I had planned on attending the MetaFilter Meetup this evening. So, after getting home from the gym around 7:30pm, I soon headed off to the TGI Friday’s on North Market street. I got there in good time, put some quarters in the meter, and walked inside. I asked the server about the “MetaFilter Meetup Group”, but he hadn’t heard of that. But, he assured me, he’d let me know if any groups arrived under that name.
So, I just sat on a bench in the lobby and waited. And waited. Eventually, my watch read “8:30”, and I headed home. I quite enjoyed the Slashdot Meetup (I’ll have to remember to write about that), but this particular Meetup didn’t go so well :-/.
crap. i knew i should have called you. we ix-nayed the tgifridays about a month ago in favor of a sports bar on greenville. ben’s half yard.
sorry ’bout that. =(
“We”? Who’s we? And, what about the voting?
Geez, Amanda! If you’d been reading handcoding.com 24 hours a day like you should have been, you would have seen in Alex’s post of 4:17 pm that he was confused about the location. That means you had a good 3 hours and 43 minutes to warn Alex and you didn’t. Unforgivable!
i saw:
However, if you’re also going, keep in mind that, even though the DFWBlogs page lists the location as Ben’s Half-yard House, the actual page at Meetup.com lists the location as a TGI Friday’s (the one on N. Market St.).
somehow, my mind added an and that page is wrong. to the end of that. so, i thought all was clear. like i said….i should’ve called.
pbbbblt. ;)
er….let’s see amanda mess up alex’s comments. sorry about that. i misclosed that “i” tag.
Amanda: I’ve fixed your comment :).
