When your annual income is already in the negative, using a credit card makes it that much harder to calculate finances.

Susannah rules!  We still haven't figured out which actual bar next door we're meeting at.  I'm going there this weekend at some point (I think to the Fri. or Sat. Match Game) so I'll test both restaurant/bars and see which one is cooler.

Sweet!

Woah, I'm finally listening to the phone call now!  I can't take credit for this, Susannah is the one with all the energy.  She's like the motor that keeps this Meet-up train running.  Anyway, that's enough mutual friendship societying for now.  I'll save it for the meetup.

OMG the LA FOT Meet up is MFin' Tomorrow!!

I guess this bar place is called Birds, which is appropriate for Chicken Avatar Month.  So, we'll meet there at 7 or 7:30-ish.  I think they might have food.  I'm gonna need a snack or two.  I would encourage anyone who plans on going to make reservations to the Myspace show online over at the ucb theatre website.  So far this is our huge roster:

Confirmed:
John Junk
Susannah
Colin 2000
evan(giggles) (?)

Trying:
Kray

Maybe:

Christina the Yes Fan
Someone Named Kate
Jouster(??)

We have achieved 3-person status!!! 
Yesss.....

I'll post something on AST later.

So, who showed up and what larks were had?  Details?  Pictures?  (Someone has to assume the creep mantle now that you've doffed it, Susannah.)

i don't recall any photos being taken, but i wasn't there 100% of the time so who knows. there should be photos, because everyone was beautiful.

a good turnout too, we had at least 10 people there right? maybe this should be a quarterly affair...

Post by: evan (giggles) on October 19, 2007, 01:43:41 PM
it was very cool to meet you all the other night. i hope the ucb show had you all in stitches. thanks susannah, for being a social butterfly and orchestrating this thing.

until next time...

Post by: John Junk on October 19, 2007, 02:13:13 PM
Yeah, wish I took a pic or two, but on the other hand, I think our lack of photography means we all live in the moment and are therefore awesome. The UCB show was pretty good.  The appetizer platters were intense.  I'm really hung over right now so it's hard for me to concentrate, but it was great meeting you all.  I genuinely had a blast.

Fixed!

Sorry, this was my fault.  I actually brought a camera, but was too busy declining offers of onion rings to take any pictures.

Let's do it again, though!

Hey, for a meetup with no Tom or Jon, I thought it was pretty good.  I had fun!
Title: Re: OFFICIAL LA-AREA FOT MEETUP THREAD!

I kid, of course. If I was a left-coaster, I would have been there in a heartbeat.

Hey Colin, my band practiced in your garage.  No offense, buddy, but that was the easiest thirty bucks anyone ever made.

Thanks for the tip, though.  We needed to practice but were low on $$$.
