but I registered on MF just to post that I'm coming to this since it's like a block away from where I live. See everyone there!

Unfortunately, we have a wedding to attend and won't be able to make it.

PS At the bar, how will I distinguish MeFites from the unwashed masses? Is someone going to be wearing / doing something distinctive, for instance?
PPS Is there a way in MF to get notified when someone posts on a thread on which you have posted?

Excellent question. Look for the people that look like they're from the Internet. If you're running late, we're probably the largest group.
Alternatively, you could bring some noisy pink bubbles.

You can go up to people and ask if they're from the internet, or if they're friends of Matt's. I've done this; both work. You can also click the SanFrancisco tag and poke around in other meetup threads to see if anyone's posted pictures.
And to see what's happened in threads you've posted in, go to the top of the page and click "recent activity" - this only works if you're logged in, of course, but why would you ever log out? It's cold and scary out there!

But the best thing about being on street level, is that I can complain about having weak leg muscles.
You can spot me by my cloud of gloom and hipster wear.

rtha and I actually have tickets to a show that evening, but maybe we'll show up after, if you all are still drinking.

If I'm there I'm the gal with the floppy (currently red) mohawk. If I'm not there, well, I still have the mohawk, but knowing that won't help you find the mefites.

I may show up with an ulterior motive: I'd love to bestow some fresh rosemary sprigs on y'all. My formerly-well-mannered rosemary plant bush tree has decided to take over the front planter box and it's already trailing on the sidewalk. TODAY THE PLANTER BOX, TOMORROW THE WORLD MWAHAHA! Anyway, if anybody wants a bunch of rosemary, just let me know how many board-feet you can use.

Literal, actual board feet of rosemary would be awesome. I wonder if it ever actually gets big enough to make usable lumber? Sadly, you can't foist any off on me--I steal it from in front of the house down the block.

When you're ready to forgo your life of crime I'm here for you, molly. Bring a chainsaw.

Not until tomorrow, aubilenon. Though you did freak me out for a second, thinking I missed it.

Oh jeez! that explains why there's not a ton of chatter here. I guess I won't head over right now!

Ugh. Just came home sick from work. Lunch and I are not in agreement. Boo. Looks like I might be missing this one.
If you're aching for my company, and also really wanna see some opera, we're doing the Stern Grove free concert tomorrow. Free opera, outdoors. It'll likely be freezing, but the music will be really nice. I will actually be backstage for the most part, but would love to pop out and say hi to anyone who happens to be there.

Things conspired to make me early, so I'll be there as soon as I get my burritoey goodness.

I'm leaving the house shortly (with my museum piece of a dumbphone, so no further updates from me). If I'm the first one there I'll try to stake out a table. I'll be wearing a blue T-shirt and holding a big bag of rosemary - just follow your nose.

We're fighting over the third booth from the entrance. I somehow ended up in Giants colors today.

We've taken over the first booth on the right! We own this bar!
