Austin meetup: June 21, 8pm. We tried during SXSW, but now it's summer and we've got nothing better to do on a Tuesday night!

It's Pint Night at the Dog and Duck Pub, so that's $2 for most things ($3ish for Guinness). They used to do half priced burgers as well, not sure if that still holds. The important thing is that there will be at least one monkey there, in a monkey shirt.

  • Well, I'd say I'm down, but that would mean nobody else is... so... I definitely won't show up so that others may enjoy the evening together. Kidding. I'll be there. Tuesday's my day off, June is my month for happiness, and beer is my anodyne of choice. Oh, and I'm down with primates of all stripes. Unless of course my presence really will drive every one else away. In which case you'd better just arrange meetups via e-mail. Or perhaps utilising some sort of elaborate code...
  • Oooh, I'm missing Austin right now... especially the Dog and Duck. Drink a few for me, and next time I go back home I'll alert the simians.
  • I'm missing Texas (Houston and Austin) a lot right now. Hoist one for me and mcroft, and when we're by next, we'll come see y'all.
  • whee! that's 2 at least--drivingmenuts indicated he may make it. friends, significant (or otherwise) others are welcome too, of course!
  • It's on the schedule -- I'll be there. I'll bring a SuperSoaker to keep NickDanger under control ... ;P
  • Hey! I'll be good. Good and soaked, that is.
  • Can't promise anything, but I'll try to swing by :)
  • please come by, suphaltus!
  • DAMMIT. I'm in LA, at a meetup.
  • Correction: I'm in Dallas, the day after I get back.
  • to clarify further, if it was anytime between, like, a week later and the end of august, i'd be there in a flash.
  • ($3ish for Guinness) :P
  • we can have another meetup, muffpub--a sendoff before you leave these climes for school! Heck, any monkey swinging through town can flash the Monkey Signal in the skies and call a meetup. I figured it was better to just pick a date and stick with it for the first one, to break the ice and get things rolling.
  • Might I note that the current meetup is scheduled for the summer solstice. Pretty cool, huh?
  • AND i'm gonna miss the summer solstice hotttness. honestly, what are you people trying to do to me. its cool patita... and i will definitely be in austin sometime this summer. have fun you guys!
  • well, I feel like we owe you a monkey toasting, seeing as you came to Austin for the Meetup that Wasn't. I'm surprised that there haven't been any shoutout solicitations yet!
  • *bump* just 6 days away, folks!
  • Still on? Shouldn't we have cancelled by now? I'm confused. My god... could it... ACTUALLY HAPPEN? /freaks out
  • 5 days! and it may well hit 100 F degrees here by then!
  • We expect pictures, many pictures. Don't forget to charge your camera.
  • well, the pub has a free wifi connection. my laptop is too hinky to leave the house these days, but another monkey may have the technology to get you pictures on the spot!
  • Wait... Oh, I get it. I see how it's going to be. You're pretending there's a meetup, but the whole point is really to trick me into getting all excited and going to the bar and randomly walking up to strangers and saying "are you a monkey?" over and over until someone finally punches me in the eye. Very tricky. But I'm on to you. I'll protect my eyes by wearing a football helmet when I go up to strangers and ask if they're monkeys! /always-thinking
  • so I can just look for a guy in a football helmet? that'll make it easy!
  • You could wear your MoFi t-shirt and wander around the bar asking strangers if they'd like to touch your banana....
  • (from Flagpole's site) "Ha ha ha to you, danger!" We'll see who laughs last Mr.Idea-Stealing-Monkey.
  • I'm in for the nose-tweaking of peril! In my monkeyshirt!
  • Two nights away! Just two nights away! Not tonight, not tomorrow night, but the night after that! whee!
  • One night away! Tomorrow night! Beer! and maybe we can even catch the moonrise?
  • Nine hours! It's just nine hours away!!
  • Hey patita! Are you excited about the meetup tonight?
  • I figure a comment is better than just a *bump*... but yeah, excited :)
  • PHOTOS. I DEMAND THEM. NAKED PHOTOS.
  • /polishes-football-helmet
  • /polishes-football-helmet *blinks* *blinks again* Oh. Yes. That helmet.
  • Monkey helmet. I demand a shoutout, if only so I'll say nice things about patita's cd.
  • Any other shoutout requests? *remembers to grab multicolored writing implements and paper*
  • Me! Me! Choose me!
  • I haven't had one for quite some time, I mean it's not a big deal really, not like I think you guys are getting sick of me coming around and are sending me some passive-aggressive signal by cutting off my shoutouts, so if it's too much of a burden, don't worry, I'll be fine, my feelings won't be hurt or anything, I mean there's plenty to drink at home. Alone. While I cry.
  • Doris requested one. And what's-his-name.
  • Cock?
  • Surely fish tick wouldn't have forgotten Cock!
  • Hmmm... maybe afore my time? I was actually thinking of the much more recent fagbrush.
  • No, I was asking if fish tick wanted some cock. Sorry, wrong thread.
  • Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek! *scuttles back under rock*
  • I WANT SHOUTOUT AND COCK!!SIXTYNINE!!11! *thud*
  • ... and I thought Austin was such a civilised place.
  • Me too, please. Er, shoutout, not cock. Well, not like I don't want... *ehem*.... well, you know... nevermind.
  • On my way out the door right now, as a matter of fact. /I-go
  • DON'T FORGET THE COCK
  • THIS THREAD NEEDS MORE COCK, DAMMIT. AND MORE COWBELL.
  • OR COCK WITH COWBELLS
  • Two monkeys does indeed a monkey meetup make! Shoutouts, as promised. But no cowbell.
  • Nickdanger has the rest of the pix. He's also got an awesome scooter!
  • Holy crap, those are some beautiful shoutouts, you magnificant Texan monkeys.
  • Very nice.
  • I'll post mine soon. Right now, too drunk. Drivingmenuts sucks, however, due to not-showing-up-ness. /contemplates-drunken-posting-of-metafilter-bashing-thread
  • Magnificent shoutouts, folks - truly excellent.
  • That's one small, but happy-looking bunch of monkeys and trainees. Cheers! And ha, loved that shoutout! The flag's position is mischievously *perfect*... hope that doesn't get me in trouble with any USA monkeys... :)
  • Thanks for the shoutout! Wheeeee!
  • pretty pictures, Koko like
  • More shoutout thanks! Yah boo sucks, tool!
  • I'm a wrench! With a tie! And some cock! *takes victory lap around thread* Thanks!
  • The monkeys in training raised the bar on the quality of the shoutouts, I must say! Austin needs more monkeys!
  • Any place containing Nickdanger and patita is bound to be entertaining. /Viva Tejanos!
  • Aw, thanks, beeswacky! And to think we were too drunk to make a proper shoutout for you. Top of the list for next time! Speaking of which, any monkeys headed here soon?
  • Look for a party at DangerHQ sometime this July :)
  • /lookinatyoutoomfpb,drivingmenuts,suphaltus
  • /blows kisses at nickdanger
  • by the way, i'll be there.
  • Yeeee Haaawwww! My first shoutout. Thanks Austinites!
  • I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I MISSED THE COCKA DOODY AUSTIN MONKEY MEET UP! I had only been in Austin a few weeks but I would have LOVED to come! Waah!! Well, I guess I'll have to wait for the next one. sigh.
  • That's OK, dirt. I accidentally slept through it. You have an excuse - I don't.
