Commentor Ruckus sent me an email — Sempronia wanted to do a post-primary meetup in LA (before S. moves out of the area). Plans are being made for Wednesday evening in Old Town Pasadena.
Who’s up for a spur-of-the-moment celebration?

Unfortunately not me. I’m out of town at a meeting right now.

I’d love to, but OC to Pasadena on a weeknight can easily be two hours. Another time. Sorry.

I feel like there’s something I’m supposed to do on Wednesday night, but I can’t remember what it is. Any ideas about where to meet? The patio of the Dog Haus Biergarten might not be a bad spot — it’s more of a restaurant than a bar, if that matters.
Mnemosyne
Another possibility — King’s Row Gastropub, which also has a nice patio.

There should be a meet-up in Pittsburgh after the Pens win the Cup.

Lucky Baldwins, Kings Row Gastropub, and Urth Cafe are also options. Ruckus requested someplace not too loud, despite his nym.

Crud. The last LA meetup I missed due to school obligations and now I’m going to be out of town. I feel so deprived!

@sempronia:
The Lucky Baldwin’s in Old Town is too loud/crowded, IMO. If we want to go further afield, the Lucky Baldwin’s Trappiste down by PCC is a lot quieter.

@Fair Economist: You’ll just have to announce one of your own, when it’s more convenient.
Keep me in the loop, everybody (annelaurie at verizon dot net) and I’ll post an update tomorrow evening / Wednesday morning!

I was kind of thinking of going to the coast/Getty/UCLA to take some pics. We’ll see.

@Fair Economist: Thanks, Hillary.

@Mnemosyne: I’m happy with Kings Row or Dog Haus in Old Town, if you think they would be better. I haven’t been to either place.

Man, I asked for it, but I can’t do this Wednesday. I’m not that booked, but I generally need more than two days notice.
ruemara
Won’t even be remotely close until July. Have a great time all.

Man, any other week, but I’ve got a kid graduating Wed night.

I can make it. I like Urth cafe, but not sure how loud/crowded that would be. I’m not familiar with the others, but will be happy to try any.
BillinGlendaleCA
@ruemara: We can always do one again in July, I missed the one you were at.
Warren Terra
I should be able to make it.

OT mostly – but meetup related, were there ever any pix for the Arizona meetup ? I was at work and missed out but would like to see them if any were posted.
dmsilev
I could probably make that. I think. Work might slam me tomorrow.

I can’t come due to health problems, but will be there in spirit. Can we do an Orange County meetup sometime?
Ruckus
@sempronia:
Hard to create a ruckus when everyone else already is!
ETA Off to work now, will check back this evening. May go tonight to an after election vote watching party.
Mnemosyne
@sempronia:
I vote for Kings Row. It’s a bar (with food) so they’ll let us sit there as long as we want, and they have both inside and outside seating. The service isn’t great, but we’re planning to take up space anyway.
Who’s bringing the green balloons?

I should be able to make it. I’m downtown in a hearing for most of the day, but should be able to cruise by.

I have to attend one of these but I can’t make it Wednesday. I’m close to Venice; getting to Pasadena is a nightmare – taking the 405, 105 and 110 after work on a weeknight is no fun. If you ever have one in Santa Monica, Culver City, or Venice, I’m there – many great restaurants in those areas.
Ruckus
@Felanius Kootea:
If you started at noon you could make it.
Snark aside I have to go the reverse regularly and it is a tough slog.
Ruckus
@Mnemosyne:
King’s Row it is.
Leland
Yo I just moved to the area! I’ll try to be there.
Leland
This is in El Monte?

Okay then, how’s 6:30 for people? Kings Row Gastropub is at 20 E. Colorado Blvd. in downtown Pasadena. You can take the Gold Line to Memorial Park or Del Mar stations, or park in the Green St. structure, which offers 1.5 hrs free parking.
Ruckus
@sempronia:
6:30 may be a little early for some I should be able to make it through.
Sad_Dem
Hmm, I may be able to make it!
sempronia
I’ll be there at 6:30. Ask for the Balloon Juice table, or look for the unruly bunch of DFHs.
