Would you be interested in having the time changed to the evening? It's not really set in stone or anything lik ethat.

I thought MSN would be kind of ok, giving away cell# to total strangers even if it is on a support site is not my thing, u guys want my MSN?, msg me, I'm in 2nd yr engineering

I'm up for anything after exams. I know, that is a long ways away, but November is CRAZY!

Yeah, the evening would work for me.

Looks like someone beat Selection10 to making a social anxiety group.

It might not be bad idea to just immigrate into his group because there doesn't seem to be enough of us to really do something ourselves. I've joined, hopefully it gets lots of members. EDIT: I don't mean that I'm giving up on this thread though, and I still hope we can get some more people for that movie.

I still plan on opening a seperate group for young adults 18-30. We've got plenty of people & will recruit many more. The link you gave me is another group with older members which I am not comfortable with. The founder of it is 50 years old. SOme people may be comfortable with this which is great but I don't think I could connect or relate as well, y'know?

Selection10 · 10-26-2009, 11:51 PM

Note: I've canceled the meetup for Friday as I can't make it that day. I'll think of a better day and message every1 that had shown interest so we can get a time which is convenient for us all.

saillias · 10-27-2009, 10:53 AM

You don't have to, but it can't hurt to join it and follow when and where their events are. Yes it's a little awkward that the guy who made it is older than my parents, but I'm sure its members are going to swell to include many younger people too, plus older people can actually be really cool.

I'm going to try organizing a university meetup for this week one more time. This time, I'm going to make sure we communicate better. I'm PMing everyone who I know goes to the U of C. If you go and you didn't get a PM, just give me a shout out and I'll give you the details.

Selection10 · 10-27-2009, 04:31 PM

Yeah I'll join up to & will probably attend meetups that interest me. I didn't wanna come accross as sounding like I don't like older people or something haha, I was involved in a social anxiety group at the urgent care center downtown which I found helpful which mainly had an older group of members. I'm just saying I'd also like an outlet where I can also hangout with my agegroup as I feel it is important for us to do.

To anyone intending to meet up today,

I'm in the loft towards the right when you come in, grey-blue hoodie, black cap.

Someone hijacked my laptop, i just know it....

ATTENTION: CALGARY SASERS

The following is photograph evidence of the first official Calgary Social Anxiety University Meetup. :O Held today, November the 6th, at 1 PM in the Black Lounge.

That's me on the left - (I don't normally look like the mascot of Twisted Metal, honest) and Gen Eric on the right. Good times were had and the rest of the uni students should come next time.

5tk · 11-06-2009, 06:32 PM

Where is the Black Lounge?

Selection10 · 11-06-2009, 07:36 PM

Good job guys!!! How long was the meetup?

Selection10 · 11-06-2009, 07:41 PM

also you mentioned that non-uni students can come as well? I've never been to the UNI so dunno how things go down there & if I'm welcome to meetup there?

Second floor, right near the Entrance on the East Side. Beside the new Tim Horton's.

We left just before 3 I think. Anyone can go to the university at any time. Well, except for that sex offender guy who's face is plastered over every hallway. Here's a map of main campus, going from the train station to Mac Hall is basically a straight walk.

http://www.ucalgary.ca/map/ It looks like there is no getting between ST and SS but you actually walk right through the middle.

Gen Eric · 11-08-2009, 02:42 PM

WOOT WOOT WOOT! Yeah It was great. two hours and 5 beers, one plate of poutine, and a ****ty waiter later, we got ourselves an official club.

saillias · 11-08-2009, 03:05 PM

I was going to suggest next Friday again but it's READING WEEK. I had no idea until the past hour. Maybe we could go to Dixons, or just wait until the next week again.

slavegod · 11-11-2009, 06:27 PM

I'm more of the quiet type even w/ ppl w/ SAD, will I fit in?

Little Willow · 11-11-2009, 07:47 PM

That's so excited for you guys! If I didn't have so many practicum hours to fill I'd be right there with you.
Good for you! Let's try this again.
