To avoid a hijack of the People Pages thread of my own, I thought I’d start up this thread here. It came about when I read
To which I wanted to reply, but if there was interest, didn’t want to end up cluttering up the thread of beautiful people. So, I brought it over here instead.
I know TroubleAgain and I have been talking along the lines of “We’ve gotta do this again!” and “Only this time, we’ve got to have it more some place we can sit down and talk!” So… do we want to have another one? Is it too soon? I know I’d like to have one before August, but times and dates, at the moment, aren’t picky. I’m hoping to get a second job here REAL soon, but it will be of the boring variety where, if I need to, I can get a day off.
Once again pezpunk will do some self-promotion. My band, Bishop will once again be playing at New World Brewery in YBOR this Saturday night at 10pm. Rather timely considering the suggestion of a Tampa Dopefest dontcha think? Beer, Nice outdoor bar, friends, BEER. What more could you want from a dopefest? Beer? Okay there’s beer!
Uh-uh! I was standing right there near you, talking to lurker and Carm and Robby, and I turned around and poof you were gone like a puff of smoke! So YOU disappeared on US!!!
pez, I wish I COULD make it this weekend, but I’m trying to save money for the move, so my gas and beer bill is a little on the low side. Of course, if someone was passing by this way and wanted to give me a ride up there…
Sundays are probably going to be better for me, too. With this new job that I’m going to get off my butt and get, I MAY only work 3 nights during the week and on Saturdays, leaving one day for me to rest and relax. But it’s up to y’all on what you want to do. I just know I’ll do my damnedest to be there and do whatever organizing you need me to do (since I AM the one that started the thread)
I live in Lakeland, and am planning on being in Ybor this Saturday. I would not mind a bit picking you up, and maybe buying a few for you and whomever else shows…
I’m down in North Port… really out of your way. If Sani were old enough to go, he’d be going right by me. Or, if I were still in college, I’d take you up on it (yes, I was a Florida Southern girl!)
I’ll see what I can do about getting up that way, though. Not likely, but possible.
No offense, hon. Just that things are a little… terse… around my household at the moment (living with the parents, DESPERATE to get out, planning for it within the next four months) so I have to check how things are going here before I say “Oh, I have someone coming from Lakeland to pick me up so we can go to Ybor with a bunch of the Dopers. See you whenever I get home!” So I’m being cautious
This is way in advance, but considering how long these plans take to come together it may barely be timely. I’ll be traveling to central Florida this June. Most of my time will be spent with family but I’m expecting to be free Sunday, June 10th. If you schedule a gathering that evening in the Orlando-Tampa area, there’s a decent chance I may be able to attend.
I definitley vote yes for one, since i could not make any of the other ones. I’ll bring it up with the other local (north of Ft.Lauderdale) dopers: Ssskuggiii, Hypergirl, DigitalMuse, ZeroHero, and weyrdchic.
Talk to you later
-ME-
(i wouldn’t even have known if i weren’t in such a depresed mood…hopefully things will get better, i just wish it were possible for them to go back to the way it was)
June 10th might be rough for me. I won’t be sure until I check with my family. Between May 17th and June 14th, I have a total of 7 birthdays and anniversaries for friends and family. Most of which happen to fall between June 7th and 14th. So I’m not sure if we’ll be doing something that Saturday (more likely) or that Sunday. I’ll check and see if there are any tentative plans yet on my end. But if everyone else wants to do it that day/night/whatever, I’ll do my best to be there.
Far as I know, June 10th works for me. Maybe I can celebrate my birthday a little early with you guys… (It’s the 27th.) I’m happy to do anything I can to help coordinate, too. (Maybe I can even talk hubby into coming along for this one.)
Just a little bump for those that might not have seen it before, and to keep it in the minds of those that had. The 10th looks pretty good to me still AFAIK, but still waiting end confirmation from the family. I may be out of town the following week, but right now that’s the only problem that’s being presented if the 10th doesn’t work for enough people. (And if that’s the only time that does, just promise me, TA that you take LOTS of pics and tell me all about it?!!
The other consideration… Where? I know a little about Tampa (like the fact that lurker won’t let me live down the fact that the hotel I chose for us when he was here this month was across from Mons Venus! :eek: ), but I’m not really up on where a good place to get together would be. If we wanted to go on the St Pete side, I would probably have a few more suggestions.
Oh, and Sani, if you go to this one, can I snag a ride with you this time around? I should be in NP rather than up in Tampa.
OK… First I would like to brag about the fact that I will be living in Ybor in 15 days. So I will be able to walk over to see pezpunk and/or party my ass off!!! I can’t wait. My apartment is sooooo nice. 1033 sf. 800 sf smaller than my present one, but location, location, location…
Anyway, on with my idea.
Anyone want to do some shooting??? Monday nights are pretty slow here at the range, and it would be the perfect place to hang out and talk and everything else. Not to mention the fact you will all get to shoot machine guns.
Anyway, let me all know what you think.
It would be a Monday so Michi can come, and hopefully everyone else too!!! The time frame would be like 7-pm -> whenever!!
Bear, I like the idea… I’d love to come out and shoot. The only problem is (you knew that was coming, didn’t you?) starting hopefully next week, I’ll be working two jobs. Monday would be one of the nights I’d be working and, while getting the time off shouldn’t be a problem, the 90 minute drive home whenever we’re done. I’d have to see how tired I am after a few weeks of working the two jobs to see if I’d be able to make it.
Btw, how did your class go? I was hoping that you’d have called after to get together with some of us… lurker, purplebear, Bluebear and I went out to Chili’s afterwards, and we would have loved to have you along… (Please tell me that it wasn’t that my cell’s not working!!! :D)
