Sounds like fun. Come hold one in Austin.

Cool, I'll be there with bells on, and nothing else.

ooooh count me in. I'll see if R2-D2 is free.

@bonniegrrl: W00t! Dave and Simone, owner of one R2D2, are providing the robots. Maybe they'll bring it!

@Mathmos: We had one in Austin during SXSW! Where were you?

I so want to be in San Francisco right now. When will there be one in Chicago or if there was one before, another one? I so will be there :)

I'll be holding a Nerd Salon in my basement tomorrow. Bring D&D books and D12s.

Actually, if there are any "eastern" io9ites near Buffalo, we should have a "beer and nerds" get-together at some point. I don't have a robot though.

@Ed Grabianowski: I bet you have an awful lot of awesome miniatures though. I vote for a Buffalo nerd salon with a display of Ed's miniatures. Tabletop battle!

This sounds like so much fun... You gonna do a post on it after?
Maybe I'll hold my own event @ Quarks tomorrow. Warp Core Breeches on me!

i'll be there. i always wanted to have a MST3K event where a bad movie is watched and everyone brings their own homemade robots and best snark.

@Annalee Newitz: I do. Shelves of them. We could watch The Postman and then play BattleTech all night. Who's in?

@Ed Grabianowski: dude, I've seen The Postman like eight times. I'm getting on the next flight to Buffalo.

@Annalee Newitz: Old Phillip K Dick title: Now Wait for Last Year. But maybe next year

Drat, dart and double drat. Nothing good ever happens in D.C. (read that as you may)
*pout*
...Well, I suppose if you want something done.

Ahem. ANYONE INTERESTED IN HELPING TO ORGANIZE A GATHERING IN THE WASHINGTON D.C. AREA, P.M. ME!
We now return you to your regular snarkyness.

@Miranda Kali:
YES! Let's show everyone that DC has other nerds then just wonks!

@IchabodCrane:
Excellent! I honestly don't know how many people we're going to get but what the hell. Perhaps we can get a group together to see something appropriately Sci-Fi at the Cinema and Drafthouse in Arlington. Maybe with a meetup at a local place afterwards.

A lone voice for an NYC edition.

@Miranda Kali: Hmm, I'll probably be in Fairfax for a while starting about the 28th

@Mathmos:
Splendid! That's where I be.
It occurs to me that there's not a system set up here for people to leave private messages 'n stuff.
Any interested people, robots, sentient-non-sulfurous gases, and A.I.'s can drop me a line at MySpace, Facebook, LJ, or Twitter. I am, as always, MirandaKali.

@Miranda Kali:
D'oh! I'm an idiot. Yeah, just p.m. me here...DoctOR! Muy brain 'erts!

@Miranda Kali: Try the midwest! And I don't mean MPLS, or Chicago, but dust bowl Dakotas.

There are nerds here, but we be few and far between.

I have almost decided to stop reading the posts about get togethers, as I almost had to fall on my sword I was so sad to miss the Gizmodo snowboard event. Now beer and robots, and I have no chance of getting there?

Piss.

So, are there really no other io9ites near Buffalo? Is it just gonna be me and M. Reilly weeping into our beers over the death of Bill the Mule?
