Reminder: SF Meetup is tomorrow, at Udupi

We are 29 hours away from Sepia Mutiny’s next meetup! Let’s meet at 6:30pm, tomorrow, at Udipi in the Mission. If we’re excessively fortunate, they’ll seat us and we’ll be nomming idli, vada and dosa shortly thereafter.

If some of your past experiences indicate anything, we won’t be so lucky, and we’ll have to put our names down for a table and then stare at each other awkwardly, while we wait. KIDDING. We’ll just stare; it won’t be awkward, because that’s what brown people do (oh, the “staring” thing…it could be a whole other post, it could).

Udupi Palace

ACHTUNG, BABY: a gentle reminder that Udupi is CASH-ONLY. Stop by your preferred ATM in advance so that you don’t get charged usurious fees by whatever is nearby. You’ve been warned. ๐Ÿ™‚

If you’re running late, email me so I know to include you when I request a table. anna at sepiamutiny dotty com. See you soon! ๐Ÿ™‚

  1. I wish you could be there, too. Your handle reminds me of Salt-N-Pepa. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Okay, so I think these are the people who are coming, based on comments left on the original thread:

    Livin’ Simplee Pallavi Amit Chitrana Bobby Harbeer Surya Camille

    Anyone else? Anyone flaking?

  2. I’ll be there if I can get a ride to and back from South bay – I have a shoulder injury and can’t drive long distances ๐Ÿ™

  3. Hari,

    Sure, can meet you in Sunnyvale (aka SuryaNagar). Send me an email to immakandi at Gmail and let’s mutiny offline.

    thx

    I never attended one of these meetups. It is just meet and eat or something more?

    Something more? What do you have in mind? ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Yes, we meet, get food and we talk. If I remember to do so, I take a few pictures. If we feel like it, we meander elsewhere and the conversation continues. Lurkers, friends, commenters, everyone is welcome and most people don’t know anyone else before-hand–but it doesn’t matter because you all have something in common: THIS timesuck. ;D

    Gosh, so much late interest in this meetup– if I had known it might be 16+ people, I would’ve changed the venue, but now, it’s too late to do that. I hope we all get seated, even if we’re at two tables. If you’re concerned about this, please try and be there at 6:30, because if you’re not, I won’t know to include you when requesting our table; people inevitably flake, so I’m not going to count the comments here and request a table that way. I repeat, when they ask “how many?”, I’m going to look around, count and tell them a number based on who is actually there.

    Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

    Chee Chee Rahul. You need a cold shower. And an enema. And the complete works of Ayn Rand.

    No thanks on the enema. After what Greenspan said when he emerged from his grotto this year, saw his own shadow, and predicted a long dark winter ahead, the works of Ayn Rand alone are enough to flush out my entire system.

  9. I was this close to attending the DC meetup, but I couldn’t, and now I see this just as I canceled my SF plans.

    This is a sign.

  10. As a long-time lurker I was hoping to finally make it for this meetup – but its fight-night ๐Ÿ™ – go Pacman ๐Ÿ™‚

  11. All right everyone– I’m leaving for SF in the next hour (cannot. stand. traffic). So one last time, for the cheap seats in the back:

    1) Udupi is CASH-ONLY.

    2) Udupi does not accept reservations.

    If you find this venue a poor choice due to those two points, I would humbly like to take this opportunity to point out that you guys suggested it. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Me? I’m looking forward to trying the food. The Berkeley Udipi (and Strada) is where I’ve been stopping whenever I’m on my way in/out of the city.

    So.

    Because we can’t make reservations and it’s going to be a busy Friday night, we need to actually be there on time, so that when we ask for a table, we know how big a number with which to torment the hostess. ๐Ÿ˜‰ We will be fighting for space among “Mission hipsters” apparently, so get ready to throw some ‘bows.

    Essentially, unlike DC where I arrange for tables or private rooms for us, this is going to be a flash mob sort of a meetup. Get there right around 6:30, we’ll do a headcount and then when we’re eating an hour later, we’ll shoot sympathetic looks at those who arrive on IST. If you’re running late but are like, minutes away, email me. Link is in handle. I wish you all a great Friday afternoon and I wish me no traffic and much Outkast and Lupe-blaring, as I bounce down 80.

  12. Gosh, ur all coming to my city. I didnt even know that there was an Udupi Palace here (been to Dosa nextdoor though). Anyway, I’ll try to be there.

  13. Oh my ! I just saw this post. I have been a lurker since time began and shall try my best to make it. Exciting

  14. i always see these meetup notices the day after – it’s quite remarkable! want to make the next sf one!
