Obviously, most people hate spending money on movies.
Sure, there are some cool new films in theaters, but who says there aren't enough old ones?!
Recently, my home has acquired a great deal of new hangout space, suitable for up to 15 guests.
The room has numerous sofas, two TVs with surround sound (both CRTs though), and all the video games you can eat! :P
We could order pizzas with pooled money (Papa John's has some awesome deals for XL pizzas), and people are encouraged to bring their own snacks and soda to share. NO BOOZE PLEASE.
If you request titles in advance, they can be made available for the event. If
pr0ckz3d helps me, it should be even easier to provide all the modern conveniences for a laid-back party. :3
If watching movies isn't your thing,
gar-yulong and I now have a huge collection of board games. Most of the classics are available, along with some rare and unusual titles.
One thing to keep in mind if you plan to attend: I have a very elderly great grandmother who lives in this home, right under the room we'll be in. She is mostly deaf, so loud music won't bother her all that much as long as she knows that we're having a party. On the other hand, stomping around on the floor won't go over too well, so you just need to step quietly.
The room is a finished attic room with a sloped ceiling (low head room in the back!), which means it could get hot. I have an air conditioner installed if open windows aren't enough. Generally, when it's all tidied up, my friends agree that it's a great place to hang out.
There is not a ton of walking room - this is mostly a sit down and get comfy party. Lots of space to relax, just not a lot of wandering room. It's not the sort of party where you can mill around with a drink in your hand.
We could stay up half the night if people are willing. 2AM? Why not. Movies are long anyway.
Can anyone suggest a rain date? We should definitely stick to a weekend.

PLANS: Hang out, eat snacks, play games, watch movies!
WHERE: Draccy's House - 2nd Floor
DATE: April 29th or 30th - 8PM to 3AM
EXPIRES: April 30th
Garr and friends have DnD on Sunday, and they will be using that room!
Start time i'd suggest be about 5 or so if we want to have a substantial amount of hang out/party time.
Earlier might be better, maybe.
The room isn't even ready yet, though. Might have to push this forward since nobody's talking. I'm not gonna have a party with only four people.
Rather than trying to shoehorn an event in, I'm just gonna move it forward a week.
With the way this system works is someone presents an idea for a date then a signifigant number of people need to voice that they will come or else the meet is bust. If enough people say yes to the idea then the idea is posted AS a meet rather than an idea. If the event is only a couple weeks or even three weeks away by the time its becomes an actual meet it may be out of the couple week gap people need to get time off from work...
I'm thinking the system needs to be re though as there has yet to be meet in quite a while.....
Anyway, nobody is posting anything. That has nothing to do with how the system works. It is a lack of participation that's to blame. People literally are not talking. We have four or five people who actually still pay attention to this group, so fuck it.
Call me. CALL MY PHONE - WITH TALKING - if you want to hang out or plan something big. I'm sick of being responsible for everyone's happiness with so little to show for it.
I miss hanging out as friends. I miss casual get-togethers with whoever we can grab. The only reason I'm not miserably lonely by now is because I have a bunch of furry housemates who can offer company. I miss my other friends, though.
I'll pay attention to this group when I get a couple calls. PM me if you want my phone number.
