• We promise not to have another LA meetup till you do. But... we want video.
• *seeths*
• I don't feel too bad about missing this one, seeing as it's on a different continent and all. Have fun. Take pics. Nekkid pics.
• *gnashes teeth*
• dmn and myself counted 6 Austin monkeys. c'mon and drink with your local simians!
• Will be there. Look at that,if drivingmenuts makes it this time, attendance will have surged by 50%! Yowp!
• Count me out... I have class till 10:30p on weeknights :-/
• You can skip class. No excuse. Or better yet, we'll come to your class afterwards.
• Where is your class, again?
• sorry suphaltus! what times would work for you? we could plan the next one around your schedule. or just tell us where your class is!
• I have ALWAYS wanted to go to Austin. Sorry I can't make it this time.
• I may be able to make it, my schedule has been out of control lately, but things may settle down for a night of quiet drinks. It'll be quiet, right?
• I can't imagine it getting too raucous.
• Oh, I can.
• The 20th is day 2 of potato dishes - class equates to 5 hours in a kitchen, no breaks to speak of. We shall see as we get closer if I can afford to skip or not. I get 10 grades that evening. As for schedule: I'm free on Saturday and after 7p on Sunday (I volunteer at ARCH's soup kitchen). If y'all want to ambush me, I'm at TCA on Burnet Rd. across from IBM.
• The 20th is the day of potatos Which equates to 5 hours, No breaks to speak of. We shall see. If you get closer, I can afford To get ten grades that evening. As for schedule: I am free On Saturday and after Sunday I volunteer at soup kitchens, But ambush me at IBM.
• our raucousness is in direct proportion to the amount of art and craft supplies present.
• bump!
• bump again! cynnbad, when would be a good time for a meetup for you? make it a Saturday/after 7pm Sunday and we can have a cynnbad/suphaltus celebration! paging dirtdirt, Bevo'sAngryGhost!
• Woo! I'm so glad I searched "meetup"! If I'd have missed another Austin MonkeyUp I would have been so sad. I'll be there! Funny, I'll also be at the Austin Flickr meetup at the Dog & Duck this coming Saturday, so if any of you Austin monkeys are also Austin Flickr'rs you might want to check it out... Flickr Austin Meetup
• wow, I didn't know that the page feature worked on this thing. sadly I can't make the flikr meetup, but that does sound fun. have to keep my eyes peeled for the next one!
• So, I don't actually know when the meetup is now. Saturday the what? How bout I just show up at the Dog Duck every evening from 5pm-2am for the next two weeks? "are you a monkey?"
• Sept. 20 - 8pm@The Dog and Duck Saturday meetup is for the Austin Flickr folk.
• This comment is just here to put this thread back on the front page, even if only in the sidebar.
• paging un-! paging unknown Austin monkeys! come one, come all (or give us a good excuse at least)!
• bump!
• bump again - this shindig is tomorrow, people!
• so 'citing!
• I'll be there.... be on the look out for a chick with an quasi shaved head and a large tattoo on her left arm.
• We have tickets to see the Dalai Lama starting at 4. I imagine that he'll be done prattling on and on before eight, so count me there.
• ooh! monkeys trump potatoes *and* the last dregs of the Dalai Lama! I will bring bananas and things for the making of shoutouts. Also, laundry willing, I will be wearing the shirt. Nickdanger will think it's the only shirt I own, but I am willing to tolerate his low opinion of me for the sake of all monkeys!
• /looks down nose.
• bumpity-bump-bump
• 1/2 hour. Will I be all alone?
• Oh, woe is me! I can't make it. I'm ill. Damn damn damn. I'd tough it out and come anyway but I'd hate to be responsible for infecting the monkeys with whatever nasty toddler disease I have contracted. %$#@!
• post mortem? any description for sad and jealous monkeys?
• you infected me long distance.
• to be not-so-cryptic: I left early, feeling icky and slightly hoarse. still feel icky. I nominate myself lamest monkey in austin. monkeys in attendance as of when I bailed (roughly in order of appearance): drivingmenuts schlim Nickdanger suphaltus There are some pictures... I have a couple, and dmn's camera was blazing. suphaltus has requested that the next meetup be on a Saturday, and I am all for this.
• "Lamest monkey in Austin" is surely a title reserved for someone who DIDN'T EVEN SHOW UP. Like me. Suck.
• How are you guys situated in relation to Rita?
• Oh, don't worry about us. Some of us will have evacuees from Galveston and Houston on our couches. We'll have to bring the plants in off the porch, etc.
• If you scroll up from here (sorry, no better anchor on the page) to the nice map image, it shows you where Austin is in relation to the predicted path.
• of course, my husband thinks we should go outside and fly the parrots like kites.
• Austin is around 200 miles inland and 500 feet above sea level, too. I haven't been here for a hurricane before but it seems unlikely that it would be all that bad here, in the grand scheme of things.
