Tue July 22 at 7:00 PM, Polite Provisions
4696 30th Street, San Diego, CA, USA (Map & Directions)
Big gorgeous city, lots of mefites, and yet we almost never manage to have a successful meetup. Let's make it happen this month!
~* UPDATE: we have a couple folks who aren't available til 9:30/10. shall we bump it to 8pm to make their meeting us more likely, or keep the meetup at 7pm? I am open to either! *~
Tuesday, July 22nd seems like a date at least five of us are available (we can also bump it to July 23rd if that works better for someone). I opted for the delightfully speakeasy-like Polite Provisions, located at the intersection of Adams and 30th in Normal Heights. If you're hungry, you can order next door at Soda & Swine (yum) and they'll bring over the food. Hooray!

Yes please! I live in one of the Heights neighborhoods too.

hooray! so what times/dates work for everyone? weekday evenings are usually best for me.
as for where, if we wanted to grab a drink, Polite Provisions is central on 30th & Adams and has really fun cocktails. you can order from Soda & Swine next door & eat at PP if anybody wants food.
but I am totally flexible if anybody has another rec. so many options!

Maybe the best way to pick a time is to use http://doodle.com/ and pick a bunch of dates that are good for you and then we can all vote.

Mission Valley. Never been to a MeFi meetup before. There was talk of a one around Comic-Con in 2012 that came to nil. July is busy for me but I'll be watching for this! :-)

I was hoping this would be something I could attend, but with my birthday the next day and moving out of town the following week, things are going to be way too hairy for me to do it, and I couldn't pin my schedule down at all to contribute to deciding on a time or date to avoid all that. Too bad, because I work right down the street and could have easily dropped by after work under normal conditions. Have fun! Finally a SD meetup with more than 4 people! (pending)

I can swing by around nine-thirty, it looks like, and see if anyone's still there. Or any punch.

ugh, sorry, something came up and I won't be able to come unless you're still there by ten or so. I can stop by and see...
But let's do it again soon!

should we bump it a little later to make it more likely? I'll edit the main post so it notifies attendees...

Things are looking unlikely for me; our dog just had surgery and someone needs to stay home with him.

Well, we'll be there tonight at 7:30 with bells on and we plan to stay at least until 10, so latecomers don't renege!

Hmm, good question. We look like this. I'm quite tall and I'm wearing a black shirt today. (I considered wearing my MetaFilter shirt but thought it might make me "that guy.")
Soon!

Ok well...I am really bad at recognizing people and I didn't want to go up to some random strangers and be like, "are you from the internet?" I looked around but couldn't tell who you all were, sorry! I'll meet up with you next time I promise.
