Moving to SF meetup

Sat June 11 at 6:00 PM, The Sycamore
2140 Mission St, San Francisco, CA, USA (Map & Directions)
Hello! Having recently moved to San Francisco (with some help from MeFi), I thought it would be fun to meet fellow MeFites in the area and other transplants to this lovely city. Some of you might remember me from the 10th Anniversary meetup. Some of you might not but don't sweat it— I'll be the one in the blue MetaFilter shirt. My schedule is pretty flexible but here are some random dates: Wednesday, June 8th or Saturday, June 11th? Also, bonus points for someplace in the mission and close to food. Update: We'll be at The Sycamore on Mission between 17th and 18th on June 11th at 6pm.

Well there is this place called Frjtz. It's right in the Mission and has yummy fries. Maybe that would be a good place for a meetup sometime...? ;-)

zach, you're evil. Although, we actually haven't been to frjtz for a while....although iamkimiam will be back in town for a visit later this month....

I can't on the 8th because I won't be in town, but I think the 11th is good. I'm putting this comment here mostly to remind me that there's a meetup in the works.

A good friend (and mefite) reminded me that this is also my first week or so in the Bay Area, so I'd be interested in showing up if it was the 11th. Can't make the 8th.

How about The Sycamore? Their indoor seating is somewhat limited but if the weather is ok their backyard is nice. Good food and beer, on Mission between 17th and 18th. Across the street from Noisebridge.

I also can't make the 8th (Janelle Monáe people!) but the 11th would work for me. I haven't been to The Sycamore but it looks good.

I have to go to a graduation on the 11th, but I'm available pretty much any other time. And I love meetups!

Sycamore does have an exceedingly pleasant garden.

I could be interested in this. More on a weekend than a weekday.

We have a birthday party the 11th, but after the next 3 weeks of chaos is over, I am all about meetups.

I'm going to see Tales of the City on the 8th, but I think the 11th would work for me (Hooray for Mission meetups!)

I'm out of town. Have fun!
posted by madcaptenor at 6:08 PM on June 3, 2011


I might be able to make it. We also need more east bay meetups this summer.

The Sycamore is awesome. Last time Fake was here we had a meetup there. It gets really loud past 9 but it would be a perfect spot for a late afternoon meetup. They also have pork belly donuts with maple Maker's glaze. OMG so nom.

Polexa, let us know how Tales of the City is. Can't do the 8th, might be able to do the 11th.

Whee! I love this and I miss Frjtz! BUT...I won't be in town until the 15th (flying in from Boston that day). Can we do a meetup on the 15th, 16th or anytime after the 20th? Pretty please?!

Also, welcome to the bay area yaymukund!

Out of town on the 8th, 11th might work.

And of course I'd totally love to see iamkimiam again! Booked on evenings of the 15 and 16th, though.

We're going to see roller derby at Kezar on the 11th, but could likely swing by after. Also, anyone who wants to go see roller derby with us should buy tickets!

We're totally doing a meetup on the 15th. and it's going to be at the Valencia Frjtz.

Well, then we're going to have to do ANOTHER meetup with iamkimiam at Fritz after the 20th, because rtha and I can't make the 15th or 16th.
posted by gingerbeer at 2:19 PM on June 4, 2011


I'm going to pencil this in for The Sycamore on June 11th at 6pm. We should definitely have another one later this month when iamkimiam is back. (hi, iamkimiam!)
posted by yaymukund at 3:11 PM on June 4, 2011


It's a few hours drive for me and the gas cost puts some hurt on but I'd like to get out of town. Get enough people together and I'd like an excuse to be in SF again :)
posted by Poet_Lariat at 4:18 PM on June 4, 2011


Moar meetups -- We need to have another booze meetup after the fantastic scotch tasting. Rums? I live in the outer boonies and live in a shoebox so hosting is out of the question. I have plenty of rum to contribute.

Fine. Then we will have multiple iamkimiam meetups. :p

iamkimiam week. It's like shark week but with more fries and booze than mayhem.

YES. I am SO signed up for this.
posted by grapesaresour at 6:31 PM on June 4, 2011


If mollymayhem comes, is that mayhem?
posted by madcaptenor at 8:44 PM on June 4, 2011 [1 favorite]


We will, as a group, have more fries and booze than mollymayhem will have. Which makes sense, since she's part of the group. Very simple, really.

Roller Derby is back at kezar? OMG, that's awesomeness times 10!
posted by jasper411 at 5:35 AM on June 5, 2011


Related iamkimiam meetup!
posted by yaymukund at 10:45 AM on June 9, 2011


I am so down with this.

Or up for this.

Or something relative to this along the y-axis.

Also, Yay! Mukund! What's up buddy!

While I always reserve the right to be overcome with lethargy and decide not to leave the house tomorrow, jaybeans and I are thinking we're in.
posted by mostlymartha at 1:25 PM on June 10, 2011


I've got plans tomorrow, but I'll check this thread to see if anyone's still around later in the evening...
posted by danny the boy at 2:22 PM on June 10, 2011


I can't recall if rehearsal tomorrow is at 2 or 6, but if it's at 2, I can totally make the meetup. If it's at 6, well, maybe.
posted by mollymayhem at 12:20 AM on June 11, 2011


OK, heading to bed now. Will set alarm in time to make this meetup.
/grrrr waking up early for meetups

missing this one but I'll be there for iamkimiam week with bells on.

As per usual, we're running 15 minutes late, but the Boy and I are headed that way.
posted by mostlymartha at 6:06 PM on June 11, 2011


We're in the back patio.

The mobile signal is weak.

Please order some maple bacon donut holes. #jealous

Still at roller derby.
posted by gingerbeer at 9:07 PM on June 11, 2011


We miss you guys, but roller derby is pretty fucking great! Speed, violence, skill, beauty - what's not to love?
posted by rtha at 9:10 PM on June 11, 2011


Curse you all! I started work in Silicon Valley this week and forgot entirely to check all the subsites for the next meetup.

I demand a rematch!
posted by casarkos at 11:11 PM on June 11, 2011


rtha - I do not love that my shitty knees and my job mean that I can't play roller derby anymore. (Seriously folks, where do you think the name Molly Mayhem came from?)
posted by mollymayhem at 11:17 PM on June 11, 2011


mm - made some friends in the beer garden during halftime (is that what it's called?) who explained a little bit of rules and things to me, but oh, still so confusing! I'm buying you beer and monopolizing your time at the next meetup we're both at. Or maybe we just go to more roller derby. There's a ...bout? match? game? in Richmond in early July that we're planning on.

Y'all had fun at the meetup?
posted by rtha at 7:22 AM on June 12, 2011


YES!
posted by yaymukund at 10:07 AM on June 12, 2011


They made the best vegan burger of my life, and the maple bacon doughnut holes were devoured in approximately three seconds. I think we also decided on a Harry Potter 7b meetup at the Kabuki.
posted by yaymukund at 10:29 AM on June 12, 2011


Oh man you guys ate the maple bacon awesome without me?
