So it looks like we have enough interest to have a meetup, even before Alicorn/AdeleneDawner get their new place setup. So lets recommend some times/places and go from there.
mutterc mentioned Brier Creek. As he mentioned it is centrally located and has some good spots for meetups. Probably a good area for this first meetup. Alicorn mentioned some venues near her that could be used as well. Both of these seem like good ideas to me.
Scheduling for me: As I said in the original post, it is easier for me to attend during the week, but given 2 weeks advance notice I could meet up on the weekend as well.
I started a Google doc to gather info and do a bit of planning in a central location, you can access it here.
My emphatic suggestion for venue, if we meet before we have a private residence available, would actually be the Morrisville Outlet Mall. It rarely has crowds and has a huge open food court area with plenty of seating, usually very empty. Food is there if anyone wants, and while the acoustics are kind of bad in such an open space, I don't think it would be much of a problem with only 6-10 people.
I endorse the outlet-mall location and the time of Wed 5/4 7pm.
Sounds good to me!
I think that's everyone then, assuming Ade's agreement speaks for Alicorn as well, and hwc originally proposed the date. I'll write up a first meeting post and put it up soon.
Post is up! It would be cool for everyone to post an RSVP in that thread just to announce yourselves.
Yes.
I can commit to picking up you and Ade, unless mutterc chimes in and wants to save a few gallons with his Prius... I'm about 10 minutes closer than he, if someone wants to do the math :)
Go right ahead, I'll act as emergency backup driver if needed.
This does sound good. I'll give it one or two days for everyone to agree and then post it on the main page!
Bad acoustics may be problematic for me, since I'm not awesome in the auditory processing department to begin with, but that venue sounds pretty good otherwise, and if it turns out to be a significant problem we can always try someplace different next time.
I work normal hours, and would be willing to meet on a weeknight. I'm usually occupied Friday night to Sat morning, but other weekend times are good.
I'm currently only semidiurnal and won't make it to anything in the morning, or that requires me to be awake in the morning. Other than that, I'm up for any time or place that mutterc can provide transportation to, as that immensely simplifies things.
FYI I would also be willing to pick you guys up, I may live closer (Carrboro).
We live in Durham on LaSalle street right now.
