Is anyone interested in an IRC meetup on Monday night August 4 late? (I think 10:00 p.m. is the usual time. We are currently in EDT time zone. Thanks b_b). We could have a non-alcoholic theme (for the underagers). Imbibing is encouraged, although it tends to slur one's typed words.
EDIT: by "non-alcoholic theme" I didn't mean that the theme would be non-alcoholic beverages. I meant that there could be a theme that, as opposed to previous meet-ups known as "hubski drink night" ... there could be a theme on some topic completely unrelated to drinking.
I mean really: who would come to a meet-up where the theme is non-alcoholic drinks? I sure wouldn't. Sheesh. oh well.
A JOLLY THEME
We can also have a theme. A jolly universal theme that we can discuss in this thread before Monday. I have some ideas and so do you.
WHAT'S IT LIKE?
For those who have never participated in an IRC meetup, it's like hubski comments -- in that several side chats are going on at once -- only faster, much faster, and ridiculous, and hard to follow. eightbitsamurai has been known to participate, from a time zone far away. veen also, once, I think, from the other side of the pond. And wasoxygen lurks, waiting to breathe. insomniasexx, thenewgreen, and all sorts of others drop by. Even mk chimes in with a group activity. Here's a brief report on a previous IRC meetup.
