Should we, could we, dare we???

Sactown, Fromhappyvalley, Peaches, El Toro?

Huh? Huh? Huh?

I'm just in town this weekend and next weekend. This weekend would be better for me. Either day would work.

I'd like to meet more of you crazy cats, but I'm only free next weekend (21-22). If you happen to meet then instead, I may stop by. Otherwise have fun!

Heck yes!

It's been so wicked hot that depending on the size of the group, we can get together at my house if everyone wants. I live in Rocklin.

I'll text Fromhappyvaley and ask her, too.

Upsies.

Because it would be so much fun.

It would indeed.

I heard from Fromhappyvalley (is that redundant?) and they are up for it so let's start planning when/ where, etc.

I think I maybe might want to sort of go for once. I haven't actually seen another ex-Mormon in person, and it seems like a good idea to meet my future roommates-in-Hell.

Starbucks or Peach's?

Would you welcome an occasional lurker like me? I've grown up in Roseville my whole life and havn't really talked to any other exmos either.

Thank god! I won't speak for Brian, but I was beginning to feel like Bill Cosby in Ghost Dad. It's nice to be noticed.

That's funny! I'm kind of a lurker myself. Looking forward to meeting other lurkers and non-lurkers alike.

Fromhappyvalley and I are in. Saturday work for everyone else?

I should be flexible enough to accomodate whichever day and time you all agree on.

I'm down for anything, but if we want to meet at my house, it will have to be Saturday night (or Sunday anytime).

Dinner might be fun, too. We can do drinks and appetizer-ish foods here or meet at a restaurant.

Or Starbucks, of course. We don't have to get all fancy-schmancy if everyone doesn't want to. :)

Just wanted to bring it back to the top.
(because unfortunately, too far for me...)

Bummer, quebec. Hopefully one day.

Thanks peaches, maybe one of these days it will fall on a time when I can take some vacations and plan a holiday in that part of the world.
I wish you lots of fun.

I'm flying out to Sacramento late August/early September. One of these visits will line up with an ex-mo get together, I'm sure. Have never personally experienced a fellow ex-mo before.

Grew up just west of Carmichael (lived there for 19 years, but never knew just what to call it).

For sure we will plan one when you are in town, fossilman!

You have to meet your fellow ex-mo's in person at least once. It's quite the experience. ;-)

It looks like the general consensus is for Saturday night. Does this work for everyone?

So...shall we pick a restaurant or do you all want to come here to Casa de la Peaches?

Okay, so the plan is to meet at my house around 6:30/7pm. Please email Raptor Jesus at: lord.raptor.isgod@gmail.com for the address.

Let's do BYOB (or whatever) and finger foods. Please let me know what you're bringing so I can fill in the gaps.

Looking forward to seeing everyone and meeting new apostates. ;-)

So far we have six coming...I've heard from Fromhappyvalley and Sactown, RJ (plus one) and me (plus one).

Anyone else?

El Toro and my super model sister are coming, too! Who hoo! Makes a head count of ten or so apostates-plus dates.

Anyone else is welcome to come.

See you tomorrow!

Peaches

Thanks Peaches for hosting this event! Fromhappyvalley and I really enjoyed meeting everyone and look forward to more meet ups in the future.

I will be attending as well. I honestly wasn't sure I'd be able to go- family drama-but I'm excited.

Thanks to everyone for coming. It was a blast. Let's do it again soon.

No doubt Raptor jesus organized this one because he couldn't make ours behind the Zion Curtain...

We did invite him, honest... But we have to do things on the Q/T to avoid Danites...

Roll Call: Jesus Smith, Jesus Smith, Jr., Swedeboy, myself, and and of course, the inimitable Will Bagley...

Our big discussion topic was "Whatever happened to Daniel C. Peterson?"

I'm sorry I missed this one, folks. I went to the official Sac meetup last August and I'm looking forward to this year's event again. Yesterday just didn't work out, but I'm very close by and I'm usually up for getting together when the opportunity arises. I really enjoy the meetups and hope to get to know some more of you soon.
My dream of meeting Raptor Jesus remains unfulfilled. So near, and yet so far.......someday ;)

The meet-up was fantastic. It was good to put faces with the fake internet names. Thank you for opening up your home for us, Peaches. It was lovely.

By the way, Raptor has the sexiest goddamned beard I've ever seen. He looks like a Mesopotamian deity.

When is that? I'd like to go.

THe "official" one referenced by intellectual feminist?

Hey there CTR,
I'm on an email list that "Jerry the Aspousetate" here on RfM put together.
And I think you and I live in the same town, based on a comment you made in another thread.
If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to get in touch with you and see if we have some mutual acquaintance. It would be great to know somebody else here who's left the church (officially or unofficially) and we could potentially carpool next time there's an event in Sac.

email me: meggiemay17@yahoo.com.

I can also get you Jerry's contact info so he can put you on the list. The official meet up is at the end of August.
