Galaxy sounds fine
on friday right? Can we go to the 9:00 pm show (assuming there's one around that time). I don't get off work until 8, making the 7:00 out for me.

Well, there's a 9:45 showing that a bunch of other guys from the university are heading to. Who else can make that?

Edit: Meh, whatever. You guys go, I'm gonna go out and do other things.
Have fun!


Maybe next time! :)

Thanks to some unforseen circumstances, if I can show up at all on Friday it won't be until quite late.

For anyone still watching this thread, I plan on being in town from the 22nd to the 31st.

If you catch me, I'll give you lucky charms.*

So, is there going to be a meetup in the Waterloo region sometime after September 5th? If there is, I'll likely be there. I want to meet more nerds. =D
Most people would post something witty, humourous, or perhaps offensive in their signature. Unfortunately, you won't find anything like this here.

I'd be up for it, as long as I'm not the only young 'un there (well, in comparison to you 20-somes).

Then again, I'll have high school and will most likely be working on weekends. So I'd need a good few weeks notice.

I don't know when the next time I will be in town is. Probably sometime between now and Christmas, though my sisters and mother all have their b-days in December so I usually plan a trip home around then. I might try to make it earlier (Oct/Nov) this year.

Ok.
Friday night is probably the best time. At least for me.

Last time we went to east sides in the university plaza. We could meet there again. Then decide what to do afterward.

So, lets see. 26th is this coming friday. Probably not enough time to plan...
3rd of octobers in 2 weeks. How about then? Before thanksgiving. Before halloween parties. before november.

So, East side marios on the 3rd (or the 26th if people are up for right away). Personally, I'll be there after 8pm, but if people want to meet before I can get there, that's cool. Just please stick around until I can get there.

My pick: Oct 3rd. 9pm. East side marios.

Really? The weather network is calling for heavy rains, and a chance of raptors all weekend.

There is always a chance of raptors. This is why you never hear them say it on the weather report: it's assumed that everyone knows.

Well I can make it, the annoying part will be explaining to my parents that I'm off to meet up with strangers from the internet. Probably not going to go over well, but I can probably negotiate it if I bring along a cell phone (and perhaps a Nerf pistol?). Or I can just say I'm going to some kind of party, but lying seems more complicated. The other thing is that I'll have to bike there (3 more weeks til my G2 road test!), so I don't know if that affects anything in terms of doing things after East Side Mario's. Oh, and I'm 17.75, so no [legal] drinking.

So there you go, those are my terms: no sexual predation, no bars, and bikes must be permitted. Should you choose to accept them, I will be there. (Where do you guys meet? The lobby? Outside?)

This is my first meet-up too, so I can't really say.
I can't drink either (nor do I really want to). No sexual predation makes things so much less fun. There are probably things around to lock your bike to. I'll hang around outside with a sign, maybe.
