Massachusetts Boston meeting Jan. 2012?

[hlockwood]

Harry, excluding me is perfectly reasonable. I was thinking the same thing myself.

The print you made for me is fab. Much appreciated!

Sorry, but I probably will not be able to make a Jan 15 meeting.

I do hope you noticed the smiley. 😱

We' miss you on the 15th.

Harry

 

[filmfan]

I could get into that as well.

 

[semordnilap]

Harry, do we have a time? I think the last one was at 2 pm.

 

[kxl]

I miss Boston, but not in January... went to school there and lived in 'Meh-fah' ... 02155.

 

[hlockwood]

I could get into that as well.

Into...what?

Will we see you at the meet up?

Harry

Jan. 15 or Jan. 29?

Jan. 15 or Jan. 29?

So when is this meeting? Has it been decided that it will be on January 15. One person, Harry suggested that date and several people said they cannot make that date--I'm one of them. I suggested January 29 and no one acknowledged that as an option or even a bad option. I didn't see any comments from people saying they can make Jan. 15, but not Jan. 29.

So, can we take a vote, set up a survey thing? Or maybe Harry, since you started the thread, he can be the recipient of private emails in which those who are interested in attending send you messages saying which one or both dates that are good for them? You add them up for each date and you decide which date.

I'd hate to miss the gathering just because only one date was considered, when it could have easily been on another date. This seems to be the case with a few people here. I'd especially would be disappointed to miss it if most or all who can make Jan. 15 can also make it on Jan. 29.

Russell,

Thanks for the input. We have 9 people who've said that they would come or would try to come on the 15th. One said that he could also make it on the 29th. Nevertheless, you have a valid point.

I did invite folks to email or pm me, message #19; so far only 2 responses. 😡

While I think we should keep the venue, the date is still flexible. I will, however, need at least a few days, preferably one week to arrange for the meeting with the Beacon Tavern.

So, let's set up a vote. Three choices: 15th; 29th; either.

Since the email/pm route hasn't been as productive as I had hoped, let's make it a public ballot. Respond to this message with your choice of dates. But please be timely in your response; the runway is getting short.

Hi all,

15th is fine with me, 29th potentially yes.

As I mentioned before, I can make it on the 15th but cannot make the 29th, but if the majority prefers the second date then you should do it!

 

[semordnilap]

Scratch that. I have just been informed that I cannot make it on the 15th 🙁

 

[ebolton]

My wife just made a commitment for me on the 15th. I am still free on the 29th.

 

[raid]

I will be in Boston during the first week of January. It would ne great to meet with any of the Boston RFF members for some coffee.

 

[semordnilap]

Raid, how long will you be here and where will you be staying? I am not free in the evenings but I am usually free during the day and could meet for lunch or coffee, depending on the day.

 

[tifat]

The 15th works for me. Since it's a long weekend, I can make it to Boston from the Berkshires. Carl

I just sent you a pm.
I would love to get together for some coffee.

You could have made your visit an event. What days will you be up north?

 

[raid]

I will be in Boston Jan 4-8 for a conference, but I will have time for a meeting.
I can pm my hotel information. I will not have access to a rental car, but I know the subway system.

 

[semordnilap]

As an aside, I'll be having lunch with Raid and Harry in Brookline tomorrow at noon. Info is in this thread–anyone is welcome to join us.

Also, though I won't be able to make it to the scheduled meeting this month I hope it happens at that we'll be able to do them more regularly this year!

 

[raid]

This will be a Boston mini-meeting .... that is different from your full version.

 

[semordnilap]

Yes-tomorrow will be a mini-meet! A prelude...
