'Lo fellow gqmfs! I was hoping to attend the upcoming party, but I don't have my own means of transport. I also have a friend of mine who would like to come along as well, so we were curious if there was anyone in Iowa that lives in the Des Moines area or would be passing through that had room for two in their car. I'm new to the group so I don't ( Read more... )

First, the bad news:  I'm sorry.  I am so horribly sorry, but I can't go see "Red" today.  I've spent the last few days in a whirlwind edit session for the fic I'm posting this morning (the startrekbigbang challenge).  I'm beyond exhausted and still have to set up for the party.  So please forgive me, but I'm not going to go see "Red" today.  If ( Read more... )

Okay crew, based on the results of THIS POLL, it looks like the meetup will be THIS SUNDAY, and will be pot-luck style.

Because it's a "school night", we can't go too late.  I was thinking of starting up the gathering around 2:00 PM or 3:00 PM.  Nobody else requested to host it, so it looks like this will be at my house.

So, show up at my place on ( Read more... )

Hello crew!  Based on the poll results from this post, we're going to have the next meetup on February 27th, which is two weekends from now.  I'm sorry that nothing happened yesterday - I ended up in two different meetings, running errands, and to be honest, feeling a bit under the weather.  That's okay, because a lot more people are going to be ( Read more... )

Hello Crew of the USS Macchiato!

Okay, due to the fact that pretty much the entire Lawrence crowd is unable to attend the meetup I'd tentatively hoped to have tomorrow, it is indeed NOT going to happen.

HOWEVER, we are having a mini-meetup here in Kansas City for those who can come.

THE PLAN: If you are interested, PLEASE E-MAIL ME at ( Read more... )

We're barely 24 hours out from the first large-scale meetup for the Kansas City Star Trek group. (By the way, we're going to need an absolutely flail-tastic and obnoxiously silly serious discussion about a name for our group.) Anyway, to make sure everyone is on the same page, here's our last-minute summary and planning post.

THE PLAN:At 2:00 PM ( Read more... )

Here's the idea:  We need to have one meetup before the holiday season strikes in force.  I'd like to do this meetup in Kansas City, and the next one in Lawrence.

Here's the plan:  On Saturday the 21st, we'll get together for food, drinks, movie/episode watching, and general geekery.

We'll start at McCoy's in Westport around 2:00 PM.  Food, drinks ( Read more... )

Okay, my fellow Kansas City Trekkies!  There's going to be a Halloween party this weekend, on Saturday night, at my place.  The crowd is geeky, not Trek-exclusive, but plenty of Trek fans will be in attendance along with other varieties of geeks.  Costumes are highly encouraged.

The basic information:

General location:  Near 39th and Rainbow (KU ( Read more... )
