If anyone lives near the city and wants to get together to do something fun and cheap, let me know. I'm shy of course, but I do really like people and would like to get out of my shell. Maybe a museum or some food?

 

[estse]

I'd say I'm all for a gathering, but that would mean revealing my hideous self, and looks can hurt people really badly.

 

[Coyote]

Sure, I might be up for that.

And if you warn us Chrome, we can wear our protective glasses.

 

[HustleRose]

Some food sounds good to me.

 

[dax]

I might go, depends where exactly we would go.

 

[HustleRose]

I can go anywhere the T can take me....

I'd really like to do something. My off-and-on CBT group wants me to go to a MeetUp, but the SAD groups are always full. So something by the end of this week or early the next would be great!

Id consider going. Its a bit of a drive though.

Casual dining/fast food or something inexpensive would be prefered though.

Agree.

Also, were in MA are you? Maybe I can look for something in between. If everyone wants to post their exact location (not address, obviously) I can look for something comfortable for most of us...

 

[dax]

I'd prefer somewhere outside the Boston area, if I ended up going. I have a car so I'm not worried about the distance. Also what about meeting somewhere where we would be free to talk about SA without people over-hearing? Some libraries offer small rooms you can use for short meetings. I think that would be a good place to meet before or after going out to eat to be able to talk about our experiences with SA comfortably.

 

[HustleRose]

^Yes! That would be great. If you look for the library, I can look for the cheap restaurant.

 

[dax]

I work a killer job so I won't have any time during the week to call around or anything unfortunately. But I do know of a place where I think you can have private meetings, it's the Lucia Mastrangelo meeting room at the Watertown Free Public Library.

 

[HustleRose]

I can do any day from Monday through Friday after 2pm, and any time on Sunday.

If everyone can post the days/times they're available, I can call the library and set it up...?

 

[dax]

I would only be available on the weekends. And I would say two weeks notice would be good because sometimes I will have things planned. Also there might be a small fee to reserve that room (not sure). If there is don't worry about it I can cover it.

 

[dax]

Actually here is more info on the meeting rooms at that library if you were interested in going to that one.

We could always just meet in the library, no real need to have a conference room?

So how it looks so far is that a Sunday would be best. 2nd of August?

 

[HustleRose]

I can do just about any day any time, as long as I have about a weeks notice

Sunday it is. Now, which Sunday?

We couldn't talk in the library that's why Dax gave the idea the space. The second is fine by me.

 

[fences]

Ah. Forgot about the whole "silence in the library thing". Haha

 

[TheWhiteGorilla]

Go to the New England Aquarium.

 

[dax]

I think the 2nd should be good...but I don't quite remember. I was supposed to come into work on some Sunday either this month or next but I forget when- I'll have to check it out. But I think my work obligation is in the morning. What time were you guys thinking of meeting?

 

[dax]

So I checked and the 2nd should be ok for me. Anyone else from Mass or New England thinking of attending?

 

[HustleRose]

Mid afternoon to evening.

We've all been to that aquarium like 50 times :/.

Basically...

This thread has been kind of dead for a while, so I'll message the other 2/3 that probably don't know we're planning this.

Up until now, though, it's just the three of us...

 

[delphiki]

Hey guys, I'm in Boston and I might like to attend if you're okay with another person. I know some SASers have qualms with meetups that exceed 3-4 people.
