ohiovolffemtp Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I'd like to put faces to the screen names here. Any chance we could set up a get together one evening at SEMPA - or meet at one of the receptions. If so, we could set up logistics and then PM cell numbers to link up then.

ajnelson Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Wish I was going this year! Meeting up with all of you guys from the forum was always one of my favorite parts of SEMPA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karebear12892 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I'm interested in meeting up! I also have a couple of questions: -Do people generally bring notebooks, laptops, etc. to take notes during the presentations? -How do you sign up for the workshops w/ additional cost? I was looking for a link, but didn't see one. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Febrifuge Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 People take notes lots of ways. Some don't take notes at all. Lecturers are supposed to have their presentations finalized with enough lead time that the entire thing can be downloaded by participants beforehand. I like to take my notes right in the PDF of the PowerPoint document so it's all together when I look something up later. Signing up for workshops is done when you register for the conference. If you want to add something on, especially so close to the conference, I would suggest calling. Look up SEMPA's most recent emails and you should have the info you need. I'd like to vote for either Thursday or Saturday evenings, for what it's worth. I have a buddy in San D and we might be getting together on Friday night.

karebear12892 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Thursday evening would work well for me. I don't know anyone going so it would be great to have some folks to meet up with! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Febrifuge Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I was talking yesterday with Kevin (Medic25) and tonight (Thursday) is the reception on the USS Midway, but after that might be a good time to do the PA Forum gathering, right? In fact, maybe we should meet up on the ship -- let's decide on a place and time, or maybe a code phrase or visual cue so we can recognize one another? -- and then after that we could sit around and socialize somewhere. I think the hotel has a few good-looking options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medic25 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Missed you guys at the Midway; how about Redfields (hotel lobby) at 9pm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Febrifuge Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Dang, I wish I had seen your message. After closing down the Midway, I enjoyed some BBQ, then dessert and whiskey at a place around the corner, then a delicious glass of ice water in the hotel bar, and how I'm going to curl up and pass out. Try again tomorrow, or Saturday, maybe? The west coast is tough on people from more eastern time zones... Maybe we should plan on a 7pm thing...

medic25 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Ok, second attempt. How about meeting in the lobby at 7pm outside of Redfields and then figure out a spot to eat and grab a drink? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Febrifuge Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 It really is like herding cats, isn't it? Sorry, guys, it seems like my plans start coming together anytime between 6:30-8:30 each night, and usually when I can't get good enough signal to check the boards. I'm willing to keep trying! PM me for my cell number if you'd like to try coordinating on the fly. And if I can recommend something, Sunday early morning breakfast at Cafe 222, a 3 or 4 block walk, is amazing. I think I will try to be there in line bright and early tomorrow at 6:45 for biscuits and gravy. I'll have my red and black fleece jacket on.

AliB Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 It may not help if you don't have signal to get email either ... but if you "follow" this topic, you can have it email you every post at the time it's posted ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Febrifuge Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Right, so here is what we know about tonight, Saturday night, the last night of the conference... Medic25 has some Board responsibilities, but if things work out he thinks he might be able to get out in a bit. It's nearing 9pm now as I type this. My plan is to hang around by the fire pit for a little, and then walk over to The Whisky House, at 420 3rd Avenue, about 3 or 4 blocks from the hotel (It's on the north side of Harbor Blvd and the train tracks, and I'm not sure you can just cross anywhere, so there could be some east-west walking to get into the Gaslamp district. I think we can count on at least me being there by sometime between 9:30 and 10. That's pretty late for this Central Time Zone resident, but I'm good for one, I'd say. Breakfast tomorrow would be amazing at Cafe 222, but that might depend on how late tonight gets. Sound good? Okay then. Maybe see some of you there. I'm a middle-sized bald man with a red fleece over a blue button-down shirt and jeans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
