Revision as of 02:57, 10 August 2009

Proposed: A meetup in Washington D.C. on Friday, September 4th at 6-ish. I propose Friday because one person commented that Saturdays are bad for him/her.

Let the comments begin!
--NBahn (talk) 00:24, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's just a shade early... if we're going to do a non-Saturday meetup, let's either go later on Friday (7:00 at earliest), or do Sunday. SchuminWeb (Talk) 03:35, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fine with any day of the week, though Labor Day weekend might not be good for people. --Aude (talk) 04:37, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, that is Labor Day weekend. Let's avoid that... SchuminWeb (Talk) 18:08, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That week is good for me. I will be out of town the weekend of the 12th.--FeanorStar7 (talk) 09:16, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How about the Saturday the 22nd?
--NBahn (talk) 23:02, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It needs to be September. Any weekend in September should work for me, but I'm traveling at the end of August and can't do the 22nd. --Aude (talk) 06:46, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ARRRRRRRGH! (runs around knashing teeth and tearing out hair) I was looking at the wrong month! How about Saturday, September 19th? Let me double-check: Yeah, that's right; September 19th (Saturday).
--NBahn (talk) 07:54, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If the person who said that Saturdays were bad was an Orthodox Jew, Friday nights would be just as bad. Not knowing who it was or the reason Satursays were bad, of course, I'm just guessing. I'm retired, and not Orthodox, so days of the week don't matter a lot to me. -- BRG (talk) 14:44, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was the miscreant ... what I'm saying is, there are a lot fewer plane flights in general than there were a year ago, and fewest of all on Saturdays, so for instance, from DC to Greensboro NC, the last flight out for me is 4:30pm on Saturdays and 8:00 pm any other day of the week. But it's really not a problem, I don't mind staying over Saturday night if you guys like Saturdays. Any weekend in Sept is good. - Dank (push to talk) 16:59, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll be out of town from Sept 11th to 16th, and I think Labor day weekend would also be bad. Any other day would work for me. Stu ^(aeiou)_{I'm Researching Wikipedia} 14:34, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Any weekend is fine for me. Kirill ^[talk] [pf] 16:32, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Generally open for the moment. Cheers! bd2412 T 13:50, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As of now any weekend in September works for me. Kat Walsh (spill your mind?) 04:29, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Saturday, September 19th at 5pm Proposed (Yeas, Nays, & Maybes)

Yeas

In trying to digest all of this --- I am going to propose Saturday September 19, 5pm, as that seems most agreeable. Let the objections begin. --rocketrye12^{talk/contribs} 05:43, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I strenuously obje- oh, wait, that works fine for me. bd2412 T 06:13, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Works for me also...--FeanorStar7 (talk) 09:11, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ditto.
--NBahn (talk) 11:17, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Much better for me, I can't do the 4th as I'll be doing a lecture in Seattle. ⇒SWATJester ^{Son of the Defender} 14:28, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Sure. - Dank (push to talk) 16:15, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
OK for me (barring a hurricane). JGHowes ^talk 16:42, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good. Stu ^(aeiou)_{I'm Researching Wikipedia} 18:38, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Works for me. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 18:58, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good to me. Nishkid64 _{(Make articles, not wikidrama)} 21:43, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Works for me. Kirill ^[talk] [pf] 02:35, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I think I might actually be able to make this one. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 02:57, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Maybes

Possibly. —ADavidB 17:57, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It's going to be a maybe no matter what date, so putting myself here. --Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 18:04, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Sept. 19th works better for me than Sept. 4th, however, I'm going to put myself down as a "maybe." --Tckma (talk) 02:45, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nays

I definitely would not be able to come on September 19. September 4, on the other hand, is possible but unlikely. --Jnelson09 (talk) 22:25, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Location discussion

There's numerous choices.

A) Uno at Union Station
B) Teaism
C) That mediterranean place off of Dupont Circle we had the 3rd or 4th one? Skewers, something like that?
D) Politics and Prose up in Chevy Chase? I think it would be a very interesting idea, and might give us some editing ideas from interesting books.
E) Wherever we had the last one
F) Other?
Feel free to discuss away below. ⇒SWATJester ^{Son of the Defender} 21:25, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All things being equal, I prefer Union Station. I know the location and I won't get lost.
