So it's been a decade plus... Anyone out there care to reconvene? I can coordinate.

Ah Kerl is still around. That's great! My memory ain't what it used to be-I saw Nektarius in game today and the name tickled my brain. It took me a half hour to remember why I knew the name, and then his actual name (sorry if you're reading this). Are you able to spread the word to folks who might not read the boards?

>I never managed Como Park. I remember like 5-6 gatherings back around 2001 over near Grand Ave and pubs over there then one at Black Forest for sure years later in like 2003.
That pub looks familiar. Some German type bar/restaurant? That's probably the one and only gathering I made an appearance at. My wife (fiancee at the time) thought it was really odd I was going out to meet a bunch of people I've never meet before for some typing game that I played.

>around 2001 over near Grand Ave -Jeramy
Yeah! I was living over there at the time and try to keep things local. Pretty sure we went to Billy's or Dixie's on Grand some night after dinner and possibly the Muddy Pig another time.

BF is a German restaurant at 26th and Nicollet in Mpls. Hah, so we probably have met! My partner and also my best friend, both of whom I met after leaving GS, thinks it's weird that I want to get folks together after so many years. Possibly weirder still that I came back.
So I propose we aim for Sat Jan 14 (evening) or Sun Jan 15 (midday).Feel free to yeah, nay, or propose otherwise. Here are some options:
* Grumpy's Bar (DT Mpls) - either day
* Northbound Smokehouse Brewpub (S Mpls) - Sun
* Red Stag (NE Mpls) - either
* Benihana (MOA) - either
I'll send out an email to the @ play . net addresses for folks I can scrape off the boards in the next few days. Not sure how many of them are still around, such as Cam (who I saw a post from in this folder in 2013 damning/praising me for a snowstorm). Feel free to direct people to this post as well :)

>I described my first trip (to SimuCon ][, in 1997) to my boss as, "I'm going to meet up with 500 good friends that I've known for 4 years, but never met." -Robert
In the days of yore I described GS as 'a Choose Your Own Adventure book that I'm writing with thousands of other people all at the same time.' It really startled me to see the 'new' wiki. There's so much history transcribed. Far more than any of us would ever publicly write about our personal lives.

If you were there, then we meet. I don't recall much from the visit, but I only met you/everyone once. I wouldn't remember your name if you wore a name tag all day and we talked a lot. I tend to remember faces and not names - if we did meet again, I may not even recognize you since it's been so long. Anyway....
If some sort of plan does pan out, I can't guarantee I can grace you guys with my lackluster personality, but you never know.
I lived in Dinkytown for about 4 years and I had my fair share of time dealing with downtown and the University crowds, so I'm not a fan of making my way into the cities. I'm okay with making it out to MOA, but don't plan on going there just off of my request. I can't guarantee I'd be able to make it out. Just putting my two cents out there for you.

Jeramy, can you do Sunday afternoons? Benihaha is only open until 10pm.
Northbound *is awesome* and I highly recommend people go there regardless. But it's not for lingering parties as it's small and can have hour-long waits in the evenings. Sunday afternoons are usually pretty quiet.
Grumpys is typicallyfine on space and parking anytime Saturday and Sunday if there aren't events at the stadium. I can reserve a side room there if there's more than 5 of us (or grab the stage).
I've never been to Red Stag either. Just threw it out there as an idea.
