Would have been easier if it was Saturday, but I'll bail on my Friday afternoon class and head back to PA early for this. Count me in.

Awesome. Any class on a Friday afternoon is not worth going to anyway.

You knew Rick from high school, didn't you?

 

[compuwiz1]

If I had the time, and the money, I'd be there, just for the sake of honoring Richard + I have a feeling that many of you are fun to be around.

I'll be there. Someone remind me. I'll most likely take the train from Metropark if anyone wants to join.

anyone know if you can take septa to D&B's? otherwise, i will need a ride

Ok, Rachael and I should be able to make it. Since it's D&B's at 8 pm, can someone over 25 have Rachael come in under their name, since you must be 21 to enter, and under must be accompanied by a 25+ yr. old?

Also, for the NYC meet, I was just given the # for the one who made it all possible so that we can meet easier; so let's also do something like that.

[edit] Also, what's the attire? From their site, it looks a tad classy, which is something I'm used to; I'm always made fun of for dressing way too much for the occasion, but if everyone is just going to wear jeans and a t-shirt I don't see why I should be the only one wearing a suit and tie from the new work.

Well... my wife might come, Rachel (member here) might come, KarenMarie might come, mjussczak mentioned bringing a girl... so right there you have good odds that it'll be less of a sausage fest than ATOT in general.

yea I'll bring a girl

Yeah I'm 25.

Which brings up an interesting question - none of us know each other, where are we going to meet and how are we going to know who else is from Anandtech, unless we all look like stereotypical geeks? My pocket protector is at the cleaners.

we can just hang out outside the entrance, where they ID you. should we all exchange phone #'s or something like that?

i'm only 19, so i'll need someone cover me as well.

dress - i usually go in shirt and jeans, but if you guys want something a little more formal, im game

That's a pretty generous offer! :beer: for you.

Offer still stands. PM me if interested.

Are you going to be able to make it Deeko?

OH CRAP I just found out I have to fly to Dallas for work and I don't get back until 7:13 PM on Friday - that's IF my flight to Atlanta or from Atlanta to Newark doesn't get delayed (I only have a 30 minute layover in Atlanta, so if my flight out of Dallas is delayed I'm screwed).

Optimistically the earliest I could get to D&B is ~10:00 pm. Barring any unforseen circumstances I'll still make it to the meet, just really late... only problem is, am I the only person over 25 who is going? If so, we might need to pick a different place so the under-21 people can get inside.

Sorry guys.

 

[EGGO]

Thanks for the update. I should ask Rachael what's another good place to hang out since she has lived in Philly for a good portion of her life.

 

[TheLonelyPhoenix]

Would anyone who's confirmed be against moving this to Saturday? Seems like that's shaping up to work out better... as it stands right now, I might not be able to make it on time either.

 

[EGGO]

Easily.

 

[mugs]

I'm good for Saturday too. I have a wedding to go to, but I could probably be down to Philly by 8 or 9.

At least I found cheap business class tickets, or I'd be coming looking pretty pissed off
