For once I'm not double booked on Drunk Do night and should actually make it to this one. See you all there.
|
I will be there, barring any more runway closures.....
|
See you on Saturday night.

added to "maybe" list with the same caveat |
I added myself to the "sobering up" list; should know in the next 48 hours whether I will upgrade or downgrade...
|
Please put me on the maybe list!
|
I'm a strong maybe. I hadn't joined any of these during peak Covid time because I had so many other virtual meetings, I was feeling Zoom fatigue. But having met the gracious host last weekend, as well as some of the likely participants, I'm going to prioritize being home on Saturday night for this one. :)
|
I'm also going to try to make this one.
Did De Blasio say that for any zoom calls into NYC, masks were required? |
Hmmm. An excuse to drink.
Yeah, I'm down for that. Assuming I remember. :D |

Maybe, assuming I'm going to be sleepless in SEA.
|
Very likely yes

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.
-J. |
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. -J. |
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. |
I would like to attend too!!!
|
we are pre-gaming at Ravenna Brewing, and will probably join ~1830PDT/2130EDT
|
Wake up, GW! Time to start!
|
Do we need an alternate zoom room? I can offer

Was wondering if I had the right time zone... :)
|
I’m gonna give this ten more minutes before I shut down Zoom and turn on Netflix.

You surely meant "leave the bar and head home" :D
|
Can anyone else start a Zoom room? You can later make GW a co-host I think (if he appears at all :D)
|
I still do not have the Zoom meeting ID. :confused:
|
It was a mistake to declare him a winner for being late the last time :(

It says meeting ID not valid (I am using Zoom mobile)
|
It works now, thanks :)
|
Giving up for now - will try again in an hour or so...
