Vote Tomorrow!
Category: politics
Primary day is tomorrow. Won't you feel better after you've voted? If you're a Democrat your voice is actually heard for once in the Presidential primary, since everything is still up in the air.
dcoffee - 02/04/08 23:39
Yep, in NYS primaries are more important than the general election, since the Electoral College makes us a "blue state" tomorrow's vote is the one that matters most.

My voting policy, If there is any election where you don’t have a candidate you believe in, show up and vote third party as a protest. Voting third party is a strong statement, staying home is not.

mrdeadlier, you vote for Ron Paul is definitely not lost, take your party back.
james - 02/04/08 14:16
I still need to drag three more people to the polls to vote for Obama.

I will buy you a drink for it. And I will have you know there is great historical precedent for buying a vote with a drink. It is an especially honored tradition in New York. So come on!
mrdeadlier - 02/04/08 14:01
You mean my voice won't be heard when I vote for Ron Paul tomorrow?

Yeah, I guess you're right. :(

E:Strip Dinner: Feb 16 at 7pm
Category: estrip
Saturday February 16th at 7pm is the proposed date for the next (e:strip) dinner, to be held at Casa-di-Pizza. This is the last call for changes/scheduling conflicts.

Last time we had 20+ people and it was lots of fun. I think the cost was around $9/each not including alcoholic drinks?

Some photos from a previous dinner:

mrmike - 02/09/08 18:48
Probably won't be able to make the saturday version
metalpeter - 02/03/08 10:57
Wow how did I miss read that as 16 I thought it said 19th, that I could have made. I can't make it I'll be at a Bandits game but I hope all you have a great time. I figured I wouldn't be able to make it since I have 3 things in a row but I hope everyone else has a great time.
jim - 02/02/08 22:03
If we can't do it there I will find somewhere else I suppose.
mrmike - 02/02/08 21:28
Might be a little tough getting that room on a Saturday night, but what the hell....
lilho - 02/02/08 19:56
a ho is the only one who really knows how to get it done!
jim - 02/02/08 19:54
Thanks, Mike!
mrmike - 02/02/08 19:29
whatever
jim - 02/02/08 16:12
I'll change the date to the 16th, unless MrMike or metalpeter object?
drew - 02/02/08 16:05
Those are both better for me :)
jim - 02/02/08 16:04
The weekends are tougher, I'll have to see if I can reserve the side room, let me check it out and I'll post back here if we can switch it.

Is Sat 16th or Sun 17th good for everyone else?
lilho - 02/02/08 15:59
excuse me but, cant you have it like that weekend? i was one of the original members, and ill be in town the 15th-18th.
mrmike - 02/02/08 15:57
I'm in
jim - 02/02/08 15:25
Yeah, the 14th would have been kinda presumptuous of me :)
metalpeter - 02/02/08 15:16
It sounds Like I can make it and that it will be allot of fun. I think not having it on the actual day is a good idea. The reason is that some people might have something to do on "Vday".

Next: e:strip dinner, February Edition
Category: estrip
I'm going to set up another (e:strip) dinner for the middle of February. Possibly anti-Valentine's Day themed!

Proposed dates and time are in the comments of this post.

Please post any scheduling conflicts or ideas for locations here, and I'll try to best select a date that is good for the most people and does not occur during a sporting event. Whew.

Chime in!

jim - 02/02/08 14:59

  • Friday Feb 15
  • Saturday Feb 16
  • Sunday Feb 17

mrmike - 01/31/08 23:45
Fridays are tough, everything else is cool
james - 01/31/08 21:19
My vote is for either Feb 7-10 or the 22nd or the 23rd ^_~

The 15th sounds ducky.
jim - 01/31/08 21:01
My vote is for Friday February 15 at 7pm.
jason - 01/31/08 19:26
I'll be gone from Feb 7-10, and also I think on the 22nd or 23rd.

paul - 01/31/08 19:33
You have to dress up for work?
jason - 01/31/08 19:28
You look tired in this photo. You have had a long week. I'm jealous that you actually get to wear normal clothes to work.
jim - 01/31/08 19:11
Frickin lame, spent another hour today fixing IE6 stuff.

Just so ugly and what a waste of time.

01/30/2008 10:01 #43093

Glad to be home working today :P
Just as well I was at Roswell on Monday, it means I can hide inside today and work from home on my other project.

Now, just hoping the power stays up!
jim - 01/30/08 10:34
Mmmm... bacon. Yes, please!
james - 01/30/08 10:11
well, now that I walked the dog and made you your coffee I guess I will trudge through the weather and bring home the bacon.
