Thu July 7 at 8:00 PM, Zig Zag
32 Rue des Carmes, 75005 Paris, France (Map & Directions)
Who wants to drink overpriced pints in Paris?!
Come join us for some drinks at the Zig Zag in the Latin Quarter. 4 euro pints from 5 to 9...
I'm not able to join until 8 PM or so but I see no reason why those interested can't start earlier. :)

Would Thursday work for you guys? Sunday I have plans with my uncle who is in town for an international cartography conference. Let me know...and any preferred spots?

Thursday is fine for me too. I don't have any preferred spots, although, for really overpriced beer, one could always try the Pub Saint Germain. Otherwise, I found the Zig Zag nicer and cheaper.

Okay. The cheaper the better! I have a graduate conference at 6:30 that should only go for an hour, though I'll be leaving the 16th...so I could probably arrive around 8 or so. Would that work? How will we know each other?
ersatz, is the Zig Zag cool with you? I don't have much of a preference.

Oh, and I'm sure this doesn't need to be said, but do feel free to bring guests!

Zig Zag and 8 pm should be fine. As we lack a secret MeFi-handshake, we'll have to think of something else. I don't mind memailing my phone number.

I don't have a Parisian mobile! I'll undoubtedly be wearing birkenstocks, carrying a black leather purse and a canvas tote bag with school things in it...otherwise perhaps we need something more easily recognizable? A book, a sweet table sign...

I made an impromptu Metafilter sign because my brown jacket (unless it's too hot) and Beatles haircut might not be that recognisable. À demain.

Ughhh it looks like the conference is at least two hours. I'm going to do my best to make it but no promises. :|

Maybe funny hats would have been a good idea. Is anyone here?!

I didn't end up making it, as I couldn't do 9 p.m. and when I checked the site nonmerci was the only one listed as attending. Sorry, Skeptic.
