JBJ .. nice to know I'm not alone.

MOSI anyone?

by **sircheeziusbreezius** » Thu Sep 03, 2009 12:37 am UTC

so does that make up for me being 'underaged'?
haha

by **punkymonkey** » Thu Sep 03, 2009 1:57 am UTC

haha, I think it helps to bring the average age to maybe around 20? Which I think could be acceptable.

by **sircheeziusbreezius** » Thu Sep 03, 2009 2:05 am UTC

regardless of the age distribution of floridian xkcdians, i would still be game for meetup

Wow, I'm kinda surprised that so many of us are up in the panhandle, I'm in Niceville. It's right next to Destin which kind of a miniature Panama City between PC and Pensacola. Tourists drive very, very badly here too.

Hah, we beat you down in a football game last year. That's uhh... your fault for having such a nice name!

In any case, punkymonkey is desperately bugging me to come to one, it's like... weird.

:roll:

by **punkymonkey** » Mon Sep 14, 2009 2:02 am UTC

Ha! Am not Walter! Just trying to get it planned to some point

by **memming** » Mon Sep 14, 2009 2:20 am UTC

One more from Gainesville! (Total 5?)

Yay~~

by **punkymonkey** » Mon Sep 14, 2009 4:48 am UTC

Okay. So I am thinking July 2010 in Tampa.

by **Josephine** » Thu Sep 17, 2009 7:49 pm UTC

Sounds good to me. Do you have an idea where exactly?

by **v1nsai** » Thu Sep 17, 2009 10:58 pm UTC

Did anyone ever see Agnostia or the later incarnation Dearestazazel? They're from Niceville/Ft. Walton and they fucking rawk. They don't tour anymore though. I'm trying to think of other awesome bands from Florida but I got nothing atm.

by **punkymonkey** » Thu Sep 17, 2009 11:40 pm UTC

I'm really not sure where in Tampa because I have no idea who all is interested, what the ages of everyone would be, an what we'd all be able to do.

Unless we do mini-meetups. (ie something during the day that everyone can do regardless of age, but then do other things later in the evening, etc.)

by **Walter.Horvath** » Sat Sep 26, 2009 12:54 am UTC

Florida people suck at commitment.

Also, Punky is moving to Colorado^[1], so there goes the most enthusiastic monkey in the bunch.

by **punkymonkey** » Sat Sep 26, 2009 4:14 am UTC

Yeah, actually. No clue when or if I will be moving. Or even where I will be going to. But... I want out of Florida.

by **Josephine** » Mon Sep 28, 2009 2:01 am UTC

I don't blame you. I plan to leave whenever possible. I'm thinking Boston or Waterloo, as that seems to be where the xkcdians are.

by **Rancher** » Mon Sep 28, 2009 3:02 pm UTC

I don't blame you - I miss Chicago

If it was not for the job down here.....

by **Josephine** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 12:42 am UTC

So. It seems any possible meetups have been utterly blown to smithereens at this point.

by **punkymonkey** » Wed Oct 07, 2009 4:46 am UTC

I think it's still possible. I was originally thinking of some kind of summer 2010 meetup. It would give people in other states time to arrange a vacation here if they wanted. But I'm not really sure how to really bring attention to it other than by spamming the shit out of people.... which I do not want to do.

*sigh*

by **tunastopit** » Mon Oct 26, 2009 10:19 pm UTC

I'm right outside of Orlando and pretty much willing to drive anywhere in the state for a gathering (except Miami).

by **Zer088** » Tue Oct 27, 2009 11:55 am UTC

does that mean you would go to the keys. Miami is not that bad, although there's not much to do that I'm aware of in Miami (as in daytime family frendlyish things to do)besides the beach.

EDIT: nvm got scrubbed and i spelled it wrong

Lets see, there is Parrot Jungle Island, which sucks compared to the old Parrot Jungle, but is still okay for a one time visit. There is Monkey Jungle, though that is more like Homestead than Miami. There is the Metrozoo, which is actually worth getting a membership to, especially if you like big cats (try walking around the tiger exhibit and freaking people out by making them think you are standing inside the enclosure). There are quite a lot of parks, which are rather nice during the day, and some which are even nice at night if you don't mind a possible tresspassing charge.
Miami just has a bad rep, thats all...

Its infinitely better than Melboring Fl...

by **TheNextCaesar** » Thu Oct 29, 2009 9:28 pm UTC

I'm still interested.

P.S. I forgot to add earlier that I'm eighteen.

by **SomeFloridaKid** » Tue Nov 03, 2009 2:01 am UTC

I'm new to the forums... and i doubt i'd be able to meet up with anybody as i'm only in 8th grade, but anywhere public i could probably do.

by **operator.error** » Tue Nov 03, 2009 7:32 pm UTC

I live in Pensacola... just moved here a few months ago.

by **Josephine** » Tue Nov 03, 2009 9:48 pm UTC

All things point to me moving soon, so I'm probably out for anything.

I'd say wait a bit before going to an xkcdian meetup. You don't have to, but I think it would be best.

by **SomeFloridaKid** » Wed Nov 04, 2009 2:55 am UTC

Most definitely. I just want to see if there are any xkcd-ers in my area is all.

by **TheNextCaesar** » Wed Nov 04, 2009 4:10 am UTC

I think that if we actually want to do something that we actually start planning. I've been in the rut that we're all in now.

by **Scheherazade** » Sat Nov 07, 2009 7:24 pm UTC

Okay, UF people! Let's meet at the potato statue thing in Turlington. How's Thursday sound, around 11 a.m.? I guess we should all wear something to distinguish ourselves.

I love the Keys. I've just never had a good time in the dozen or so times I've been to Miami and it would take a really spectacular reason to get me to go back.

by **WinterSolace05** » Fri Nov 13, 2009 11:22 am UTC

Whoa!!

First time Poster, long time reader!!

I too am in Gville- didn't see the potato meetup until today! I hope you guys didn't meet up without me!

If not, make a new date and time, I'm practically free til finals!

GO GATORS!

by **Scheherazade** » Mon Nov 16, 2009 4:42 am UTC

No, there was no potato meetup :cry:

HOWEVER! There is a Gainesville tweetup on Tuesday at 7 p.m. at 101 Cantina. So, if you have a Twitter account, come on out. I'm going with a friend. If you don't have a Twitter account, make one and come on out :mrgreen:

I'm @cpodemayo on Twitter.

by **WinterSolace05** » Mon Nov 16, 2009 11:58 am UTC

I should make a twitter account I suppose heh

Hm... tomorrow at 7 at 101? Sounds like a plan, hopefully I can make it!

by **tlunden** » Mon Dec 14, 2009 2:09 am UTC

I seem to be a bit late for the potato shenanigans. Are any UFers still interested in meeting up?

Holy crap I should check this forum more often.. I'm in Panama City beach myself

by **punkymonkey** » Mon Feb 01, 2010 5:43 am UTC

I'm out for any potential meetups. Been working two jobs since November (started one in september, picked up my second in October, got a job offer for more money at the end of November, left the first second job to accept the more money job as my second job - worked part time there until getting screwed over at my first job, then became full time at more money job, and went to part time at the first job - make sense?) ... so yeah, I work too much for a meetup. :/ And when I do have time off, it's spent with my kid.... not other people's kids. :p

by **Josephine** » Mon Feb 01, 2010 8:40 am UTC

I moved. Maybe I'll start a new thread for utah.

by **fynthase** » Sun Feb 14, 2010 1:22 am UTC

In boynton til wednesday, anyone out there under 65?

by **Cherry Kiss** » Fri Mar 05, 2010 3:42 am UTC

i dont know why but it still amazes me that there are other XKCDers here in gville. <3
