So I'm almost done with my big tour of the U.S., and for my last stop before I go back to Virginia I'll be stopping off in Indiana. I'll be in Bloomington May 12-14 visiting friends there. If Hatrackers would like to get together while I'm there, I'm guessing that dinner on either Friday the 13th (hmm) or Saturday the 14th would work best for me -- whatcha think?

Aagh! Crap! I'm going to be out of town that weekend
Granted, it's my sister's college graduation and engagement party, so I really shouldn't be complaining, but darnit, I wanted to see you again and introduce you to my spice. Yar...
If there's any way you could do something Thursday night, even just a quick meeting for coffee, that would be awesome. Alternatively, perhaps we could delay our Friday afternoon departure by a couple of hours and meet up with you then.

Stray -- dang! Well, I'll check with my friends and find out where they're at, I think they're more on the edge of town and so it may not be too convenient for them to ferry me about, but I'll find out and let ya know...

I was there for a really short time, I hardly told anyone I was coming, for that reason. I didn't even get to see many of the people who are my friends IRL, let alone try and arrange meetings with people I've never met.
But still, this will be the second Bloomington gathering that I can't come to! And I live there! Posts: 7877 | Registered: Feb 2003

True...there are enough jatraqueros in Bloomington, though, that a get-together is completely possible at almost any time. Next time you're in town for an interval of time you deem long enough, let us all know in advance, and we'll have a Raia-con. Posts: 4077 | Registered: Jun 2003

Tentatively, I arrive the 4th... but I'll be there for a good two months or so! Maybe a bit less, but a while. Posts: 7877 | Registered: Feb 2003

Ooh - this is tempting. Plaid is on my list of "hatrackers I definately want to meet" and Bloomington isn't that far away. *thinks* I'll have to check my schedule and watch this thread.

Count me in, maybe meeting another Hatracker will cheer me up... Hmm and I for one think Space Opera should come, I've been wanting to meet her, so everyone harass her into meeting Plaid and me. If we're doing a dinner thing though, I'd prefer a rather early one on friday. That would accommodate Stray and me, I've got a show at 7 and I can't afford to be late (pesky $292.80 speeding ticket). So a late afternoon lunch would probably be a more accurate description of it for most people (like 4 o'clock). But if that's too early, then o-well, I'm sure I could set up something else if need be.

Jeebus Tyler, how fast were you going? Especially considering they just raised the speed limit to 65.

Yay! Lots of folks to meet! And I'm on Space Opera's list of Hatrackers to meet -- cool!
Brian -- I'm living in Charlottesville right now, eventually I'll be living at Twin Oaks Community in Louisa once my health's better.

I'm not going to be able to do anything on the 10th. If that's the best day for everyone else, that's fine, please don't worry about me.

plaid, Bloomington's not that big. Unless your friends are way the heck out in the middle of nowhere, I can probably pick you up and drop you off. But only on Thursday night; we're leaving Friday midafternoon (probably) and won't be back till Sunday. If you'd like to do something Thursday or around lunchtime on Friday, my email's in my Hatrack profile. I hope I get a chance to see you, even if I can't hang out with all the other Hatrackers.

Stray -- I checked with my friends, they haven't moved yet to their farmhouse on the edge of town, and are still living in town (near the hospital, they say), so yeah, it'll probably work for me to do Thursday dinner or Friday lunch with you and the spice.
Other folks -- so what day/time for getting together?
posted
Since this is between spring and summer II semester, I have more free time than normal. Any time on Thursday, any time on Friday that's not noon-4 PM, and any time on Saturday.
Name the time and the place, and I'll be there. Posts: 4077 | Registered: Jun 2003

I could make a Saturday get together, but there's no way I could manage something for Friday--too long a drive.

I have to say that sometime on Saturday would probably work better for me too. However, I will try my hardest to make something work if Friday is decided upon.
However, will someone please decide so that I can make plans?

*pouts* Darnit, I'm going to miss seeing Space Opera and Noemon. Ah well, maybe I'll get to see a few others before I have to run off for the weekend.

It seems like it should definitely be Saturday, since more people can come then, and nobody can't be there Saturday. So, now all we have to do is pick a time and a meeting place.

no I can't really do thursday, I think friday and saturday would be my best bets, but I won't know a thing till thursday, so just tell me know what it is then (untill then I'm non existant)

I don't know who's in charge here, but I'm begging you to make a decision. I've got other things that I need to do this weekend, and if I don't know when the get-together is happening soon then it will have to become the last priority. Unfortunately, we're trying to do some construction on our house, plus go car shopping, and I've got to start telling Mr. Opera when I'm available for those things.
hey y'all -- I've been slowed down leaving Missouri by the stupid stupid bus company, but I should still be get to Indiana tomorrow in time for a Friday or Saturday get-together...
I've only got a bit of Hatrack time now, so I'm not a good person to organize anything -- if all goes well with the stupid stupid bus company then I should get a chance to check Hatrack again tonight... then I can check it more frequently once I get in to Indiana Thurs. afternoon...
I've emailed my friends' # in Indiana to Stray, so she's got that in case y'all want to call me there. (Um, if you call my friends' #, asking for "plaid" will probably confuse them, asking for "Ken" should work though )

Stray's going out of town early on Friday, so it looks like we'll be doing an early lunch on Friday that's separate from a larger Hatrack get-together.
Space Opera -- if you and Noemon are coming the furthest, would you want to pick Saturday??

I'm not actually all that far (90 minutes or so) it's just that I've got lots going on right now.
Saturday would work great for me. To be honest I would prefer something during the day as I get more tired as the evening wears on, but if evening works better for everyone I can still do it. Just tell me a time and I'll be there. Oh, and I'll need to have the name/address of wherever everyone is meeting up so I can mapquest it.

*still refuses to decide if she's coming yet, right now I could use a week of sleep*
*still is breyerchic but can't find real password, so this one might be around a while*
I would be more likely to come if it were at a non food place, maybe the shelter house at Bryan Park, poolside, between the pool and tennis courts, but whatever.

Alright, let's say, if the consensus is lunch, then let's meet at the Encore Cafe at, say, noon.
If the consensus is not lunch, then let's say 2 PM, Bryant Park, in that shelter that breyerchic mentioned.

I can't make it at noon. I have a lesson from 10-1 in Indy. I would love to join people in the afternoon though.
