Sacramento Freezepop Concert Meetup 09/29 (and other events)

Last year Blain organized a lunch for Sacramento area PAXees to get to know each other before the event.
It was kind of a disaster when we all gathered under the hot summer sun to discover that our expected choice of venue was no longer in business, and we had to quickly organize a scouting party to find another pizza place that was walkably close, while the damage control team expertly drafted and affixed meeting relocation advisory signs to the empty husk of the appointed Roundtable's.
And then we discovered that the emergency replacement pizza parlor didn't have any air conditioning.
But despite all this, once everybody got there, we sat around and talked and got to know each other and generally had a good time. Which is why I am announcing and organizing another such event. But this time at a place that actually exists!

Also, suggestion for alternate pizza place.... Symposium. Fantastic. It is a bit more out of the way though, so might be not so good for the non-drivers out there.
Symposium is also a tad on the formal side for a meet when you aren't sure exactly how many people will be coming or when they'll be showing up. If we get closer to the date and not too many other people have expressed interest, though, I'd be up for that. It's actually a really convenient location for me.

You can put me down as tentative. Assuming nothing comes up, it would be nice to do this.
It's in Sac so a less pizza more WTF am I doing here Idea Pipeworks, It cost's a little more for each person but its fun and very close to downtown sac,restaurants,clubs,bars etc. Plus I will be point man for that party:)
Everybody, I've updated the attendees list for the Pre-pax. Let me know if I got anything wrong and/or if you're down for the post-pax as well.
Also, Hexcore On second thought, I think I reacted without thinking here. If you can find a time for this, and anybody else seems interested, I can add it as an event to the first post.
Anywho. Granted, it's Sacramento--not a fan of that area--and I am luckily smack-dab in the middle of Sacramento and San Francisco (Fairfield to be exact) I am totally kosher with this.
Count me in, please.
I'll get back to you on the Post-PAX party.
Ouch. I was especially hoping to get people who attended last year's failpizza. That's part of why I scheduled it for 1 PM the last Saturday before PAX, just like last year's.
If it isn't prying, may I ask what the conflict is -- is there any way it can be worked around?
Cerrato0426, added you to the list
I created a forum account just to say that. You - all should feel special.
My fiance works on Saturday and he really wants to come, but he can't take that day off since we are leaving the 1st of sept to head up to PAX. If I could bum a ride I could make it, but I can't afford the gas for my 15mpg guzzler just before driving to Seattle
YOU'RE ALIVE!
...Hi!
It is a well kept secret that Blain is actually immortal.
So... would you like to come meet them all?
I knew it.
Also, since Freeze Pop is not going to be at PAX this year, I was bummed, but.....they are doing a show in Sacramento Wednesday, Sept. 29 at Blue Lamp, 1400 Alhambra Blvd. With Ming & Ping and Aerodrone. Doors at 8. $10 in advance, $10 at the door. 21+. (I copy/paste good!)
I was thinking this would be a good addition to the post-pax weaning period or perhaps an alternative to the post pax lunch since there is not a whole lot of commitment to is so far(although it is quite early).
Either way we will be heading down to Sacramento for the concert, and were wondering if people wanted to meet up do dinner before the show?
I'm so down so are u still meeting in Davis or what? I cant wait for PAX it will be my first time at any con.
