Meetup
I went to the Austin Blog Meetup tonight, for the second time. I keep meaning to go but life always seems to get in the way. I enjoyed the people and hated the space – our choices were: 1) get rained on, 2) listen to really loud music, or 3) listen to horrible poetry accompanied by spastic guitar playing. 4) was leave the coffeehouse entirely and hang out in the covered breezeway in front of Clear Channel Communications. No chairs, just cement. In any event, it was fun to go, although the group is considering dumping Meetup entirely and doing its own thing. The venues they suggest are just miserable. For heaven’s sake, the coffeehouse starting charging cover and nobody could even go in to use the bathroom. Not cool. I’d offer up my house if my living room could comfortably seat more than 4 people. Well, and there’s the rugrat factor too.
