if you don't come to meetup...

johnnybrainwash's picture

To lots of us, pdx0 has always been about meeting up in the physical world. But we know there are folks who hang around our online spaces without ever joining us in person.

If you're one of those people, we want to hear from you. How come you don't come around? Is it the location or timing, are we too scary, or is it something else entirely?

What can we do to make it easier or more welcoming?

We do actually want to meet you. Well, I do, at least. Let us know how we can make that happen.

I don't have a good reason,

I don't have a good reason, personally. Well, actually when you were meeting at the hideaway, I had the good intentions to come, but kept forgetting or having other things, etc. etc. And then when I did have time in early summer, you were moving locations each week, and I don't think I had enough notice, because I was never quite sure where to go. And with having to plan by bike or bus, it became too burdensome for me, so I gave up.

Lame, I know, but that's my story.

I'm trying to make sure that

I'm trying to make sure that I remember to sticky the meat-up info every week to the top of the site.

Also, when we are on a moving schedule it is likely that I will design a static schedule image, so don't rely on pulling in RSS data always.

Hope that helps :]

I've wanted to be part of your super-awesome club for a while, but 7PM is actually too early for me. The earliest I could show up would be about 9PM, and I'm WAY too much of a spaz to ever bring myself to show up 2 hours late to ANYTHING, especially when I don't know anyone there. Yeah. so that's my excuse.
Now, I'm going to assume you'll all rearrange your lives to fit my schedule. ;)

Lots of people don't even show up til 9, I wouldn't worry about it :3

Sometimes we migrate to drinking quarters if the meetup isnt at a bar, so make sure to check up on where we are at :)

yay

That's good to know. Maybe I'll work up the courage to make an appearance soon.

I know I show on occasion...

But I guess the main reason that I don't come nearly every week is because I'm not particularly keen on sitting in a bar drinking. I want activities! I know, I know...activities happen on the weekend. But sadly, I can never make it to those. :{

once i get more time i would like to create more outings like the one i did at the wytch castle but of a more surreal nature and at more frequent intervals. but it all depends on if time permits me.

summer school

nova's picture

it sucks cause you all finally started meating in a location i could goto and then summer school started and has done a pretty good job of keeping me trapped in my house. but school is almost done with for the summer so i will hopefully start heading to the meet ups again.

when the meet ups were in a bar they were hard for me to go since melody couldnt join. i would prefer a coffee shop over a bar and enjoyed the more relaxed enviroment where we could sit and talk for hours spun on coffee.
