Ask MeCha: Event planning for MetaChatters [More:]Any suggestions for long-term event planning (in this case, 3+ weeks) strategy for MetaChatters? Things fall off the front page here quickly and I don't think it's preferable or effective to repost on a repeated/daily basis.

I'll likely host on Christmas Eve/Christmas and would love to hear from those here in MetaChat that'd be sincerely interested in attending, but I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to go about getting and keeping the word out.
maybe dodgy or taz might put it in the orange circle if you ask nicely?

Oh man, sweetie, I'd give anything to be able to make it!

Just think of me when you're under the mistletoe.

I promise to have a super special "Speckle'bee" mistletoe minute in your honor.

It'd be cool if instead of kissing, being under mistletoe meant you had to masturbate, and if there were two people under it, the masturbation would have to be mutual.

Until grandma arrived for the week, that is.

Then it would be out of this world cool!

I love you, Fris. Speckle'bee mistletoe minute, awesome.

Sorry to ruin your mistletoe moment with my vulgarity, guys. I hope it'll pass. Meanwhile I hope youse have fantastic holidays.
posted by Hugh Janus 01 December | 16:50
In my book, if mistletoe-type kissing doesn't qualify as some sort of mutual masturbation, you're not doing it right.

Hugh, I hope your grandma is hot 'cause that's a long time to spend in basic masturbation with one person. If not, sucks to be you, dude.

On preview: Speck, never doubt that you have my affection.

Hugh, you're ruining my amusement at your vulgarity with your apologies.

I'm apologizing just so I can do it more with impunity, and I'm waiting to get called out for this transparent tactic.

I no longer have grandmothers, but when I did they were two of the most beautiful women in the world.

And while I agree, Frisbee Girl, that all kisses should wet her panties and stretch his fly, I'm talking about hardcore splashy hand jive, drop-to-the-floor, sweaters-off, hands-all-over, watch-the-zipper jacking off.

God rest ye merry!

*yawn* Hugh, sounds like you need some special attention. You're best seeking it out in a different thread, I think.

Though I contributed to the current derailing of this post, it would be great to find some sort of solution to the question I posed. If a reasonable discussion can't be regained, anyone who is interested in hanging at Chez Fris with some non-Mecha people over the Christmas holiday, please drop me an email and we'll figure things out separately.

Thanks!

The yellow circle should be available. To be honest though folk round here seem to ignore it for some reason.

Alternatively I could change the posting date whenever you want me to so it rises to the top of the pile. I'll admit to being a bit flakey lately (dandruff? what dandruff?) but I'll try my best.

BTW, I'm making an exception here - we're talking about christmas!

I agree with the yellow circle observation, dodgy, which is why I put it out there. I was hoping for a more long term type of solutions as it seems that we're not going to stop gathering and there's a reasonable slice that don't regularly follow MeFi enough to make posting something in MeTa a consistently workable alternative.

Changing the posting date would work for short term, but then people just sort of skip over it, I fear. All in all, it's not that big a deal, but I wondered if collecting the brainpowers here wouldn't produce an elegant solution, perhaps one that didn't involve extra work on your part, but we shall see, no?

A sidebar, like mefi's, except more easily updated?
posted by kenko 02 December | 00:19
I guess that would be the same as the yellow dot, except bigger.
