Anybody? Anywhere? Anytime?

I'm having a hard time scheduling meetups due to my overloaded scheduled. Is next week sometime too soon for some of you? I know those with kids may be out of town due to school break but it may be easier for some of you.

Give me a place and we'll set a date.

Rochester International Airport
International House of Pancakes
House of Guitars
Guitar Place

North Winton Village

Don't make me keep going...

Spot?
Random I-490 off ramp?
Atop a cell tower?
...

Monday and Wednesday work well for me - although with weddig vendor meetings and OT at work...who knows if I'll make it to this one :(

We strip down and Jello wrestle. Why ? you may ask. Because Leroy is the home of Jello.

We really just sit around and talk and eat and drink what we feel like.

Wed works for me.

Let's meet, eat, chat, and shoot. That's what we do. Wednesdays are fine... Spot would work again, as would Bodhi's. We could try Salenas if they wouldn't mind a nebulous group potentially ordering food at asynchronous times. Or, possibly Sahara (formerly Basha) -- they're usually quiet on weeknights and have a sort of side-room that would accomodate our raucousness well. These latter two options are more meal-related, while the others are less so. I like meals, dunno about the rest of y'alls.

My french is bad, and they're mostly talking in slang - but I'm pretty sure the reference to the other guy having an "Eiffel Tower" is a metaphor. For what, I'm not sure...

jlam says:

According to Marc Vera, owner of :nook, Sahara is closed. And yes, indeed…

Wednesday is a lunar eclipse. Let's meet somewhere with a dome or a ceiling of glass. Or Lux and Boulder have patios.

(The RSS feeds seem outta wack. Mike's “got sick of ‘Eiffel Tower’ joke” is still there.)

doesn't distillery have a deck, anyways, what are the chances the skies will be clear enough to see the eclipse?

M J M  Pro User  says:

Dang, if Sahara's closed, that sucks rocks.

Distillery Mt. Hope sounds like a great idea. There's no major sports event this Wednesday, is there? Prolly hockey or some such crap.

How about it:
Wednesday
2/20/08
7:30pm
Distillery Mt. Hope

Come for food, come for drinks, come for trash-talk...

Somebody had to put their foot down, stick his neck out, etc.

Mike, You put your foot down in a good spot. Distillery has $2.50 pints on Wednesdays. Chances are good I'll join in. Favorite choices, Anchor Steam, Newcastle, Bass, Guiness, Franzischkaner, etc.

Yeah the distillery has a deck up on the roof (I live no more than 30 metres from there) but it's February so I doubt it's just 'open'

Once again, I'm out of touch for a week and look at what happens. Well, the Distillery on the 20th is great. See you all there. As for the strobist thing, I'm not really sure the Distillery will have the space for that sort of thing, but my gear bag is right next door if we are so inclined.

Going to try to make it but no promises. My fiance has a test on monday, which means she won't be studying much this week (I love the week after she has a test), which means we might be able to enjoy the night life :)

I'm around that night, but it's my only free night this week, so let's see how much laundry/errands/etc. I can squeeze in before then! I hope I can go to some more of these in the coming months :) I just found out that I'm officially leaving Rochester, at least for a few years, late this summer--got into grad school in Boston, and I'll probably be moving in July or August!

Tonight's the night -- and if it's as crisp and clear as the last couple of nights, the eclipse will be spectacular! Have you been out at night lately to see the moon-as-spotlight effect? It's amazing with the bright snow & ice around...

I'm counting about 8 yeses and 6 maybes at this point, so I'm looking forward to seeing you all. I'm aiming to be there at 7:30 with an appetite for dinner. Seeya!

Wow...totally forgot that there would be an eclipse tonight! Plus, I'm really in the mood for some French onion soup--for some reason, the Distillery manages to make it really well. My rehearsal last night was canceled so I got tons of laundry done already, so I guessss I can sneak out of the apartment tonight. Count me as a maybe for dinner, and I'll drag along BenBlue22 as well.

i understand, but i wouldn't feel right going, uh, anywhere without a loaded camera -- especially on the night of a total lunar eclipse (even though we couldn't really see it anyway, ha!) :P
