blogging facility in Houston, Texas

you'll sweat like a kuffar pig, but at least you won't freeze :)

talking of freezing, I wait for Chicago mutineers/lurkers for yet another thread hijack :)

blogging facility in Houston, Texas

ah nice!

Abhi - congrats good luck with the move. On days like these (it's friggin -30C outside) I WISH I was in LA :)

The weather has literally been perfect in Chicago since last week, yo.

check out desi-owned redwood bar & grill (downtown)

Is this the last ever Los Angeles Meet-up? Hard to say. Why risk it? The date is unfortunately non-negotiable since Sepia Mutiny’s Los Angeles Bureau is closing its doors in December and relocating to our newly purchased state-of-the-art blogging facility in Houston, Texas (no state taxes in TX).

NOOOOOOOO! you have to keep an outpost in LA, you have to keep the meetups coming for LA, how else are we going to get our hollywood desis to join the mutiny??? This is just too sad to be true!!! *sob* *cry*

The weather has literally been perfect in Chicago since last week, yo

And as for the LA outpost being closed, Abhi, we can even come up with virtual outposts (the bunker residents appointing local mutineer to man a virtual outpost in the wild) ;)

It is going to be freezing end of this week...but I am still up for a meetup.

Ennis, is it spring yet? I am waiting for the next Chicago meetup. We should have a fun formal type like the one Anna has planned for DC in december.

good idea. we should be having more meetups in more places, not less. ;)

yes and is going down going forth.

You just have to kill my buzz, don't you?

I am not the only one who said that :)

All this talk and no RSVPs yet? Come on, y'all - whose coming? I'm not making any goody bags this time around - but if someone didn't get one last time, I may have be up to make a couple of extras.... ;-)

Like I'm gonna mess with a diva, Ravneet ;)

/me gathers Neal, chi_diva and moves to a corner. guys this is a LA meetup thread, and the only active macacas are us!

Texas represent! Hopefully, we'll finally have some meetups in the vicinity. Yay!

For reeeeeealllz? Wow, can't wait for the first HTX meetup--yeehaw!!!

i'll be there!

yay!! and after HTX, we can do ATX!

I will RSVP with a tentative yes for the LA meetup. Tentative only because I have so many things going on right now that I'll have a better idea closer to the date.

hello people I met at the last one and probably won't remember by internet handle, real name, or face :(

Texas represent! Hopefully, we'll finally have some meetups in the vicinity. Yay!

more of Austin/Houston meetups!! woohoo

sorry, i'm a likely no-go...finals.

I hope everyone has a good time like last. I'll be over the Pacific watching a movie or sleeping on a Singapore Airlines flight.

All who thought they'd go, but didn't last time: GO!

can't wait for the first HTX meetup--yeehaw!!!

I'll make it out in time for my first, and SM's last, LA meetup. Am also in the middle of finals, but will bring my stressed-out, studying self to the bar (?) for a merry time.

A party based on an online readership...is that entirely safe? I barely trust the people I met in real life let alone online.

If there is a meetup in Houston, I will gladly drive the 4.5 hours there (rush hour...) and back to attend.

:D

I'll be there.

PS to Abhi -- try Cabo on Wilshire, El Coyote on Beverly, or Nirvana for safety. Last time, downtown was simply too traffic-ky to make way across town (unless it was the Standard rooftop). Preferring more divey places, Santa Monica or the westside may be easier for others?

I will be there.

Argh. Finals. Ok, tentative yes.

builder- please carpool with someone this time around!

Dimpal? Satish? Mad Guru? Arun? VMN Rao? Sumit? Rumi? Hanish? Prashant? Lata? Ravi the lurker? Gaurav? Pawan? Sharat? Sachin? Rajan? Lavanya? Shivani? 1 /26? Kurma? Anu? Ami?

People with finals have no excuse- you should be done by the time the meetup rolls around, And it's a Friday! The Perfect study break!

Saira, since Abhi recruits some of the SM readership from UCLA, I wonder if you could be one Saira with a world-famous last name that I met at UCLA last year. By any chance, did you once escort another desi girl from that treehouse thing to your dorm room and then through UCLA's student ghetto on a wild goose cell phone chase to get to a party during a UC environmental convergence?

Ay, Abhi good luck finishing. I'll probably be in India and > due to my month-long stay missing the meetup. Don't make it the last one. Please? Everyone, just come back. Blog a little from LA, then have a meetup. Keep your proud readership of the southern contingent of the golden state. Of course, all of you are welcome to join me for a Goa meetup. SM destination meetups anybody?

There was a sob in that symbol I promise.

I can't make it, taz. Too much deadline-type-crap flying around. Friday don't mean nothin' to me anymore...
But I really hate missing this meetup. The last one was incredible. Believe me, if I had any chance, I'd be there. What's the location?

..all of you are welcome to join me for a Goa meetup

sigh..for those midnight masses in cotton shirts and nankatais

If you're still lookin' for spots, I second Terence's suggestion. Support desi-owned business & check out Redwood Bar & Grill in downtown LA? New, creative, warm ambience, great for big groups and good reviews, too. You probably already know him but, if not, can put you in touch w/ the owner.

Oh yeah, forgot to reply to this, yes of course I will be there. We'll miss you and Crazy this time around Guju Dude...:(. I second the idea that we should still meet up now and then, even if our pal Abhi has forsaken us :p.

You all can still use the events tab to coordinate a get together, it just wont be an official "meetup" is all ...

I will be there! Looking forward to seeing everyone again! :)
