Saturday, May 21st at 7 PM, Joystick Bar on Edgewood, Nametags with no screen names and at the end of the night we guess?
I already considered that so that is why I choose that spot. Nametags, we can figure that out later but we should at least gone and spot the official date. Also with the nametags we might have some people who are new that do not know the group members well so we dont want to leave anyone out

Have you been to the restaurants/bars around Perimeter Center (Taco Mac, Eclipse di Luna, Cafe Intermezzo, etc)? I'd say that on weekends they are probably 40-50% minority.

This is crazy.

Anyway, I said I'd be willing to attend, but I do not want to assume planning oversight. I think the planning should occur via PM from this point forward, with regard to any specific dates, times and locations being shared. This is a non-secure public forum, and the details of the gathering should not appear here. In fact, if they do, that could limit turnout, as people will not know who may or may not be in attendance or viewing the event details, risking security (or the perception of it).

i was going to call you paranoid but i think you probably have a point. some people have stalkers, there are scary people out there, and some ITPer might happen to first read the words "elbow room" the night of the event and become so livid that arjay's elbows may be at risk of crime passionnel!

It aint that serious. Unless you are a member of ISIS and wanted by the FBI you dont have anything to worry about nobody looking for you . No government names and no SSN have not been posted so nobody doesn't have anything to worry about. Nobody in real life knows you by your screen name on C-D

Go ahead and post a new thread with the place and date in the thread. Do not put the name of the venue and time on the title of the thread so it will not appear on Google.


FYI. ... hosting doesnt require anything for this particular event. Its not like you are bringing food, strippers and drinks.

Okay. I agree with Hautemomma. I didn't want to sound negative and so I chose not to post anything. Realistically, I think she has a point that turnout may not be what it should if everything is public and I can see why. We don't know the people on this forum and most of all, we want to be around people we will feel comfortable and this is why we may have to PM each other. I would care less about keeping my screen name private if I actually felt that I would like the people I'd be hanging with. As for the former, the people I want to hang out with on this web site will probably allow some give and take but I trust these people will not be so selfish towards location.

People often go to war over elbow room.

Yes they do. In fact, Lebensraum might as well be translated "elbow room."

Yep and not only that. Watch how people scrap over somebody encroaching 2 feet into a building setback, which isn't even on their property. Folks will get up in arms over the rumor of somebody building a grocery store 2 miles away. If you want to put up a midrise the locals are likely to riot in the streets.
