Austin Meetup : MoFites Unite! The Fall Meetup is in two weeks (Sept. 20 - 8pm@The Dog and Duck). Prepare to be there ... Bring friends! Bring family! Hell, bring MeFites! The more the merrier! Those LA Monkeys are only up on us by about 15-20 meetups so we gotta work fast!

The Dog and Duck Pub Google Maps And don't sleep through it like I did last time.

  • 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.
