a February meetup (self.rva)

submitted ago* by Surfacetovolume

Penny Lane Pub, 5th & Franklin downtown, upstairs (unless there's a private party again), 6 PM Friday, Feb. 17th.

I know some people aren't wild about Penny Lane, but there's no rule that says we can only have 1 meetup/month.

If you schedule another meetup in Feb., and I am in town, I will do my best to attend that as well.

Hope to see you there :)

Update: I am trying to get us have gotten us a reservation. Ask at the reception area for the reddit meetup and they will direct you upstairs. I'm still taping an alien up as well. See y'all Friday!

[–]Hessquire 1 point2 points ago

Cool beans!

[–]Nanoviper 2 points3 points ago

If I'm free and can figure out the bus system in this city, I'd be down.

[–]Surfacetovolume[S] 1 point2 points ago*

Almost any bus in the city can get you within a couple blocks as long as you're taking it in the right direction. Most Broad St. buses - 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 - can drop you about 2 blocks from the place. Edited to add, also routes 10 and 70/71. GRTC online trip planner

If you're in the Fan/Museum Dist/Carytown, also check out the Bottom and Back Bus.

[–]Surfacetovolume[S] 0 points1 point ago

I always forget about that - cool suggestion!

[–]ihuv 2 points3 points ago

I'll be there! Hopefully!

[–]mstrmatt 2 points3 points ago

Is this place somewhere non 21 year olds can go?

[–]Surfacetovolume[S] 2 points3 points ago

Yep, just can't drink, but they don't card at the door.

[–]mstrmatt 2 points3 points ago

Sounds good to me

[–]atl2rva 0 points1 point ago

I would be interested, but 6 PM is kind of early.

[–]Surfacetovolume[S] 0 points1 point ago

Historically they have gone on until at least 10 or 11.

[–]1224 2 points3 points ago

A lot of this is due to the fact that, historically, people show up late. Like me!

[–]Surfacetovolume[S] 0 points1 point ago

And that's when the party starts :D

[–]jallenscott 0 points1 point ago

My problem is I work 12-9, so even then I wouldn't be able to really go.

[–]Surfacetovolume[S] 1 point2 points ago

I'm totally in favor of having > 1 meetup/month. I know there's been talk of having some on weeknights for our restaurant staff members. I probably wouldn't be able to make those, but I still think it's a good idea.

[–]Surfacetovolume[S] 1 point2 points ago

Hey if anyone has any parking advice for this area ... I don't drive, so I really don't know, except that there's a deck across the street.

[–]SodiumKPump 2 points3 points ago

Street parking really isn't that difficult unless there's something happening at the Carpenter Center. If you're willing to walk a few blocks you should be able to find something if you just drive around for a bit.

[–]cbmacdonald 2 points3 points ago

I live right next to penny. On a friday evening, you'll be able to park pretty much anywhere. If you plan on drinking (and then getting a cab home, I hope) you don't have to worry about being ticketed because they don't ticket on weekends.

[–]1224 1 point2 points ago

I'll be there, late as usual.

Anyone who needs a ride from Fan/Museum Dist., please PM me your name and number and I will pick you up on my way there from work that day.

[–]blackgirl87 1 point2 points ago

I'll be there too :)

[–]blackgirl87 0 points1 point ago

cant make it anymore Q_Q, last minute trip to boston

[–]Surfacetovolume[S] 1 point2 points ago

Next time! :)

[–]boobie-master 1 point2 points ago

I will try my best to be there, always wanted to go to a meet up!

[–]cbmacdonald 1 point2 points ago

2 blocks from my place. I'll be there!

[–]anon120 0 points1 point ago

So how would I spot the meetup table? Do I have to look for a book with a rose in it? :D

[–]Surfacetovolume[S] 0 points1 point ago

I'll have the alien taped up somewhere.

[–]strawberryleather 1 point2 points ago

If I can get out of work on time. I'll be there.

[–]rugbert 0 points1 point ago
