Sat January 28 at 2:00 PM, Two Fools Tavern
3211 Central Ave NE, Albuquerque, NM, USA (Map & Directions)
Yeah. I can't believe it either. But then, here we are. Wanna think? Shall we drink?
Yeah. So. This year, AMIRITE?!?
Saturday, January 21st. Say, 2PM?
You may drink what you want. Chances are, I'll be with coffee in hand. Let's meet, greet, and commiserate on just what the Hell we're supposed to do now.
One Fool? Two Fools? Take your pick.
Cause I've already disowned my family.
Seriously, Two Fools on Central is a great, friendly place with good coffee for those who have run dry, like me.

annsunny, do you have a favored venue? Would Two Fools be agreeable?

There is a protest in Albuquerque on the 21st. I think it's from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. I hope o be meeting up with Old Lesbians Organizing for Change. There is also a protest in Albuquerque on Jan. 20. Could we do this Jan. 22, or the next week?

Maureen, Thanks for that info about other actions that weekend. The 22nd would be totally cool.

Would love to meetup but I am going to the march in DC. Maybe the following weekend?

I'm open about the time and venue. Sorry, I have been very distracted the past few days. The 22nd is fine with me, and have never been to Two Fools. I love trying new places.

I'm up for something. I'm sorry I haven't followed through with prior meetup initiations.

Nikitabot, you bring up a very valid point. To accommodate those who are participating in demonstrations, I think that the following weekend would be best. How does the 28th or the 29th sound to everyone?

If it's at 2 pm, either the 28th or 29th, with a slight preference for the 29th.
BTW, the 28th is Lunar New Year (aka Chinese New Year).
Two Fools sounds about right -- oh, and the restaurant by that name is great too! And it's nice to support a Central Avenue business in the construction area too.

Maurreen, I'll make the call today for the reservation on Saturday the 28th... just to make sure they EXPECT US.
Hah.

Looks like it's first come, first serve. It could be cool... or it could be a blood bath. I told'em that we might have as many as ten just for good measure.

Thanks for setting everything up, PROD_TPSL.
I'm looking forward to this, my first MeFi meetup.

Yay! This is my first time scheduling one! Does this mean I've matured?!?

If there were MeFi badges, you would have earned the "Scheduled a Meetup" badge, which I will now mentally subtitle "It could be cool... or it could be a blood bath." :)

We're officially in! Is it a kid-friendly place? We have two boys, a five year old and a 2 year old. If it is kid-friendly, we may be a posse of 4 adults + 2 kids (my parents-in-law, my wife, myself, and our two junior associates). If not, it'll just be me and my wife, and we'll bring my PIL some food and beer as thanks for boy-sitting.
I'll mass-MeMail folks tonight, to get the word out to other MeFites. Thanks for putting this together, PROD_TPSL!

Thanks :)
A handful of MeMails sent out just now, we'll see if anyone checks in between now and then. (I forgot how many "ghost" MeFites there are around here - some folks haven't been active in over a decade, if they ever were.)

I tried, once. They didn't reply. Now I leave them to their solitude.

I'll be there... well... because I set this whole shindig in motion. Look for a tall man in a black leather jacket, blonde hair, and a big nose.

We are en route, just the two of us - I'm tall in glasses and a faux fur hoodie and ... Arms? It makes sense when you see it. My wife is has long dark brown hair and a grey jacket.
