Ok, all y'all freelance types. Come swing by Hamilton Park Ale House on Friday, December 5th between 6:30-9:30 to say hi, catch up, network, swap stories, cry in your beer, etc.

Bring yourself, a good attitude, a firm but friendly handshake, a couple of business cards and a few bucks to tip the friendly staff.

Please, please, please RSVP to the event via the Meetup page. All comments can be left there as well. (Please do not comment on the event through the list email. And, I beg of you, spare me the complaints about the date/location/time/weather/state of the union/etc. If you can make it, fabulous. If not, hope to catch you next time. Cool? Cool.)

Looking forward to seeing a whole bunch of you there! Or at least, like, three. :-)
Yay, freelancers!
xo,

Ok folks, we turned our clocks back this weekend, and suddenly realized what time it was. Time to have another Freelancer meetup! It's been tough to lumber out of hibernation this winter, but I hope you'll join us at this Hibernian*- inspired (that's "Irish" to you and me) bar and restaurant, Trinity, on the waterfront in Hoboken. Hopefully, everyone will have recovered from any St. Patrick's day over-indulgences by then (or are keen for extending the revelry) and meetup with us for a pint or two (or three ). Also, this spot has some tasty eats too.

Kindly RSVP so we can reserve a spot.

Slainte!
Jennifer

PS. Apologizes to those who responded to the movie night poll. It just didn't seem like there was enough interest to do this at bar. If anyone has any suggestions, please email me off-list.


WHEN:
Wed, March 19, 2008

WHERE:
TRINITY
306 Sinatra Drive
Hoboken, NJ 07030

hey there. the next meetup is a week away. . .and it's going to be in hoboken. place to be decided but will be close to the PATH. here's the deal, last few meetups we've had a lot of "yes" and "maybe" RSVPs and then no-shows. so, in order to get a better sense of who's showing, i'm going to get rid of the "maybe" option and hope that if you RSVP "yes" that means, well, "yes."

i'll be in touch soon with details of the location. and i'd really like to see more of you this time.

if you're a hibernator or just crazy-busy and think we'd be better taking a hiatus for the winter, let me know.

i want to meet you all and give you a chance to meet and interact with each other. . .but i really need to see more interest and enthusiasm.

if it guilts you into showing up, consider it a belated b-day get-together for me. i'll be turning on saturday--so here's to new friends and opportunities.

xo,
m.

hey all. looking forward to seeing a whole slew of you (a freakin' SLEW, i tells ya.) at 7pm on thursday at:

Skinner's Loft
146 Newark Ave
Jersey City, NJ 07302

i haven't been there yet but i've heard good things about it.
plus, it looks like a pretty cool spot.
plus, it's super-close to the grove st. path station.
plus, you totally need to be a little social and thursday is the old friday which is the new sunday so, really, you can't pass this up.
plus, i'll be there.

wow, that's four spectacular pluses. (ew, that word looks really weird. "pluses." pluses. bleh.)


ANYWAY. . .

From NYC by PATH:

Take the Path train from either: 33rd Herald Square, 23rd/6th Ave, 14th/6th Ave, 9th/6th Ave or Christopher St/Hudson. Take the Newark or Journal Square (JSQ) train to the Grove Street stop. Upon exiting the turnstiles, take the escalator and turn left once on the sidewalk. Continue to walk up on Newark Ave. Skinners Loft is located on your right at 146 Newark Ave.

easy-peasy.
so, who's with me? (hellooooooo!?!?)
please RSVP on the meetup site as soon as possible so i can call ahead.

*nudge* go on. you know you want to.
;-)

hi there.

don't forget next meetup is going to be on friday, september 28th. this time we're back in JC.

and the votes are in. . .

see you at LITM! (directions below)

just keep an eye out for me and say hi.
i'll try to find a central spot and plant myself for a while.
as before, i recommend you put on your smiley face and mingle.
i'm far from an organizer. there aren't name tags or getting-to-know-you exercises.
i'm just a lazy freelancer.
i find the place, sorta rally the gang. . .the rest is up to you.

if you haven't already, please RSVP.
yes, now.
see you soon.

the freelancers have spoken. . .and our next gathering will be on tuesday, august 28th at 7pm in hoboken.

ok, sugardumplings: this time we'll be hanging at the dubliner in hoboken. because i'm so incredibly considerate, i couldn't have made it any easier for you all to get there--just tumble off the path and walk a block. (you're welcome.)

and cross fingers for great weather--because the rooftop bar will be ready to accommodate us! and there are specials on bud/bud light and corona.

same rules as before: be brave, show up, mix and mingle.

looking forward to seeing you. make sure you find me and say hello.
if i forget your name, don't be offended. i'm a bit slow.
simply buy me a drink and we'll call it even.

;-)
