Hi all.. Ready for another Flatmate Meetup.. WED OCT 15th 7-9pm

I'm making it simple and heading back to the Phoenix Irish Pub in the Mission. It is on Valencia between 19th and 20th. I'll be there from 7pm till 9pm ish. Find me in the back with the Flatmate board.

And hey, here is suggestion to help even out the ratio between havers and needers.. when replying to rooms for rents or other adds toss out the idea for them to come join you for a drink. We all know how frustrating it can be replying to CL add after add after add and barely getting a reply back.. perhaps this can help.

After you give your spiel about how great you are and why you would be a terrific housemate.. perhaps add this little blurb too, just copy and paste:

"btw.. I will be joining many other potential housemates at a FLATMATE MEETUP this Wed Oct 15th at the Phoenix Pub located at 811 Valencia near 19th st. aprx 7-9pm. FLATEMATE MEETUP is a great way to meet others whom are looking to move or renting a space in a fun and relaxed atmosphere and it is all FREE.. so get away from the computer and come meet me. thank you and good luck on your search." http://roommate.meetu...

Hope to see many of you at the Phoenix, smiles Trish

    Thanks to all who came last night. Check back for the next meetup... I am considering THE COFFEE BAR on Bryant/18th/Mariposa ?? A few of us ended up there for the Couch Surfers event, its a good space. Or if any one wants to help host, let me know. Happy Hunting, smiles Trish

    I'm excited about moving out of my place, I turned in my 30 days notice last week. My search has begun! I'm up for moving in with roomies and I have a great 2 year old doggie, named Fisher. I'll be armed with business cards and look forward to meeting folks tomorrow night. - Ari

    •  Great turn-out this time. I wonder about trying one with a little more structure such as a go-around where we talk about ourselves, location, price range etc. 
    •  Thanks too all who came. Unfortunately, do to the Debates, the bar was overly crowded before I even got there. I was tempted to try and move the meetup elsewhere at the last minute, but it seemed to difficult. I had planned my meetup a few weeks before I knew the debate was happening. Perhaps I shld have reschd earlier in the week, but just no time. Sorry about that. The bar was too croweded and super loud. I need to pick a bigger bar, the Phoenix is just a bit to small for all of us. Overall, I felt we had a good turn out. I was sitting next to the front door and was able to greet all as the came in, but I felt like I barely got that chance to mingle myself. There were so many others that I hoped to talk to but missed the chance. At least there were a few more blues (havers) this time around. Perhaps my emailing suggetion helped, keep it up. I had a fun time and met some really cool peeps. I hope you all did too. Next flatmate, prob Nov 11 or 12, smiles T 
    •  Thanks again Trish for organizing quite a mixer. Somehow I liked sitting in the park drinking cheap beer better but this was fun too and a lot of cool people there. 
    •  unorganized, crowded, random 
    •  when i arrived it was suggested that we cancel the event due to being pre-empted by the pres. debates. and other factors. i'm a bit put off by having our meetups in a bar. i don't drink and i'm looking for a non-drinker to share my place. also it's diffiicult to have a conversation with the usual high noise level. as an alternative i would like to get together in a coffee house.
