Hell, had I known about this meeting, I would have gone, especially considering what a pain in the ass I have been and will continue to be to BFL, they might have given me a few Minirigs just to get me to go away!

An opportunity missed!

Sad

It was not a BFL meeting, it was just a local Bitcoin enthusiasts meeting. If you came to beg, cry or bitch I think we all would have expelled you.

Well, I would not have come to "beg, cry or bitch" but would certainly have had a few questions for The Josh and as far as expelling me, had you tried that one, I would have simply gone to sit at the bar and had a good time; maybe even running across a fine looking gal while you all congratulated yourselves on your success.

Jesus Christ; PG got FREE EQUIPMENT and changed his tune and went so far as to ADMIT to the fact!

Ya'll got no sense of humour!

My $.02.

Hey PG,

Just curious, how much of forum topics surrounding BFL did you folks discuss? Or was there that awkward silence?

 Grin

Really interesting lol

IKR? I am having trouble with how this meeting came to be and it looks like it went down peacefully according to the pic. What have I missed?

Excellent Meetup with Goat soon to provide pics. In attendance was myself, bcp19, boozer and a friend of his with his son, Goat with his lovely wife, Josh, and Sonny. While they all ate raw fish, I enjoyed a fully cooked cow. While they all got drunk and picked on me, I had coffee and took it like the passive asshole I am.

Seriously, it was extremely enjoyable, and I will be writing up an excellent review of BFL as soon as I get back home to Illinois. The review will not be influenced by the proverbial Kool Aid or the gift Josh gave bcp19 and I: A 60 GH/s miner rated at only 20 GH/s due to some subpar component--maybe the chip(s).

I wish to thank boozer for putting this Meetup together and BFL for picking up the tab.
All got drunk?!?!?  You were sitting next to me watching me drink water all night Tongue  Just cause I like the sinus burn from Wasabi doesn't mean I was drunk!

Dammit!

I missed this thread!

Oh, by the way, Manhattan, Kansas is not "just down the road" from KC.

It's like 90 miles and GO JAYHAWKS!

LOL!

cow school as we used to call it!

Wink

Just kidding!

Next time for a KC meeting, we could use my field for a big hookup with BBQ and the whole schmear!

Thanks Gage! It was a lot of fun to meet you all!  Can't wait for the next one!  Wish there was more time to get know everyone better but hopefully I can get to know people a bit better on here and another meetup isnt too far off (although need more locals lol)

any pics?

I want to be there so bad but i'm stuck until October. I would love to try Kansas BBQ. Always heard good thing about it.  

Just walking out the door to go, I guess I can bring a camera. Don't know if we will take pics though.

IIRC, the last meetup you attended and took pics, one of the guys ended up going dark, and one of the pics your provided somebody shopped, labeling all in attendance the same nym.

BTW, if any pics of me appear on this forum with me drinking Kool Aid, I want to go on record and state that I didn't drink the five gallon bucket of it, but that it was administered via an enima. It took three guys to hold me down, maybe only two, for I believe a reach-around was in progress, but by whom I don't know because I had my eyes closed fantasizing that the plug was of a goat, making the horrible act comfortable.

I will set it up.  I'll put us down for like 8 or so, in case others show up.  There should be plenty of room either way.


I will odds are be bringing two others. One guy who is kinda interested in BTC the other being my wife.

edit:  that other guy is no longer going to be there. just my wife and i.


Looks like I drove 400 miles for nothing--Goat's bringing his wife.

Wow, I woulda missed this thread if someone hadn't linked it!  I'll be in KC that day and I love sushi!  Tell the restaurant not to run out of wasabi!!!!!

I thought you were aware, but I didn't bring it up via our brief PM session since I understood you had to get back home early enough to be ready for the next day's activity.

See you Tuesday noonish at the lab.
I think part of it is I keep thinking along the lines of when I used to live in KC and it'd take almost 4 hours to drive home for a visit, but the speed limit was 55 back then.  While I don't like making a habit of not getting enough sleep, I've had to often enough in the Navy to be able to get away with it under special circumstances.  I think this may count as one.

How does everyone feel about sushi and chinese food?  There is a place in Olathe called Sake Lounge that has pretty damned good sushi and the rest of the menu is pretty good as well.  If you like Sake, they have like 23 different kinds.  I can probably get us a reserved area over in the bar/lounge side or the presentation/business meeting side or just the regular restaurant as well. Ignore their website, it's some template piece o' crap, the actual place is much nicer than the website would lead you to believe.

Personally, I'd prefer Sake over Gordon Biersch, especially if it's going to be noisy and rowdy.

Sushi yumm!
Why dont you guys come to germany? We can have brezels and bratwurst

Inaba, seems people don't care to much.  Since there is just the 4-5 confirmed (you, Gage, Goat, myself, a 5th you said might come with you) I think it would be okay to move it as notifying everyone shouldn't be hard, lol.  I'll leave the final decision up to you.  If you want to make reservations etc. at that lounge, just let us know and I'll update the first post with the new location.

Isn't Bitcoin all about getting noisy and rowdy! lol... j/k   I have no attachment to Gordon Biersch.  I like beer over sake... but sushi over about anything... so either place is fine with me.  Only advantage a noisy place has is if you are all assholes I can ignore you easier  Shocked lmao

I'm game wherever. Not into sushi or Sake, but Zhou Tong food is fine, especially the Yifu Duck with orange sauce.

Dang, I'll be out of town the 10th. Hopefully the turnout is good so I have a chance to make another.



Anyone interested in helping me organize a Lawrence meetup?

If there's a Lawrence meetup, I may be interested in going, depending on my schedule.   Downtown noonish would be best.  I may be able to bring my coworker, too. (we work just off Mass)

Lawrence is pretty far for me but I might go if the date is okay.

Why on earth would you want to meet in lawrance when Manhattan is right down the road and has so much more to offer.  BTW, KSU football starts on friday!

Also I will check my calendar, but it would be fun to be there, especially since that is one of my favorite restaurants. Steak Frites FTW

Split the difference and let's all go fishing at Perry State Park.

That doesn't sound like a bad idea at all!

I say we wait till after the 10th as to not steal KC's thunder, then plan on a meet somewhere ideal like Perry for Lawrence, Topeka, and Manhattan.
