Back in SF Bay Area, let's meet up!
posted June 6, 2011 2:34 AM RSS | iCal | +googleCal
Wed June 22 at 7:00 PM, Mission Bar (and a walk over to Cancun for burritos at some point)
2695 Mission St, San Francisco, CA, USA (Map & Directions)
Hiya! I'll be back in the SF Bay Area from June 20th to July 2ndish and I'd love to see you all! Somebody suggest place/date/time and I'll update this thing with whatever we land on.
I am partial to things I miss...burritos, chinese food, dive bars, the sun.
Works for me!

So how about Wednesday June 22nd? Mission-style burrito and dive bar? Someplace not too noisy, BART-accessible, etc. The usual criteria.

That would be superb! I'm happy to do the regular spots (was it Mission Bar and a wander over to cancun for burritos?). You pick the time because I'm all turned around with the way UK people eat and drink and can't remember what's normal for SF.

Don't worry kim. Given that bot lives only a few miles away from me I will do my best to kidnap him and bring him to the meetup.
PS: pb, can you hide this comment from iamabot?! Thanks!

I'll be there. You'll either hear me say "hey! my new students are awesome!" or "oh crap, I can't believe I'm stuck with these people for the next eight weeks", we'll see which.

That's true. And my class meets MWF so I don't even have to teach in the morning.

This.
But yeah I'm feeling like this is The One too. Last SF meetup I went to was 2 years ago when I was still a lurker. Will be awesome to see danny the boy there (who I haven't seen in 2 years) and yaymukund (who I haven't seen in 8 hours), and to meet this legendary iamkimiam. See you guys Wednesday!

I got my improv class till 9:30, but I'll drop by Mission Bar afterwards. Don't drink all the beer before I get there -- leave some for me!

I don't think we could possibly drink all the beer in a few hours. We'd need at least a day.

You promised to talk my ear off about roller derby, and I'm going to hold you to that!
A warning to you all: I'm recovering from a cold. I feel way better than I did yesterday (and bourbon, or single malt scotch, which I will be drinking tonight is known to cure colds, right?), but I won't be hugging anyone. Consider yourselves safely and preemptively hugged over the internet.

That's perfect. Can we make out for a little bit so i can catch whatever you had? It'll be helpful since I'll be calling off from work in about 3 minutes...

On Muni now, there shortly. I'm experiencing fashion fail--apparently goth me of 10 years ago picked out my clothes. What the hell, self? I can hear my inner Tim Gunn, "That styling is just too severe. What were you thinking?"
On the plus side, Punch 'Em in the Dick just came across my playlist. A good omen, I think.

while the East Bay contingent was waiting for the last train we drunkenly wondered what bourbon was. We were told by someone else waiting for a train that it is made from corn and in Kentucky.
