I'll be there. Looking forward to it!
UPDATE: We've moved the location to a Starbucks (also near Suburban station) which closes at 9 P.M., as we discovered earlier this week that the previous location would have closed at 7!
Topic material and start time will be the same...we're just moving the meeting place a short walking distance away.
I'll ask on our mailing list. Will you still be able to get to the event if you can't get a ride?
I'll get there about 5:30 P.M.; look for me to be wearing jeans, a white button-down shirt, and a suit jacket.
Grif, I've added a poll (see my most recent post) that should give us a better idea of who is available on what days. Hopefully this will give us a better idea of what date and time might work best for as many people as possible!
Hi everyone, just a couple of notes before the meetup tomorrow at 2 P.M.:
1) If you would like to have my cell number on hand in case you can't find the place, think you'll be running late, etc., feel free to message me. I should be able to check my inbox up until 1 P.M. tomorrow.
2) Since it sounds like we'll have to do some precision scheduling if we want to schedule regular meetups that most of our members can actually attend, please fill out the Doodle poll at http://www.doodle.com/s2afikbngrz3d42z to let me know what days of the week you are generally available (ignore the exact dates...Doodle wouldn't let me remove them).
3) I appreciate everyone's flexibility with the location for this first meetup; since it sounds like our membership extends from Western Philly suburbs to Center City to South Jersey, we can definitely try some other locations for future meetups to keep everyone's travel time as fair as possible (something we can also discuss tomorrow).
Looking forward to meeting everyone tomorrow! I plan to sit upstairs, and I will have a sign up so we can all find each other. :-)
Not a problem, Michelle; one of the goals for this first meetup is to pick a regular time for future meetings, so if we do our part right there should certainly be more events to attend this year!
For the sake of planning: what part of Philadelphia (or the Philadelphia suburbs) would work most conveniently for you? Is there a general time in the week that works best?
Two updates on this for anyone planning on attending (or thinking of attending) who hasn't seen our mailing list in the last two hours or so:
