Abu Dhabi Redux
posted October 21, 2010 12:27 PM   RSS

I arrived in Abu Dhabi a few days ago and would like to have a second meetup. I'm certainly free Saturday 10/23 evening. Anybody willing to meetup? I don't know much about the city so I'lll let somebody more familiar suggest a place and time.

I'm up for it, sure. Bardophile knows AD better than me, so I'll defer to her on venue.

We will, of course, want photos.

Pakistanis are genetically programmed to organize any social gathering around food. Does anyone else have another option in mind? If so, what kind of activity? If not, what kind of food would you prefer?

Food sounds good to me. Maybe Lebanese Flower or some other Arabic food?
posted by atrazine at 2:49 AM on October 22, 2010


Food is fine, I'll be available from about 4pm tomorrow.

atrazine, if you can make it out early-ish, could we meet at the 11th St Lebanese Flower at around 6?
posted by bardophile at 8:55 AM on October 22, 2010


Sure. That's the one near Al Wahda Mall, right?
posted by atrazine at 9:02 AM on October 22, 2010


Yes, that's the one.

Confess, Fletch, any taxi driver should know it. Tell them Lebanese Flower near Wahda Mall, on Defence Road.

ok, see you then
I'll be wearing a green shirt and jeans

Ok, yes, we forgot to do this in advance last time. I'll be wearing jeans and a yellow embroidered shirt.

Ok, cool. My mobile # is in my profile, in case we can't find each other. See you guys there!

Guys, I'm sorry, I need to beg off. Family stuff has come up. Enjoy yourselves, and do take some pictures. :)

I may not be able to make it. I have an unexpected work-related flight tonight, I'm trying to see if I can fly from AD airport rather than Dubai though - If I can, then I can still come.

Sorry. I can't make it. I wouldn't be able to get back in time for my flight.

bummer
well, that it, just me. I'm moving the venue to my hotel room :)
perhaps next time, I may be back in town in early december.

Yeah, sorry about that. Hopefully we can try again in December.
posted by atrazine at 1:39 AM on October 24, 2010


OK, my second trip to (hopefully finish up) is all scheduled. I arrive on Saturday the 11 at nearly midnight and leave very early morning on the 18th. I'm up for any evening except sunday the 12th.

Can we try again for a meetup? I'm open to pretty much anything.
posted by Confess, Fletch at 9:59 PM on December 7, 2010


Any day in that range should be good for me.
posted by atrazine at 10:57 PM on December 7, 2010


Will try to figure out our schedule over the next day or so and set something up.
posted by bardophile at 4:09 AM on December 8, 2010


Ok, I'm in town and feeling not too jet lagged. Nobody has mentioned any plans for dragging me off to events. So, I'm up for anything.
posted by Confess, Fletch at 6:31 AM on December 12, 2010


Friday evening? The 17th? And shall we try Lebanese Flower again since we didn't manage last time?
posted by bardophile at 6:39 AM on December 14, 2010


That works for me, not too late though. My flight leaves very esrly saturday morning.
posted by Confess, Fletch at 7:02 PM on December 14, 2010


Sorry to back out again guys, but I can't make it due to work things.
posted by atrazine at 7:23 AM on December 16, 2010


So then it's just Confess, Fletch and myself? How does coffee sound, around 5ish? That way you can make an early night of it? Or dinner is still fine with me.
posted by bardophile at 12:46 AM on December 17, 2010


Sorry, I guess I can't make that either....too much mildly dysfunctional machinery. I'll be back in town in early February for the Grand Opening of the new facility. Bummer...
posted by Confess, Fletch at 5:22 AM on December 17, 2010


We'll start another thread for that one. This one seems jinxed. :)

Sorry you can't make it. We'll try again in Feb.
