| I liked to ride my bicycle... | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | | 01:33pm 29/08/2006 | | | | | mood: sad After an unfortunate accident involving a rich [dishonest] jerk and his car, my faithful bicycle is completely out of comission. I really wasn't planning on buying a new bike this fall, so it's certainly not in the budget.Do any of you fine folk (or anyone you know) have a bike you no longer need or would like to get rid of? I am willing to pay for something in good condition. I don't need anything fancy, just something to get me to class and work. | | | | | | Read 1 - Post | | | | | |

I also think that it would be fun for people to send postcards relating to their area for others to experience.Details are outlined on the community info page.:-) | | | | | | Post | | | | | |

| This is what I'm thinking... | | | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | | 09:15pm 03/11/2005 | | | | | For at least the first meeting, I think we should make it a more central location. Most people are willing to do that. After that, we can choose other sides of town with varying meetup locations so that no one person or group is constantly driving farther than another.Also, I think that for at least the first meet-up, that a bar/grill place would be the best type of place. This allows those who are under 21 to still participate and allows us to directly interact and talk with one another. Although I do think that actual activities such as minigolf or paintball are quite feasible for the future once we all get a good feel for each other.I also find it promising that so many of you are willing to carpool. YAY!Any thoughts or concerns? | | | | | | Read 3 - Post | | | | | |

| Looks Good | | | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | 09:45am 03/11/2005 | | | | | We've gotten a pretty strong positive response, more than I ever remember seeing through the MeetUp website.Below I'm posting a poll to get a feeling of how to better coordinate the gathering.Probably later tonight I will take a look at those results and then based on that information, I will then take suggestions on a meeting location.Please post in your LJ so that other local friends might join us. Would you be open to meeting in a more central location for everyone, such as West Allis or West Milwaukee? Is transportation a problem? If transportation is a problem in your area, would you be willing to carpool? Would you rather try to meet during the week or on the weekend? Would you rather meet for a meal, activity, or other? Meal (Applebee's, or other similar place) Activity (make suggestion in text box) Other (make suggestion in text box) | | | | | | Post | | | | | |

| well, let's try this on our own... | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | | 02:42pm 02/11/2005 | | | | | mood: chipper Since the MeetUp website went and made themselves a pay service, they now suck in my opinion.I'd like to try this out on our own.I would like to set up a MeetUp through this community for sometime later this month or early next month.If I get enough positive responses I'll take posted suggestions on a meeting time & place and then I'll post a poll for voting.Would you participate on a meet-up? Would you come to a meet up? Maybe (other, see text box) What side of town would you prefer to meet on? North (Milwaukee, Brown Deer) South (Franklin, Greenfield, Oak Creek) West (Brookfield, Waukesha) | | | | | | Read 2 - Post | | | | | |
