Party at Wendell's! Who's going?

  • If any monkeys do go (and it's a bit of a trip from Manhattan, so I won't be making it) it would seem appropriate that the MoFi table be close enough to the MeFi table to overhear conversation but to not take part in the conversation. And then, perhaps, a few MeFi members would get up and sit at the MoFi table for a while, and then go back to the MeFi table, and then come back to the MoFi table, and then go back to the MeFi table...
  • They never have meetups near me. But I would definitely lurk at one, given the chance.
  • I totally saw that and said to my friend, "We are so crashing it's stupid." And then I wondered if there was any way we could get invited and not have to crash. Wendell?? Weeendeeelll?? Some monkeys live in LA too.
  • Are we gonna rumble?! cue West Side Story sound track.
  • I call Jets!!!
  • Leonard Bernstein day! (and yes, we *are* so there it's stupid, invited or no)
  • ::weeps:: Can't. Make. Links. GO!
  • /me has first cigarette, eyes last dying day
  • *wipes diet Coke off monitor and keyboard* Certainsome1, you hit the nail on the head.
  • For the record, all FilterMonkeys are invited (however, I may have to alter the swag bags for MeFi wannabes) - Leonard Bernstein is NOT invited. I'd like a little pre-warning of how many Monkeys will attend so I can arrange for adequate seating at the 'children's table'. BTW, the exact location is not yet set, so suggestions will be welcomed on this thread as well...
  • I know a great little place in Topanga Canyon...
  • I know a great little place in Topanga Canyon... Whoa... Seventies flashback...
  • So far it looks like it's tracicle, Kimberly and moi... Thanks, wendell! How 'bout a happy hour at El Torito? They're all over the place, usually have a patio for smokers and you can get stupid drunk & fill up on tacos for cheap. ::Hopes for a Saturday night meetup::
  • I spent ten growing-up years close to what they tell me is the FIRST El Torito, on Ventura Blvd. in Encino. My first childhood exposure to salsa was the complimentary dip that accompanied their complimentary chips. A full-gringo white boy like me doesn't recover from a trauma like that... I think Saturday the 10th is gaining consensus on both sites...
  • I wish I could be there, but a certain ocean seems to be holding me back.
  • Party at Tracicle's! (I'm building a crate to ship myself to New Zealand... Is FedEx ok, or is there a better service for CA to NZ live goods?) BTW, Northern-San-Diego-County MeFi meetup Sunday the 28th... Any Monkey willing to drive me down from North Hollywood or Van Noise gets me as your personal defender at the event and Designated Driver for the trip back... E-mail me.
  • Has anything been decided firmly in the manner of dates or have I missed followup threads?
  • I'm pretty sure it was sometime before now. I can't be sure, but hey, time is relative.
