Hey people, I know we have some central floridians around here, and I'm at "home" in Orlando from now until sometime in January. CaliLivChick and I have traded phone numbers and we were planning on getting drinks or dinner next week after christmas. I guess we can keep it informal, so if you might want to get in on it, why don't you PM me your phone number or let me know how to otherwise contact you and when you're available and I'll let you know when something's going on.

CaliLivChick

Yeah, any day works for me. All my family is in California, and don't have the boyfriend anymore, so not going to visit his family for the holidays... it's me, myself, and I. =) I get to go "home" (btw, we need to switch lives for awhile n0n... I want "home" to be home) from January 5-9, but any other day works for me! Analog, Carno, Shalafi, Uncle Phil, Mixed Media... what are you guys up to?

Like Uncle Phil, the week after New Year's is best for me...I'm going to be very busy all next week and then...otherwise occupied the weekend of New Year's Eve.

It'd be great to get together, though!

Oh, but I see you'll be out of town then, Calivchick...maybe after you get back (if n0n will still be in town then)?

Oh, yeah, you would have to go and be difficult... No more B&C for you until you cooperate! But the s are still free flowing.

Hell yea, I'd be up for something.... I got a show on the 29th @ AKA Lounge you guys should definately go and let's definately get together after the new year.

n0nsensical

Ok let's shoot for the week after new year's. I think it's going to be too late for me after the 9th.

mixedmedia

Since I'm here through the holidays and the only time I am definitely not available is Dec 29th through Jan 1st, I will let you guys decide on a date. I will do everything I can to be there.

so I'm thinking the best day will be the 3rd of January.. I might be in Miami on the 2nd and I wouldn't want to interfere with Liv's packing time on the 4th.

Any suggestions for a place to go with good drinks and food? maybe in the downtown area?

mixedmedia

I think I can do that. I haven't been downtown in years...and I don't get out much otherwise, so I'll leave the choosing of the place to those less hermit-like.

shalafi

I'm out of work right now but if I can come up with some funds between now and then I'll be in.

CaliLivChick

Shalafi, if you can get yourself here, it's on me. Do you still have my number? Call me, and we can arrange things.

All right, I haven't been to this place but the Fiddler's Green Irish Pub & Eatery seems to be liked and sounds pretty good, so I guess I'll plan on heading there.
544 W Fairbanks Ave Winter Park FL 32789 [map]
Around 7 PM sound good? Wednesday January 3rd. I might not be near a computer much between now and then.

CaliLivChick

Works for me... I may be going there right after work, because I don't even get home until 6, and that's if I don't work late, and with the whole going out of town thing, I may be working a little late, so pardon the work clothes... I'll try to remember to bring a change... party clothes!

Okay, so enough of the run on sentences. I am SO there!

I'll try to be there. I dunno when I work on the 3rd until the 2nd. So I'll find out and I'll try to make it.

uncle phil

wish i could make it, but can't get away until the afternoon of the 4th at the earliest...we'll catch up sometime, though...

I just re-entered the real world so I'm feeling a little out of sorts right now, but I think I can make it there. I know exactly where it is which is a plus.



In recent news.....

mixedmedia sincerely regrets she will not be able to make it to the get-together this evening.

I've got noone to watch my 7-year-old and the older daughters both have dates. I was away all weekend so I don't have the heart to make one of them change their plans. They're so good about helping me out. Maybe next time.

I just realized what time it is! And I'm still at work! This freakin' sucks! I'm gonna miss the meet! ARGH!

Sorry y'all.
