People get ready...

Same Metaplace, same Metatime, different Metaname. We are meeting in just a few days, and the place is the same, but as you may or may not know - it is now called the Atlantic.

I will MeMail everyone on the two lists (hope you don't mind) just to get a firmer sense of the numbers so I can let the pub know. Please either update your status on the meetup page or reply MeMail to let me know only that a) you are no longer planning or able to make it, or b) you were uncertain but now know you'll be there. Thanks and see you soon.

Can we have a moment of silence for Richards on Richards?

Did they finally get around to blowing that place up? The anticipation was killing me.

I'll be an hour or so late, just to see how "festive" y'all are once I arrive.

I'm heading out in about 15 minutes. It's a beautiful evening. :)

Great shots birdsquared. Thanks for putting it all together, it was a pleasure to finally make it out and meet everyone.

Also, it need be noted that mek's sudden collapse was not entirely alcohol related, but a direct result of the inundation of the east coast cover of that damned cliche Greenday song. Oh the huge manatee!

Nice photos! Sorry I missed so many of you--had a lovely time!

Just in case anybody wonders, I feel I should point out that my apparently two-tone hair is the result of time, not intention (i.e. it's going gray bit by bit). Heh. Thanks for the photographs and the arranging and lovely to meet you all.

a pleasure as always to see you all and thank you for being wonderful to alex/alox while I was stuck in traffic. I'm experimenting with a new Photoshop plugin, so skin got smoothed (hopefully not too much) and a little sharpening was applied.

Do let me know if you want bigger versions.

The photos are magnificent and it was great meeting everyone. It's a shame we had to run so early.

Excellent photos as always, heeeraldo.

I should mention that I can get the bigger version of my Flickr shots to you, too. Simply make a request, and it shall be done. All pictures the original bits - no post camera processing applied.

Ah damn, I wish I could have come. I'll make the next one, I swear.
