The LJ Meet-Up was fun.

When I decided to attend this month's LJ Meet-Up I had planned on it being a exercise in meeting new folk, as the the only RSVPs were from folk I didn't know.

Well it didn't turn out that way. {grin}

In attendance was:

chriso
dafydd
gridlore
jemstone
kshandra
shadopanther
murphymom
lunghai
johno

6 of whom were already on my frends list and I know from RealLife.

None of the folks I didn't know showed up, or at least they didn't find our group.

We had a good meal, great service and better conversation. Gaming, tech geeking, fannish stuff and plot holes in Star Trek movies.

After dinner the group broke up, but dafydd, chriso and I stuck around and played some games. I noticed there are now lots of games that require physical movement, boating, shooting, DDR and even a sword fighting game.

After burning through our "chips" we cashed in our tickets (some games you win tickets, based on how well you did) for points and headed home.

I already made pretty much the same comments in response to Meetup's survey of how I liked it.

I thought the end-to-end conversation issues, were just the standard "big table" issues.

If you join "MeetupPlus" you can submit your own venues, but I don't think it's worth the $19 for 6-months or $29 for a year. (You get lots more features for LJ's $25 a year.)

*nod* gridlore had said "Either a quieter room or a round table," but as I saw none of the latter at D&B's....

I don't really have it to spare, anyway. :-/
