If someone plans it, I'm totally in.
If I can remember to check IRL, that is...

It sounds awesome to me. I am away until February 1 though, any chance it could be a February thing?

Would love to attend but am out of state for the first half of February. If after that, I'd be in. Also, happy to help plan if you need the help.

I would love to be involved in this. I would have totally missed it but for cabingirl's MeMail, tho, so maybe we should send more of those out to make sure people see it.

For those who like beer, I've started another meetup thread here. Not to steal wheelieman's thunder or anything. I think we, as a people, can handle two meetups in one month!

Very much interested, but it will all come down to the specifics...

I actually had a dream last night about attending a MetaFilter meetup, so I figured I'd come back and ask - is an end-of-February thing still on?

Nickmark, I think it still is on. Lets hash this out over the next day or two, and see what we can accomplish.

Huzzah! I'd prefer not the 21st, 22nd, or 24th, but I think I'm pretty available other evenings, with a bit of notice.

How about the last week in Feb? Any days work or not work for anyone?

Week of the 21st? I'm out of town all week..back on the 25th.
Week of the 28th I'm golden.

I will request not on the actual 28th or 29th. But the rest of the week should be pretty good for me.

The latter part of that week should work on my end, provided (as I've assumed) we're talking an evening thing.

I will attempt to rally the troops again to check in on the thread. (It may be verging on spam at this point.)

Consider the troops rallied, Cabingirl!
Also, I'm quitting my job. My last day is the 1st. A meetup seems like a awesome to start putting the "fun" in "funemployment." Thus, I'll put my weight behind norm and nickmark's suggestion of later that week.
This* is going to be great!
*Wait, do we know what this is, yet, or are we figuring out the date first and going from there?

I would be into this. Monday and Thursday nights are the best for me, weekends are a guaranteed no-go (usually.)

Sounds super-fun! The actual 28th doesn't work for me, but I can do any other time that week.

Okay, here's a poll where you can indicate what days work for you. I only included March 2 (Wednesday) through March 6 (Sunday) since we seem to have consensus on "the latter part of the week of the 28th."
Go fill out the poll.

posted by SemiSophos at 12:45 PM on February 15, 2011
Given the poll results, I'm going to go ahead and call this race for Wednesday, March 2nd. Sunday is the only thing that's really close, but Wheelieman, proposer of this here meetup, can't make it on Sunday. And I'd feel terrible if we were all like "Yeah, wheelieman, a meetup is a great idea. But we're having it when you can't come."
So, by the power invested in me by guilt tripping anyone who wants to hold the meetup on a day that the meetup initiator can't make, I hereby decree that Wednesday, March 2nd is the date of the most glorious and appropriate date for our meetup.
Poll closed.
Let's start the planning!

I've never been to the Kitty Cat Klub. This meetup could fix that.

Kitty Kat Klub sounds good. I can probably be there around 8; gotta get the kid to bed before heading out.
