UP | Columbia Meetup

[waccamatt]

Quite frankly, UP is unofficially recognized in many ways. In Charlotte, for example, many people use UP as a resource to see what the latest news and rumors are. Many people who post there are in the know and are willing to share that info to the extent possible... usually we are a week or so ahead of the Observer. I think that Columbia's forum gets more hits than you realize. There are lots and lots of people who read but don't post for some reason

[Spartan]

I'm willing to help organize it if people are interested. I don't know that I'd be able to make it to Cola, but I'm glad to coordinate. I've done this for the Greenville folks before.

[CorgiMatt]

I'll meet.

[waccamatt]

Most weekends are ok with me and I should be able to talk Firefox into participating.

[TheCarolinaKing]

I'm game!

[Spartan]

Ok, it sounds like there is definitely some interest. How about the first Saturday in May? Sooner, Later?

[CorgiMatt]

That's fine with me.

[waccamatt]

That works for me and I just spoke to Firefox and he committed, too.

[Spartan]

So where do y'all want to meet up?

Its this Saturday. I'll suggest 7pm, perhaps somewhere in the Vista?

[CorgiMatt]

We could have (a) semi-roundtable(s) discussion(s) at Damon's.

[krazeeboi]

Wish I could make it down, but work calleth. Take some nice shots for me.

[waccamatt]

A saturday night in the vista should be a good time to take some pictures. Firefox and I are going out to the new Lake Murray Dam to take pictures during the day on Saturday. Damons is a good central location.

[Spartan]

Sounds like the evening will start at Damons at 7pm. I won't be able to make this one either, but maybe at a future one.

[Captain Worley]

Y'all drink a PBR for me!

[waccamatt]

Y'all drink a PBR for me!

[CorgiMatt]

Wow, I haven't had one of those in a long time!

OK, so who is definite for Damon's at 7pm on Saturday?

I will be there.

[Captain Worley]

Orger?

Waccamatt, sounds like it is high time for you to have a PBR!

[waccamatt]

Orger?

Waccamatt, sounds like it is high time for you to have a PBR!

[CorgiMatt]

Okay, an Urbanplanet dot orger.

[Captain Worley]

waccamatt, I'd be honored. But Michelob? <makes sick face> Well OK. I'm just reminded of that scene in Blue Velvet where Dennis Hopper asks Kyle McLaughlin what his favorite beer is.

Corgi, oh, I get it. I like Spartan's suggestion better though, I think.

[waccamatt]

^ UrbanPlaneteers

[Spartan]

Never heard that one. Most people start referencing Captain Planet when you mention Planeteers.

[waccamatt]

I thought we should be more specific about where we are meeting up at Damon's tonight. Firefox and I will have our cameras so we should be pretty easy to spot and I guess everyone should wait in the lobby area by the entrance until everyone gets there (maybe until 7:10 or so) since we don't all know each other.

[CorgiMatt]

The lobby sounds fine. I'll look for two guys with cameras.
