Well, dunno if there's anyone who stays near your area has plans to come to the meet, or we'd make sure you got a ride. :(

I hope we have a whole truckload of people from further away than hyderabad's close confines. :) Hopefully, we'll have more members from your area too. :P

subtle_blues June 25 2008, 14:10:31 UTC

haha.. you're mom and dad are out of town; you should be having this meet at your place! :P

angiasaa June 25 2008, 17:16:38 UTC

My place is not very centrally located. Besides, I have two rabid dogs, and am not sure how cyberabaddies would take that. :)

Aside from that, it's actually a brilliant idea! Guys, anyone have an empty house somewhere central(ish)? :)

thanks for the mention..
can we demand a mention in the list of attendees as well? maybe u can mark it as..in my thoughts :D
look forward to all the stories and snaps..

angiasaa June 25 2008, 13:49:07 UTC

It's a deal! :)

You've been duly updated in the list of attendees. :)

The story shall be told, but as for the snaps, there's a hiccup. No official cameraman. :) But we'll arrange something anyway.

Gotta keep the masses interested.

saiprasad June 26 2008, 10:05:43 UTC

No official cameraman. :)
Just when you thought you found one :)

Anyway, I'm out of Hyderabad - won't be able to make it this time.

angiasaa June 26 2008, 13:39:08 UTC

lol! Yeah, you've been missing from the circuit for a while now. What have you been up to lately?

And when do you get back to town? We've missed you dearly!

Damages: As usual, we go Dutch. You pay for what you consume (yes, we do give credit sometimes, but don't count on it!!)

do count on us for not giving credit this time. Month end dude month end!

oh btw, i'll surely be coming and gettin my cam. Not sure about the laptop tho. Pendrive toh hai hi... or anybody feel like gifting me a portable hard disk in advance for my bday in dec? :D

angiasaa June 25 2008, 18:43:46 UTC

Try the laptop, wi-fi transfer happens at 54MBps.

As for credit, may all be told, don't count on it!! :P

psychog June 26 2008, 12:09:18 UTC

Seriously, is there no other place apart from Mocha? It has been Mocha for like decade now.

Apart from my soul that's going to get tortured meeting at Mocha every single time.

How about We've-never-heard-of-this-place-before for LJ meet?

Why do we want centrally located?
a. Maybe, we can lure more people to attend?
b. Maybe, its convenient for everyone to attend?
c. Maybe, we have access to amenities & necessities? If you know what I am talking about ;)

None of these reasons are strong enough to meet at the same darn place every single time. Trust me c. can be taken care of almost anywhere in the city.

Let's make LJ meets a little more exciting shall we... * and then I proposeHow about ( ... )

Re: I protest... angiasaa June 26 2008, 18:56:03 UTC

It's been time to move out of Mocha for ages now. :)

Your arguments are good, but fall short to a small extent. Probably one crucial point you missed was the fact that the community is not even fractionally as enthusiastic as it once used to be able to boast about (Remember the days when we used to be the most active LJ community , they've long faded.) :(

With enthusiastic members, you can take a risk with far flung locations. With a good number of people, even far-flung places become reachable to the reluctant ones if you have enough of an active crowd. Unfortunately, even once-upon-a-time regulars from the past have turned into workaholics who stare at Screens flashing MS Outlook into their eyes. :(

LJ does not pay. Neither for the meets, nor for the transportation, and definitely not for their time. They won't show up till they lighten up once again. :(

psychog and I have both been frustrated about Mocha, but the statistics prove that Mocha helps to pull in the crowd. Central location, Relative safety, decently comfortable ( ... )

Re: I protest... psychog June 26 2008, 19:40:34 UTC

OMG dude, you're incredible. You just said everything that i wanted to (but was too sleepy to type) and more. If the force be with me, i'm never gonna let you die. Infact i am gonna buy you from ur folks. I will never have to talk/type long then.

oh btw, if you ARE being sold, kindly leave the two rabids behind. You can take it as a request from your future owner if it pleases you.
