Bitmob Community Meet-Up: The Aftermath (pt. 1)

We would like to thank all the fine folks who made it out to San Francisco this past Friday evening for our first-ever (and definitely not last) Bitmob Community Meet-Up.

People came from far (Reno, Sacramento, Connecticut, Ohio...even Montreal!) and not so far (Managing Editor Greg Ford lives a few blocks away). You people are seriously nuts for wanting to come out to see us.

Unfortunately, I did not do a good job of taking a lot of pictures -- I never really think to do so until my girlfriend reminds me. And then I have to deal with the public embarassment of having to use her pink camera since I don't have one.

Regardless, I have a bunch more shots up on our Bitmob Facebook page, so please stop by, check them out, and tag yourselves (and please join as a fan if you haven't already). Here's a sampling (check out the third photo, with a special message that someone left for us gamers in the men's bathroom)...and expect some more photos and videos from our community friends that were there.

Update: Community member Jeff Grubb's update is up!

Next to the crossed-out DS logo on this Nintendo-sponsored mirror over the urinals:
"Go out & live life. Fuck game machines. Ignore them." OK, will do, buddy!

I guess our mirror-marking friend doesn't understand the irony of his statement. I mean, what exactly were we doing at Buckshot if not going out and living life? Though, I did spend some time ogling the Toobin' "machine".

I say we have an East-Coast Bitmob Meetup later on in the year. I mean, we've got quite a few southern Ontarians and Quebeckers, not to mention the dozens of people who live in the American Great Lakes region as well as in New England. I bet we could get like 40 people if we all agreed to meet up in New York.

I'm down if anyone else is!
Omar Yusuf , July 12, 2009
I am from Quebec, and I would be interested in that... let's make something happen ^^

Adam Jorgensen , July 12, 2009
I would probably be down for a NY East Coast meetup sometime. I live sort of close to the Finger Lakes region of NY.

Thanks for coming out to meet the community guys! We all really enjoyed it! Also, I can't tag on the facebook page for some reason.
James Cotellesse , July 13, 2009

I had a great time, and loved the Buckshot's "Irish" Russians (bar didn't have cream, so it used Baileys instead of cream to make a White Russian). I hope we get to do this again sometime in the near future!
Jason Wilson , July 13, 2009
I was pretty drunk, I'll post up a photo blog here pretty soon.
Jeffrey Michael Grubb , July 13, 2009
Buckshots had a drink called the Ike Turner. Ten bucks gets you a shot of Henny and a slap in the face. lol.
Alejandro Quan-Madrid , July 13, 2009
East Coasters might want to think about PAX East 2010 in Boston, Mar 26-28.
