Reminder: 248AM Meetup Today!
The 248AM Meetup is going to be held tonight (Monday, August 7th) at 9PM at the Starbucks in front of Al-Fanar Complex in Salmiya. We will gather upstairs and me and Nat will probably be the first people there.
If you don’t know anyone thats fine, no one knows anyone anyway and the purpose of this meetup is to meet new people and just hang out. So don’t be shy or anything like that, its just a gathering not a blind date.
Date: Monday, August 7th 2006
Location: Starbucks opposite Al-Fanar in Salmiya.
Time: 9PM
Here is a crappy map if you need one. [Map]
note: you can bring a friend with you if you want.
note2: if you have a Nintendo DS, bring it along with you.

I WANNED TO COME! BUT ITS THIS MONDAY AND IM IN CHICAGO! DAMN!
I think I’ll pass by with a friend of mine.
I will be there but alone on my table !!
coz i don`t know how to recognize you guys !!!
i will be wearing hello my name is Mark sticker if i can find any :)
damn, i’m in san francisco
Hey Fuzz,
I was wondering what’s up with you. You were not active for quiet some time.
Have fun in SF.
Me and shark will park our “harly”s together :)
I am in, btw do i need to carry my wallet?
Mark do you consider how many people will come ?
i think Starbucks will blow up :)
i have no clue how many people are gonna come. Like 70 said they were interested in the last post, if they all come that would be really cool… and the place will get really packed
ok well if ur interested, a good idea would be to have name tags. Personally, I think we just mingle and find out who is who.
70 people! lets run riot in salmiya
:: Still thinking …
you are about to kill me Mark heheh :P
9 pm???? That’s way past my bedtime :P
I’ll be there ;)
Shame, I aint in Kuwait on the 7th. Have to go to the next one then. (Hint Hint)
I will be there :)
hmmm, i wish u could have decided on a better place, a different starbucks maybe
I will try to make it out!
i’m with mesho ..
how about starbucks in plaza complex hawalli ?!
It has to be somewhere easy to find and somewhere with lots of parking and somewhere that can handle a lot of people. Starbucks in front of Fanar fits our needs the best. I dont think anyone wants to drive into Hawalli unless its an emergency lol
I hope everyone has fun! I won’t be able to make it due to the fact that I’ll be in Cyprus!
why….!!! I wanted to come! I’m back in Kuwait on Aug 14th… can we make another meeting for those who didnt make it the first time round??? :) pwetty pweezzee
lets see how the first meeting goes before we consider a second one lol
I say we meet at 14:48 PM! :)
I agree.. easy place to find.. good parking .. that is the criteria!
I will be fashionable late! hehehehe!
And there is no way in hell i would ride into Hawally on a bike its suicide!!!
“Shame, I aint in Kuwait on the 7th. Have to go to the next one then. (Hint Hint)”
have fun guys
:D .. woooooooohoooooooooooo
Starbucks fanar is big, spacious, cozy, good smoking facilities, good parking … i can’t wait to meet you people :D
/me loads AK47 ….
:( I’ll miss it ..
DO U SUPPORT MANCHSTER UNITED OR CHELSEA? (ONLY GAY PPL DNT WATCH FOOTBALL!!) AND DONT GET OBSESSED…..NOBODY IN THIS WORLD HAS 70 PPL INTERESTED IN THEM….UNESS UR A CELEB
Neither Manchester nor Chelsea
i was starting to worry what took u guys so long to ask for “soft drinks”…….:D like some said booze is the proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy !:D whos with me?
Hi,
I would have gone if I had been in Q8. I hope you do another one sometime. I imagine many people will be on vacation right now. Anyway, have a good time!
Im all for the soft drink filled with happiness :)
i wanna goooooooooooooo :(
if the q8 one is successful, i think u should make an international 248am meetup in London so I can go ;p
hi everyone count me in…;P
Try mini cups…the best cup cakes ever just call 6761374…;p
i just tryed them and they’re great
thats really nice of u mark . very nice thing to do man :)
i’ll be there , but how about a code word to know each othe ? !! like whispering in someones ears ” pssst,, holla !! ” it’ll be kinda crazy right ?
hmm ha!! i dont know!
maybe!!! :S !
chronik, saint or sinner! now yer talkin! lol tough luck, but i think we could pass off a particular irish cream as coffee at starbucks real easy! The we all get giddy and exchange those name tags!
then which club?
Fuck it.. break out the kegs.!!!!!!
Me wants to come 2,3,4!
Mark, you still haven’t told us whether by any chance, this blogger meetup is sponsored by Alghanim Automobiles or not. :)
Also, if I may say so, you need to push your meetup timings even further to midnights on wild Wednesday evenings. Or perhaps you can alternate it with a monthly bookclub, film appreciation session, or some such.
My only worry is are these local meetings negligee friendly? I sure as hell hope they are!
I am only to be seen in my negligee after sundown and therefore; this earnest query.
I’d come, but I don’t like large social gatherings as I am an introverted and moody asshole.
Ahh fuck, I’m away; If this goes well, I’ll be at the next one, hopefully in the winter where theres better weather so we can have it outside.
/me will be at the next one.
I dont think this is going to be sponsored.. let people meet people.. thats the best part.. and the simpler it is the better it is! I will be parking right up front! Screw parking in the back! I hope that the weather is good though! I cant ride in the damn sand storms! Heat I dont mind, but sandstorms will screw me over!
bugger…. wish i didn’t have to get up so early in the morning, otherwise i’d come too :(
Not the one to ever leave home without my Rhodesian ridgeback, I wonder if there’s anyone out there who wouldn’t mind baby sitting my dog for me while I m away at the meet. Leave a message on 999911777, if interested.
I think you should have a pet friendly policy so that while people meet people meet people pets can get to meet with other pets too.
Oh, and there’s one other thing : can I bring along a weekend f***buddy with me although this is purely, a weeknight event?
Da Angel…is a hooker.
How about PSP Mark?
well with DS if 1 guy has the game (like mario kart) other people can still play it even if they dont have the game.
with psp we all have to have the same game..
Mark, take a picture of everyone who shows up. It would be interesting to post them on your blog.
Pearls I dont think so. If you want to know how other people look like you need to be at the meeting :)
I’d love to come and see everyone but there are things I have to do. Maybe another time.
It might be disappointing (or the opposite!) to see people in real life… like when you have a favourite DJ on the radio you think is really cool (well, not in Kuwait but..) then when you see them on TV you think “who the hell’s that fat bald 50 year-old f*cker?”
I have mental images of some of you guys… and this time I’m gonna have to stick with those.
any updates? :P
Gonna interesting!
hey guys , sorry maybe i wont be make it so i will send u cookies and please enjoy your time , the driver will be there at 9 mark ;)
Yum Yum – Choowy Goowy cookies!!
[...] Just got back from the meetup. I was expecting or should I say I was hoping that around 20 people would come but to my surprise around 35 people showed up. It was pretty cool and I got to put faces on a lot of nicknames. Having Starbucks as our venue was a good choice since we had a whole section to ourselves. Anyway nice meeting everyone and for those who missed it maybe we will meet next time. Filed under: Kuwait, Personal, Blog Info Posted by Mark on 08.07.06 | Related Entries [...]
