Never mind! I got a new job and can't take the time off in the middle of the week. I will be down there on a weekend soon, I'm sure.

It's pretty hard to miss us. We're almost always at a long set of tables just to the left as you enter the Goat. Several of us have pictures in our MetaFilter profiles, so feel free to use those as guides.

I propose that eamondaly wear a humorous, easily identified hat to help new attendees to find the group.

Are we wearing hats? I think I'm going to wear a hat. Ridiculous? Weird? Glamorous? So many choices, so little time. So few heads to put hats upon.
Also, I'm taking Thursday off.

So two things:
1) I'm taking Thursday off too.
2) Last month I wanted to buy a stocking hat from the Billy Goat, but I didn't because of reasons related to a guy wearing a gross t-shirt. All this talk of hats means I will probably buy one and will wear it.

I really want to make this one, but I don't know if I can. If I do, it'll probably be late.

I don't want to scare anybody who would be coming to this because you definitely should, but there is an alarming time/space warping thing happening downtown because this has been THE LONGEST DAY EVER.

That would not explain why I only have the next hour and a half to complete three hours' worth of work.

Hey folks, I'm feeling sick so I won't be able to make it tonight. Sorry. I look forward to seeing pictures of your party hats!

Iridic obviously it is because the area where you are is losing time to MCMike's area.

Just got on the train. Hit me up if it looks like you'll head to the Frog before 8.

It should be way more awful in here than it is. But, you know, I wanna dance with somebody.

it was shitshow-y for a bit, but a lot of women, which is better than with a lot of douchey dudes.

That's true. Light Grey Dress Lady was a bit much.
