LST Bay Area/Nor Cal meetup?

[MsRad]

anything in the works? would people be interested in meeting up?

i know some of you see each other on a regular basis so maybe this isn't necessary. just thought it might be kind of fun...

[tammy]

i think it would be fun to one day meet at say a rest. and grab a bite to eat. that being said, my life status makes it hard for me to meet up.

[Tight-Lines]

Totally down. We should meet at some hipster place in the east bay... zachery's??????

[Lochlan]

MMMMMM, Zachery's!

i hear ya! between working full time and taking two classes on art history, my time is pretty eaten up too. so it would be nice to meet up with a bunch of folks, have some laughs, eat some food, share some (root/ginger) beer, and maybe catch up with each other. does that sound doable Tammy? i'd hate to leave someone out.

[MsRad]

D and Lochlan,

are you two serious about Zachary's or are you kidding? i can't tell. as long as we can get a vegan pie, i'm down.

[Lochlan]

I do not joke about Zachery's! I love that place and think we could do a few pizzas including vegan!

[dari]

Zachary's is awesome, but not so great for getting a table for a large party, the wait for a small table is generally at least 45 minutes. For vegans at Zachary's, the best option is to take it home half baked and dump a bag of shreaded soy cheese (trader joes) on top, they don't have any pretend cheese there. On the other hand, we could go to Lanesplitters, where they do some yummy stuff with their notta ricotta.

Wednesday night would probably work best for us, you guys?

agreed about Zachary's not being good for crowds, but i don't mind having cheeseless pizza.

wednesday's in general are good for me, but this wednesday may be a bit of a pinch as tuesday is my birthday and then thursday i'm skipping town, and i've got to fit in homework in between. what does everyone else think? if this wednesday works, then i'll just fit it in.

[dari]

Happy Birthday. And I like the idea. Maybe we should plan for a weds mid-month to maybe help people arrange calendars?

[MsRad]

thanks Dari. Sounds good to me.

[nicky papers]

my wife and I are in! I also work in a bar here in Sf that anyone here should feel free to stop into and say hello.

[MsRad]

nicky, where do you work?

[nicky papers]

I work in a bar called the Aventine, it's in the financial dist. It's got a prohibition era feel to it. It's a cool spot to hang if you ever find yourself with time to kill in the financial district.

[MsRad]

awesome Nicky. i don't drink, but if i'm in the area and need a soda or a snack, i'll stop by.

anyone opposed to meeting up on Dec. 1? lanesplitters? is there somewhere else that is more convenient? not sure where everyone's coming from.

[dari]

Dec. 1st sounds good to me right this second, thanks for putting this into motion.

[tammy]

i can't do the 1st (have conference on 2nd and 3rd) but if you guys get together want to hear all the details...

[MsRad]

anyone else?

[Gia Dobson]

I wanna party with ya'll!

[MsRad]

I wanna party with ya'll!

so come party!

[tammy]

gia's a riot...hope she can make it...i had the pleasure of seeing gia and dari on saturday.

[Jake]

I might be in. Hard to tell this far in advance for me. Which Lanesplitters?

PS - mmmmm Zachary's! I agree with Dari though- not a good place for anything more than 4-6 people TOPS.

[Lochlan]

I should be in for December first and Lanesplitters sounds good. I was just at the new one on Adeline last night for a dinner meeting and the front doors are a trip anyone seen them? Anywho, count me in.

[MsRad]

Lochlan, is the Adeline location bigger? i was thinking of Telegraph because that's closer to my work, but if Adeline is larger, that might be better.

[MsRad]

oh and i kind of feel bummed about Tammy not being able to make it (and i don't even know her!) since she seems to be one of the original crew around here...
