Meet-up in Mobtown

Sat September 22 at 6:00 PM, Liam Flynn's
22 W North Ave, Baltimore, MD, USA (Map & Directions)
It's been almost a year since the last meet-up in Baltimore. Let's do it again.
Last November, Sonascope led a brave group of MeFites to the top of Baltimore's Bromo Seltzer Tower. It was a beautiful evening, but I'm not aiming for anything as ambitious as that. Beers at Liam Flynn's on Saturday, September 22, at 6.
I can dig it.

I have a pretty tight schedule the next few weeks, but I'm interested in attending my first ever meetup! Btw, I'll already be at Windup this Wednesday for a High Zero event if any other Mefites are thinking of coming to that.

I'd probably be down for something.

The Windup would probably work for me.

Okay, so it looks like The Windup is the place. So, what days work best? Weeknight or weekend?
I'm leaning towards Thursday at, say, 6 or 7?

I could do Thursdays, but would probably be arriving late.

You guys have a knack for picking the day I have to work late. I nominate any day but Thursday.

I just moved to Baltimore and would love to join a Metafilter meet up. As I am new here and have no friends yet, I am free anytime. :)

Baltimore is notoriously bad for meetups so I'm thrilled there will be one. I'm down with the Windup and the good part is that the other suggestion, Liam Flynn's, is just a few doors down.
Since Thursdays seem to be an issue, what about Wednesday?

Wednesday is good.

I can only do weekends, I'm afraid.

I'm definitely out for Wednesday.

Okay, Liam Flynn's has a happy hour on Saturdays from 4 - 8. I think it'd be better to meet there. That way we don't have to worry about conflicting with some performance or other at The Windup. Also, it sounds like more people are free on the weekend. So, let's say Saturday at 6 at Liam Flynn's?

I'm also definitely out for the 22nd, since I'm going to a friend's wedding on that day.

So, should this be moved to "upcoming" rather than "proposed"?

We (pineapplecarver and I) could possibly join in for this Saturday, I'm on call so if I don't get called in, i'm in if it's a go.

Damn, I'm going to be in town from the Sept 24th-28th.

Argh. On my way out of town for the weekend. Could make any other evening, really if it runs past 9.

I have a 5:30 call for a show I'm in 9/22, and it looks like I'll be out of town 9/29. So my next two Saturdays are out. Actually my next three. Crap. Most of October looks much better for me, though, in case it doesn't happen 9/2.

Looks like there's a bunch of Mefites who can probably make it to a cocktail hour in 2-3 weeks. Couldn't we make this a monthly thing, some sort of Monthly Mobtown MeFi Meetup? Are we not better than MeFi Portland?

Nomyte, I think that's a great idea. As for folks who are showing up on Saturday, I'll grab a table and put a sign that says "MeFi" on it.

There ended up being five of us there. We relaxed and talked about the topical issues of the day for a couple hours.

I wouldn't mind doing something one of the weekends in October.

I'm good with that. Maybe a weekday this time, for those who don't do weekends well?

Feel free to suggest something. I'm driving in from DC and I occasionally work weird hours, so my availability is going to be pretty erratic.

Perhaps the next boardgame night at the Windup Space?

I don't know when those are, but I'm definitely game if I can make it. Sounds like fun.

I can probably make Tuesday 10/30, as long as it's 7 o'clock or later. Shall we put up a "proposed" announcement?

Works for me (I think. Most likely.)
