Uh oh...Advance Meetup Attendance Warning Well, who'da thunk? I'll be vacationing in New York for a few days in November / December, and it occurs to me "hey, I actually know of some mefi members in New York, I could go to a meetup" (whereas while I realize there are some mefi members here in Tokyo, their names don't stick to their personalities, so if I met up with them it'd feel like meeting strangers). So then I think, "Let's look at some meetup threads and see who's in New York".

Hey, jonmc is in NY!
Hey, amberglow is in NY!
Hey..uh oh...naxosaxur.

Guess I won't be bringing my camera.

bug, you're a chef? (was looking at yr wedding pics)

You should call a Tokyo meetup--there are a bunch of mefites there (and gen is very cool, for one). I'm going to get there one day soon, hopefully--they were having 500rt specials last winter to Tokyo--apparently a lot of airlines have added routes or something so prices have dropped.

(naxo is very cool irl--don't worry about her--all of us NY mefites are, i think, pretty much)

watch out for that smart dalek character tho--he's big trouble! ; >

Don't listen to amberglow. We're all very mean & evil & we pick one newcomer to sacrifice to the bar gods each meetup. Are you soft & tender?

oh, you guys have fun tonight, if you're going--shout out to me.
(i'll be priding from 2 on)

> bug, you're a chef?

Nope. We served the guests a dessert buffet, and dressed the part.

I'll be in NYC next month. Everyone run and hide. : )

In fact, I think I saw you, amberglow, on Friday night (I think it was) around 9:30 on 9th avenue in the upper 40's having a cigarette in front of a bar (which I should know the name of, as it's a couple blocks away from my apartment, but I'm blanking). Was it you? I was the guy who walked by and looked like he thought "Hey, is that amberglow from MeFiMeCha?"

Apologize to Naxos for me for thinking this whole time that her name was "naxosaur".

You weren't the only one.

posted by bugbread 27 June | 16:42

Yeah I didn't want to admit it until I saw a couple other people post here that they thought that.

posted by matildaben 27 June | 20:59

yup--that was me : >

The Bistro--i go there a lot.

Seriously, dame knows what she's talking about. It starts with cupcakes and escalates from there.

Would it be weird to come to a mefi meet up if, like, you haven't been an active member for very long?

posted by invitapriore 27 June | 23:53

Invitapriore: I doubt it. Whenever I look at meetup pictures, there are inevitably people about whom I think, "who the hell is that?". They may be long-time but largely inactive members, but there isn't much difference between a long-time but inactive member and a new member.

posted by bugbread 28 June | 05:56

it's not at all weird, invita.
