Curious George: Tokyo Meetup 24/25/26 January? Don't make me go to metafilter.
  • *blinks at gomi*
  • Oh sure, you'll go to Tokyo for a meetup, but not take an itsy-bitsy bullet train to Paris to drink with me and roryk. What happened to the love, quid? What happened to the love?!?
  • I will be in Tokyo on those days, but in Alternative Universe 1-4%8Y. Is that where your meetup will be? If so, don't forget what the weather has been like in 1-4%8Y lately: wear lots of pork.
  • Gomi and quidnunc sittin' in a bar . . umm Doin' lemon shooters and shouting "Har! Har!"
  • Mother's Ruin! Mother's Ruin! having had the privilege of a meetup with our fair gomichild, I envy you, quidnunc.
  • ok, neither gomi nor quid have bothered to come to the bright and beautiful Bay Area for one of our many fabulous meetups. *seethe*
  • an itsy-bitsy bullet train Yeah - sorry about that, Captain, I was just too busy the last month or so. It would have been great to have met intelligent, interesting and witty monkeys like yourself are roryk, and I regret not being able to make it.
  • ... youself *and* roryk ...
  • *Y-O-U-R-S-E-L-F*
  • No worries! Will show you the sites and have a most marvelous MeetUp! *pencils dates into calendar*
  • *sights guh....
  • Ii desu! Arigatō gozaimasu!
  • (^_^) email in profile - will get posse together and drag you through the dubious areas on a bender if you like....
  • *weeps*
  • Obviously I did not get ambrosia drunk enough because she remembers the name of the bar! (That was fun honey wasn't it?) Haven't been to the States in a while... but I'm sure to go to a meetup if I do...
  • ...intelligent, interesting and witty monkeys like yourself are roryk... Aah! THERE'S the love. But seriously, I don't know how witty or interesting I really was. I didn't have dinner before I started pounding back the pints, so speaking for myself, me being interesting and witty was probably more self-perceived and illusory than anything else. But roryk on the other hand -- that guy -- LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THAT GUY. As great a monkey as he is, he's an even finer human being...
  • Do we have any other monkeys in Tokyo or nearby?
  • Well, Bashi, don't we have you? New Zealand isn't that far away from Japan, is it? They're both sorta tucked away in the corner down there, right? Besides, you need to give quid the _______ you run this place with and a __________ for Chy...
  • Don't worry Koko, I'm right there, weeping alongside you. Sounds like my dream meetup: Tokyo, quid, gomi, alcohol, dubious areas.... Hell, it's almost worth booking a ticket!! Har, has been too long since my last jaunt through Tokyo... Heh, last time I was there I got to watch my friend get the living shit kicked out him by a gang of yakuza as the police looked on... oh, this was about 3:00 am in a very drunken stupor. Being a "gaijin," several locals held me back and warned me not to get involved... good times... good times!!
  • drag you through the dubious areas on a bender if you like Yep, let's do the crazy - I'll email ya.
  • Do we have any other monkeys in Tokyo or nearby? Does Seoul count? Only for a couple more weeks, though, wrapping up a 4.5-year sojourn.
  • Sorry quid, but those same dates I'll be at the Hawai'i MoFi Meetup.
  • Do we have any other monkeys in Tokyo or nearby? No one has piped up and said so. I only know of one other and she just lurks sometimes (and I only know she's here because she is already my friend and I forced her to sign up at fork-point....)
  • *sigh* I would love to, but I'll be neck-deep in tutorials at that point. If it were even two weeks later, I might scrounge up enough money to go for a few days, but not in January. You guys have fun.
  • Brrrrr you don't wanna be here in February Neddy...
  • Tokyo in February is one of my favorite times. Ok, not really, Sendai and Sapporo are more fun, but still... Japan in winter makes me smile.
  • So, is that it? A gomi-quid meetup? Please post pictures with all the dubious goodness...
  • MoFi matter to meet Mofi AntiMatter. No good can come from this.
  • I would like shoutout from Godzilla please thanks.
  • ANTI-MOTHRIST!!! BURN HER!!!
  • I would like photographs of gomi dressed up as Badtz-Maru and quid dressed up as Hello Kitty.
  • When you see Bill Murray ask him what he said to Scarlett Johansson at the end there. That's been driving me crazy.
  • You mean you don't know? *snkk* *titter*
  • quid takes photo of gomi taking photo of quid
  • Bah!! C'mon!! Only one bloody picture!!!??!?! You tease us, gomi!!! MORE!! MORE!! *is jealous*
  • quid, please!! Don't do this to me...
  • Hehehehe look there were others - but drunkerd photos just aren't all that flattering! Also no shout outs because um pens are banned in Tokyo bars due to their potential use as deadly weapons....
  • A likely excuse!! I will not give up so easily. I demand more! Don't make me fly over there now... *still jealous*
  • What, no "pricla??"
  • Ooo come on over! (^_^) Actually here is a shot of the back of my head and quid's knee at my friends house where we started off with Chinese take out (and a bit of geekiness)....
  • Back of the head, and quid's knee... sheesh! *calls pete*
  • Well what can I say? I guess you just had to be there.... :-p
  • although I think the meetup went for over 12 hours so you would have needed a lot of stamina to keep up...
  • Yeah, smt can't last that long. He needs his widdle nappie.
  • Pfffbt!
  • I have only just sobered up. Gomi is lovely, as you all may have guessed. I advise you all to go on all-night drinking sessions with her as soon as possible.
  • *blushes* I can also recommend the quidnunc kid for all your all-night drinking session needs! He is very good at making sense out of epic drunken raving. Make sure you bring extra ciggies though.
  • I'm just struck by the fact that there's Chinese take-out places in Japan. Not sure why I should be surprised...
  • Dude we have all sorts of stuff here!
  • what's the . . uh . . chick . . situation like. There.?
  • Bwa-ha-ha!
  • I don't believe that's you 'cause I can't see the white boots.
  • quid can confirm the presence of the white boots.
  • Like he will remember a thing.
  • Hey - I'm great at rememberation, Mike. Wait, I mean ... uhh, Max. Thingy. Wait a second - is this metalfilter? Whose blog is this again?
  • *shriek!* Get out you! *slams door*
