WP:Meetup/Boulder/December 2012

File:Norlin Library.jpg at Wikipedia Takes Boulder]]

Let's close out the year with a final meetup! It's been a good year for Boulder Wikimedians: we had a (nay, two!) great Wiknics, had a small Wiki Takes America, and set up a mailing list of Coloradan Wikimedians. The plan was to meet up at [http://www.harpossportsgrill.com/ Harpo's Sports Grill] for lunch, but we're voting for a better place now. I (User:Gaurav) am heading to Durham, NC all of next semester (January to May), so this might be our last time to hang out before June!

If you have any questions, please {{mail|Gaurav}} or get in touch via the [https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-us-co Colorado Wikimedians mailing list].

:Last minute change: Sorry, peeps! I've just realized that the Southern Sun doesn't open until 11:30am tomorrow. I'll be there from 11am in case anybody shows up, but if you see this, please don't get there until 11:30am or be prepared to sit out in the sun with me. Cheers! -- Gaurav (talk) 07:38, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

=Your suggestions?=

  • Harpo's? Really? Why not Southern Sun, Boulder Beer, the Dark Horse, or any other place that isn't filled with blaring televisions? siafu (talk) 21:08, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

::riiiiight? Grye (talk) 08:00, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

:: We did have one <18 Wikipedian at the Wiknik in June, so a place like Dark Horse where they check IDs at the door might not work. Southern Sun should be fine, and I've never been to Boulder Beer! Let's blatantly violate WP:VOTE and vote on it. Winner on Wednesday is where we'll meet! :-D -- Gaurav (talk) 21:53, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

:::They do not check IDs at the door at the Dark Horse during normal meal hours, FWIW. siafu (talk) 02:48, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

::::I did not know that. Thanks! -- Gaurav (talk) 10:34, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

::I've never been to Harpo's. All bars will be quiet 11a Saturday. Does it have anything going for it beyond big tables and blaring televisions? -—Kvng 16:37, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

:::I pretty much just picked it because it's where we went for the Wiknic. I'm open to any place -- this suggestion of the Southern Sun interests me strangely. -- Gaurav (talk) 00:20, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

  • I would vote for Southern Sun (beer, very good sammitches, close to BX/BV for us Denver folks), but since I don't know if I can actually go or not yet, I'm just putting it here for now instead of below in the hopes of attracting some folks to the bandwagon. siafu (talk) 23:53, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Oooh, I hadn't thought about the connection for the BV/BX. Southern Sun works for me! -- Gaurav (talk) 00:16, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Well, even if Siafu's not going, the nearness to BV certainly won't hurt my feelings. Seraphimblade Talk to me 01:57, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
