Maybe, assuming I'm going to be sleepless in SEA.

Very likely yes
 
Just added bdnyc to wiki. I'll watch for zoom link. A summer Saturday evening in NYC - not much else going on. :p

I don't think I've seen you since we had the Soup DO after-party at Carnegie's all those years ago. Glad to see you're still around here -- it would be great if you could join.

You can add your name to the wiki above that post. Or if you are unable, let one of us know and we can do it for you ;)

We are coming up with a heck of an attendee list. As a reminder, this is the one-year anniversary of the Drunk DO series. We may do a Drunk DO olympics, which so far in my head is a form of a scavenger hunt. More on that to come, along with a word of the day.

Invites have been sent out via PM. Please post on this thread in addition to adding your name to the wiki if you would still like to attend. I'll post the link in the first reply for 30 minutes once we begin.

Tonight will be a lot of fun. We'll have an awards ceremony for previous winners, and a mini-olympics to determine the winner for tonight (unless someone falls asleep :o).

The word of the day is champion.

Tick this box.
 
This will likely be a stunner for other members here on FlyerTalk, but I will likely experiment with Zoom for this Virtual Do.
I'll scribe it thus: The battery on my old Windows 8.1 laptop lost its ability to hold its charge. I ordered a replacement battery for it. Unfortunately, clumsy Pudgy managed(?) to damage its motherboard attempting to install the new battery. :o :td:
I am not upgrading(?) to Windows 10 (or 11). So I had to scramble to find another Windows 8.1 laptop. I found one on Mercari from a purveyor in Queens. (How appropriate.)
It was not easy to purchase it. I had to physically visit the nearest branch of the Chicago Public Library because Mercari would not work on a v.92 connection. Amazingly, the computers there have a slot for a flash drive which saved time re-locating the laptop's URL.
The laptop was delivered here in Chicago. Its packaging was not the most padded. It was a good thing it likely was loaded on an airplane at LGA and offloaded at ORD. If it had been ordered by somebody in Havre, MT., it might not have arrived there in good condition. :eek:
On this laptop, I have not (yet) gotten around to putting tape over the camera lens.
So later tonight, I will go to a nearby food and drink establishment which I know has a wifi network I can logon to, download the Zoom software to the replacement laptop, and run it for this Virtual Do. :star:
The venue has a respectable selection of beers, both craft and macro. You may actually see my face if I get it to work correctly, but you will not hear me. You will have to read the text box beneath.

we are pre-gaming at Ravenna Brewing, and will probably join ~1830PDT/2130EDT

Wake up, GW! Time to start!

bdnyc Aug 7, 2021 6:06 pm

Do we need an alternate zoom room? I can offer

You surely meant "leave the bar and head home" :D

goodeats21 Aug 7, 2021 6:10 pm

Was wondering if I had the right time zone... :)

ShopAround Aug 7, 2021 6:15 pm

I’m gonna give this ten more minutes before I shut down Zoom and turn on Netflix.

Time to transition from pregame to game :D

cockpitvisit Aug 7, 2021 6:17 pm

Can anyone else start a Zoom room? You can later make GW a co-host I think (if he appears at all :D)
