Title: Forum meet-up @ FreeFest
Post by: sweetcell on September 23, 2010, 11:19:35 am
I'm game.  Mostly want to meet wml7...not sure why, but that guy/gal seems awesome.  Probably wont' get there until later, though.

forum meetup?

starting a thread so we can isolate this conversation...

if the leaked schedule holds, looks like 2:30 - right after jimmy eats world - is a good time.  or maybe 4:45, after yeasayer, is better?  suggestions?

the location will be the 932, obviously, so we'll be able to see & hear whoever is on the main stage (if someone is on).

Sounds good (you are one of the only boardies i have met IRL and will be easy for me to spot) and I will be there from 2 or so on (the fest, not the meetup).

sounds like a plan, based on the schedule I'll probably be hanging out at 932 most of the afternoon after Jimmy Eat World.  i'll be wearing my oh so nerdy venn  music diagram t-shirt...

right.  so if you see a really hot babe at the festival, just walk up to him/her and say "hi, i'm from the internet - you here to meet up, too?"

guaranteed good times.

That's pretty much how I met the Director.  Just walked around to random black guys at rock shows: "Hey, I'm from the 9:30 BBS.  Are you the Director??"

Look, you can have grammar and eloquence or you can have the truth.
Shit just got real. I mean, are you ready for shit to get real? It went ahead and did, so it would be really great if you were in fact ready. Anyway, this sounds fun I'm not going.

I will be on the look out for your crazy lot. Though I think the only people I would recognize would be Kosmo, Kosmette and GGW.

I will probably be wearing an older style BDU hat with Blue lens Ray Ban Aviators with grey t shirt and either black shorts that would put Lt Dangles to shame, or cargo shorts.  I am skinny, average height, and have a shortly buzzed head/beard.

let's do 2:30 onwards, if i'm enjoying JeW i might not be there until the end of their set (2:45).

i'll be wearing an olive-green t-shirt with a symbol that, at first glance, you'll mistake for heineken's logo.  show up tomorrow to see what it really is ;D  between that, kosmo's "music i like" venn diagram and Sir HC's Helios Creed shirts, you should be able to find us.  if you're blind, just listen for conversations revolving around the problems with today's music, best show you've been to the in last year/month/week/24 hours, the inadequate selection of beers on tap, and which pavement album has the worse production value.

we'll be the next table over, sneering at the above group.  

see y'all tomorrow.  c'mon down, we're really quite nice and don't usually bite.

Yeah, I'm not sure I can swing that early (hoping to leave Alexandria around two, but baby and wife may have other ideas).  I'll still swing by to get a drink anyway and find any stragglers.  Kosmo, keep your phone close...I may DM you in some manner.  Been ages since i've seen you.
