Central Florida Meet-N-Greet, Saturday, August 8th - UPDATED FIRST POST

[Ivisi]

Soft date is the 8th of August, seemed like it was far enough out for everyone to make plans for, but not so far out that it seemed like it would take forever before we'd get to meet up. I figure another lunchtime meet would maybe work, 12-3'ish?

If enough people cannot make it to this date or time, then we can shift it around a bit, and try to accommodate as many people as possible.

Oh, and don't forget to vote on the location, all are located around the Florida Mall area, which seems to be very 'central' to Central Florida.

edit: I made the poll multiple choice, so vote for all of your favorites.

Quoted the original text to keep it in place.

We are on for Chili's at the Florida Mall this Saturday, August 8th, starting at noon and going for as long as we want. I'll be there at least a couple of hours. Here's the specifics of the location:

Chili's - Florida Mall

8002 Golden Sky Ln.
Orlando, FL
(407) 857-9909 (number of the restaurant, in case you get lost.)

I'm going to get there a little bit early to get a table, but I need to know who is definitely coming. PM me if you are coming, with a body count, and that way I'll be sure to get some tables with enough room for us. I'll also give all of you my cell number in case something comes up or you can't find us for whatever reason.

Thanks,

Ivisi

Ivisi, Thanks! I voted and would be happy to join you guys. I do have to say it depends on my Mom's condition. She is in the hospital right now.

 

[Carlos49]

Sounds good to me !!!

Mary sorry to hear that you mom is in poor health. Will keep her in my prayers.

What time would this be?

What time would this be?

Roughly 12-3PM.

Looks like Chili's is the majority winner this round, so I'll get there a little early and get us some seating. Send me a PM and let me know that you're coming and how many will be coming with you, so I can make sure to get a large enough table (or area) for us all.

MaryKay, I hope your mom is doing better now.

Hi Redbeard, Thank you for your concern about my mom. I appreciate it.
Look up in the top right corner of your screen, you will see private message P. M. When you left click on another member's name above their Avitar (picture) you will get a drop down box that asks several questions one of them is "would you like to send a private message. By clicking on it you can send another member a message. When you recieve one the Private Message link on the upper right hand corner will read "your unread messages" or something like that Click and then click on what ever is is the boldest black..like unread private message. Some where on your user profile you have your private message turned off. Someone else will have to tell you where that is! I am not sure.

Ivisi, Mom is still in the hospital, so I am not sure if I can come or not. I will have to wait until Sat. to let you know.

 

[Ivisi]

I'll PM you my number, MaryKay, so you can call or text and let me know. Also, if there is anything I or anyone can do, let me know that as well, but just know that I'll keep your Mom in my thoughts for now.

Hmmm.... Saturday... I might actually be able to make that. Me and the girlfriend are addicted to day trips, and she'll take the excuse even though she's not a vaper.

And my fresh juice and batt should be in by then so yay!

 

[Ivisi]

Just a reminder to please send me a definite "Yes, I'll be there" and how many people are coming with you, if any. I'm shooting to get there about 11:30 to get our name in the hat for a table, just in case they are a bit busy, and I want to make sure I get a large (or small ) enough area reserved early.

Thanks, everyone, and I'm really looking forward to meeting some of you tomorrow.

Change of plans, money got tied up in a surprise bill and I'm cutting back for the next few weeks.

Maybe next time

Fully understandable, and happens to the best of us. I'll look forward to the next one.

I'm getting ready to leave the house, so I won't be checking into the boards for the rest of the morning before I get to Chili's. I will have my phone with me, and my emails get delivered to it immediately, so if you are going to make it today and you haven't notified me, please send me an email so I know how many are coming.

My email addy (obscured for google's sake ): mwilliams(atsign)informasoftware(dot)com.

Thanks, and look forward to seeing you this afternoon.

/EricNYC, I've got your number from my PM and I'll send you a text in a bit, it's still early and some like to sleep in on Saturday mornings, so I'll hold off a bit. Myself, I was so go go go yesterday afternoon that I got home about 7:30 and promptly fell asleep on the couch, lol.

//Edit: BTW, real name's Matt, and I'll be wearing a black UCF Knights baseball cap. I'll also be the one that looks too young for all the gray in his hair.

I hope one of the attendees will give a report -- who did you meet face-to-face for the first time, what all did you talk about, that sort of thing. You feel like you get to know people on the forum and it think it'll be interesting to hear how "in person" went.

Hope you all had a good time!!!
