I was just wondering if there are any hatrackers in the Phoenix metropolitan area. I feel so alone. [Angst]

Posted by kwsni (Member # 1831) on :

Feyd's around there somewhere.

Ni!

Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :

Feyd's in Tuscon, I'm in Prescott. They're both, give or take, about two hours from Phoenix.

You feel alone in one of the ten largest metro areas in the nation?

Posted by Derrell (Member # 6062) on :

Jon Boy, I said that because I read about all these get togethers and there aren't any in my neck of the woods.

Goat, do you ever get down to the Phoenix area?

Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :

Sometimes I go down to my grandparents' in Avondale. Usually about once every 4-6 months. I also have a friend that lives in Anthem, but that's probably not considered "the Phoenix metropolitan area." I used to go down to my aunt's, but she's moved to Dewey. And, of course, my cousins live down there, but.....literally speaking, the ones that aren't prostitutes are drug addicts, so I try to avoid them.

But I usually don't get togethor with online people, anyway.

I could have sworn Scott was in Phoenix, but Pat would know better than I do.

*pat pats Derrell*

Nobody's alone! [Wink]

I'm sorry, I don't live in the area, I live in the midwest, but I'm sure many Hatrackers live near you!! And you're not alone, we're all with you anyway. [Monkeys]

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

Yeah, I think Scooter lives in Phoenix. What ever happened to him, anyway? Or to Pat, for that matter?

Also, Ludosti and Slacker live in Phoenix. I don't know about anyone else.

Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :

No clue, Jon. I've been wondering, though.

Posted by Derrell (Member # 6062) on :

Thanks for the info.
(((Raia))) [Smile]

Posted by ludosti (Member # 1772) on :

Yup, slacker and I live in the Metro area (Chandler, to be specific).

I think Shigosei is going to school at ASU.

Posted by celia60 (Member # 2039) on :

if you're really that curious, you could send one of them an email. i suppose that would take a lot more work than just hitting post, though, wouldn't it?

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

Work?! O_o

Posted by Shigosei (Member # 3831) on :

Yeah, I'm at ASU. But not until later this week. Hooray for long Christmas breaks!

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

(((((Derrell))))) Anytime! [Wink]

Well, I WAS near Phoenix (Maricopa, actually) but I flew out of that lovely airport of yours a few days ago and am now back in VA. It was nice visiting your neck of the cacti for a while.

I'm sensing sarcasm.

Posted by Derrell (Member # 6062) on :

ludosti, I'm in Tempe.
(((Raia)))Than you. [Smile]

Posted by Architraz Warden (Member # 4285) on :

Well, I figured I'd better post in here now that it is nearly official and all. I'll be a Phoenixite in about a week, living and working there indefinitely.

I believe (this is less official) that I'll be in the Paradise Valley area of Phoenix near Northern Avenue and 51.

So, now that that is covered, who's up for lunch this Sunday (the 25th)? I have to be in Phoenix at 8 for a CAD test, finish that about 9, and then have until 1:30 free it looks like. E-mail or drop a post here I suppose if you're absolutely dying for something to do then.

Posted by ludosti (Member # 1772) on :

It'll be fun to have you in the area! So, you're thinking you'll be in PV?

Unfortuntely (well, not really "unfortunately" since we're having fun), slacker and I are both in WA for the next week, so we're not in a position to be able to hook up with you tomorrow.... Good luck on your test!!

Posted by Derrell (Member # 6062) on :

Where would you want to have lunch? I live in the vicinity of 48th street and Southern. It's right on the border of Tempe and Phoenix.

What time?

p.s. If you like Mexican food, there's a great place not too far from me. Email me(it should be in my profile) or post here.

Posted by Shigosei (Member # 3831) on :

Tomorrow's not a very good time for me, but if there's ever another get-together, I'd like to come. The problem is, I don't have a car...so someone will either have to come down to ASU and pick me up, or we'll need to meet somewhere within a mile or so of campus. Or I'll have to try to figure out how to ride the bus to wherever we go.

Posted by Valentine014 (Member # 5981) on :

BobbyK lives in Yuma. In late July or early August he is driving to meet me in El Paso...? Maybe I will meet him half way. I'm sure he'd love the company. I need some Hatrackers to show me around the border.

Posted by Derrell (Member # 6062) on :

Valentine, If you meet in Phoenix, I'd be happy to show you around. [Smile]

Posted by Valentine014 (Member # 5981) on :

*quickly types in mapquest*

How far is it to Phoenix from El Paso?

Posted by Valentine014 (Member # 5981) on :

Me---->EnemysGateisDwn on AIM

Anyone near Omaha? I want to see a movie tonight. Yes..ROTK again but I hate going to movies alone.

Posted by Derrell (Member # 6062) on :

It's roughly 420 miles according to mapquest.

Posted by Valentine014 (Member # 5981) on :

Uh..that's a bit far for me. That would cut my visiting time in half. But I will keep you in mind for a future movie/dinner pal.

Posted by Architraz Warden (Member # 4285) on :

Well, I missed a bit of my post. Everything I have set up is for Monday. I'll be in Phoenix Sunday about 1 or so...

So we could do lunch or dinner on Sunday, and not be rushed. Or we could do lunch on Monday at 11 or so. I really meant to clear that up before I posted, so let me know which of those three you prefer.

Oh, and I'll have to figure out some sort of mini-hatracker bash at my new apartment when I actually manage to get settled.

Posted by Derrell (Member # 6062) on :

Architraz, either one works for me. What type of food. Mexican, burgers,etc. Let me know and I'll come up with some suggestions.

The mini-gathering sounds cool.

Posted by Architraz Warden (Member # 4285) on :

Mexican or chinese food would be preferable. I'll e-mail you in a few minutes with a cell number. And we're shooting for dinner I suppose?

So, no one else is available for this?

If anyone wants to um, come pick me up...
