PM sent? I didn't get one. I can take the hint. You don't want me around anymore that's fine. Just give me my pens back and I'll be on my way.

Good day.

Good day.

PMs are on the way now. We need you there to buy us rounds of beer again.

Slava · 06-07-2007, 11:07 AM

OK, the PM's are finally sent! Sorry that they were so badly delayed this time (I lost an internet connection last night and just got too busy to send them sooner!). If there is anyone that I've missed, please come out: we are meeting at Flames Central at 6:15pm this evening.

In another bout of bad news (for me anyway), I cannot be there tonight. I look forward to hearing the rave reviews tomorrow though! Sorry, but this is an immovable commitment that was made for me!

I'm pretty sure the waitress hosed me. You guys all paid for the drinks that I already paid for despite her protestations.

I realised that afterwards as well...but she was cute, so there is some solace there!

She swore up and down she didn't charge you guys. Troutman told me what he paid for though and I'm about 99% positive we got hosed. I'm kind of cheap so you have to be very good looking to get away with overcharging like that.

Will Flames Central be busy due to the NBA Finals starting?

And where's I Am Beast? I thought he was going to get us free drinks and food and other services at that other bar...

Well I am hoping that FC won't be too bad. Does anybody care about the NBA here? (kidding, so don't light me up!). I just figured at this stage of the game it would be easier to not switch things up. I have not heard from I am Beast and can't recall the name of the bar that he was suggesting or where it is....

As far as the cheapness, remember why the meeting is at 6:15. So that I can be sure to save some $$ on parking! (Next time, since tonight I can't be there).

We should still be there until 9:00 at least?

the_only_turek_fan · 06-07-2007, 06:14 PM

I am really hoping to get out of here and make it out tonight trout, but I don't think I can. I really really hope that I can make it out next time.

FurnaceFace · 06-07-2007, 07:49 PM

I had some customers in from out of town this week (all the way from hawaii) so I've been entertaining. I should be around for July (assuming we have one in the summer). Hope y'all had a good time.

I_am_Beast · 06-07-2007, 08:54 PM

Crap sorry guys, i had to get soem stuff done around teh house, since it's now up for sale, i thought i would be able to come back down.... but i just finished now! Crap on a cracker...

fill me in on what i missed.....Ya i can have it at my buddies bar, tons of TV's and he said we get deals...

How many people showed up tongiht?

troutman · 06-07-2007, 10:13 PM

Small turn-out tonight, but I think FC is interested in booking us some space if we come every month (the place was quite empty tonight). We talked to a couple of the managers. Our waitress (Dana) should be a super-model.

Booking a suite is out of the question. $500 plus a minimum $1500 tab required.

Are we starting to early? Is it better to meet after the summer?

We think this will work very well, once we get a regular event happening.

CaptainCrunch · 06-07-2007, 11:36 PM

I concur there aren't enough o's in hot to describe our waitress.

Its too early for me but I may be the exception.

Slava · 06-08-2007, 09:42 AM

Well last time we heard that it would be better to go earlier, so its a tough call. I would be fine with either the current 6:15pm or back to 7-7:30pm.

I think that we should continue through the summer for sure...we would lose our momentum and basically have to start over from scratch! If we could find a way to book something at FC though that would be great!

I think Slava and I have to crack the whip a little earlier each month to remind people of our meetings.

If FC will give us a regular spot, our meetings can be held at the same time and place every month. They seemed quite keen on doing something for us, but when our estimated 12-20 people turned into 3, we didn't seem quite so powerful.

3! Sorry about that. I did receive a number of replies from people who would go, but were unable. Next month will be more organized for sure!

A little later on works better for me..., Generally i work until 7:30 or 8:00 on Thursdays... (start at noon).

Prototype · 06-08-2007, 11:47 AM

I'll be at the next one... My Thursday commitments have disapeared.
