Hey South Bay folks. Many people have expressed interest in meeting up. Shall we go ahead and have one? What are days that work best for you? Also feel free to suggest a meetup venue if you've got something in mind.

Kapp's pizza in MTV? I'm flexible on dates, but Friday is bad

Upcoming Friday is bad for me too.

Saturday maybe?

I was going to suggest we recreate our field trip to Body Worlds from 2007. I think the current exhibit is going on indefinitely so we could save it for next year.

But I also enjoy pizza.

I'd prefer saving Body Worlds for another time. Beer + food sounds great to me. How's Thursday as another option?

Thursday works for me! Is Mountain View a good place, or do we want somewhere closer to San Jose?

I would love to do this but I will be out of town till the 11th. You kids have fun, don't stay out too late.

Hm. I'm already busy this Fri and earlier is no good for me... maybe the weekend or next week? Nearly any night next week works. Mtn View is fine for me, though anywhere on the Mtn View-North San Jose corridor works.

Yeah, maybe we should move it to next week since we are almost at hump day.
Perhaps next Thursday?

Well, if I am brave enough to show up, pretty much any day works for me.

I don't know if I can make it, but I would highly recommend Trials Pub. Best bar in San Jose, tables in the back, good beer, good food and a cabinet full of board games. Try the curry fries for bonus points.

It also depends on what time people were going, I suppose it can get a little busy in the evenings and getting a table to fit everyone (depending on the number) might take a bit.

I think next thursday is good. Me mum is in town so I'm not 100%, but I'll try my best to make it!

Looks like Thursday works all around. Now to finalize a venue. So far we've got:

Kapp's pizza, MV.
Trials Pub in SJ.

Do people feel strongly about one or the other or have other ideas?

is this next thursday 12/9? i usually take 3 dance classes in a row thursday nights but if i'm not too tired i can try skipping the last of them to drop by and hopefully won't be too disgusting from 3 hours of dancing lol

Sure, let's do Thursday at 6:30 at Kapp's. Sound good?
posted by special-k at 12:59 PM on December 5, 2010


Kapps in MV is on my caltrain commute back to the city so I can make it if that's what you go with.

Sounds fun. Count me in. Santa Clara represent!

If this cold is gone (or at least waning) by Thursday, I'll be there.
posted by dogmom at 5:55 PM on December 5, 2010


I've been meetup-shy the past two times, but since this one is 1 mile away from where I live, I have no excuse. Count me in!

i think i'll skip my first dance class for this since this is earlier than i thought :) this is my first meet up and i'd like to avoid going up to clusters of strangers and asking if they are METAFILTER so will i have any way of identifying people...?

Not to worry. I'll make a sign out of a bar napkin and write Mefi on it. If you suspect someone to be a Mefite, you can always ask if they are friends of Jessamyn or Mathowie (much less awkward than asking if someone is from the internet).

If there's any place in the world where it isn't awkward to ask people if they're from the Internet, it's Mountain View. At least half the people I know in Mountain View are from the Internet, in some manner of speaking.

I would love to come tonight, but I have a month-old baby who demands my presence for feeding purposes. I will, however, raise a glass of wine to you all while nursing tonight (now that I can drink again) and hope to make it to the next one.

Drat, this got double-booked with my kid's band concert. :(

Next time!

Oh curses! I was so looking forward to making this but I've got to be back up in SF by 7:30. Hope everyone has a great time.

Yay! I'm coming! also, the Korean BBQ taco truck is going to be down the block from kapp's from 6:30-9. Much deliciousness.
posted by potch at 3:30 PM on December 9, 2010


graghhh i need to crunch at work tonight so right now i'm about 85% sure i won't be able to make it :(!! in the 15% chance that i can get outta here in time, see you all tonight- if not, see you next time!

I have a horrible hacking cough, and it just seems like a bad idea for my first meetup to make everyone sick.

I'll save that for my second or third one.
posted by dogmom at 4:23 PM on December 9, 2010


Well, I'm not double-booked, don't have to be in SF by 7:30, don't need to crunch at work, and not coughing, so I guess I have no reason not to go. See y'all there!

I am scheduled for a much-needed massage, but if you guys don't mind me being late and oily, I'll be there after 8. Please update the thread if you leave Kapp's!
posted by sarahnade at 6:09 PM on December 9, 2010


We're up in the back corner of the restaurant.
posted by MillMan at 6:39 PM on December 9, 2010


we're going to the taco truck now! Sarahnade just showed up.
posted by zsazsa at 8:17 PM on December 9, 2010


Excellent meetup. Most excellent kalbi tacos.

You are all invited to my next birthday party (rain or shine). And (goes without saying) it will be a princess party.
posted by special-k at 11:08 PM on December 9, 2010


instead of kalbi tacos i had cereal at the office sob hope to see you all next time!
