UPDATED: HUBSKI Gathering in Michigan This Saturday June 16th @ 8:30

This Saturday Hubski will be hosting a gathering in Ann Arbor Michigan. Location to be determined. The idea is just to get together, have some beers, a few laughs and some interesting conversation. I'll be flying in for the event and look forward to meeting some of you. I have confirmation that mk and b_b will be there...

Can you make it?

UPDATE: Originally, we had set the location as the Arbor Brewing Company. Turns out that may not be accommodating as they can't hold a spot for us. I have some calls out to some other locations which are within a block of ABC. I'll update tomorrow.

Look forward to seeing everyone

I have a meeting with Ann Arbor Science and & Skeptics at 5 PM so I may be a little late but I will be there.

Cool, see you there. I'm having second thoughts about the venue. I'm not sure there will be enough space at the bar area and their "event" space is taken.
by Mindwolf 342 days ago  ·  link
Are you looking for Ann Arbor specifically, or will other places do?
by Mindwolf 342 days ago  ·  link
Call the Corner Brewery Arbor Brewery's other site and see if they have an opening. I go there for skeptics in the pub and I love it.

A2 specifically. I love the CB though. I used to live 1 block away from it and walked down there regularly. A place in A2 that is open like that would be good. I'm thinking either Babs Underground, Cafe Habana Cellar/Lounge (beneath blue tractor) or even the Arena. For best cheap drinks I'd say Arena for best area to congregate I'd say Babs or Cafe Habana.

Any thoughts? What do you think OldNateNewNate? This is your hood, any places I'm not thinking of?

Habana, if I recall, can get insanely loud n Saturday nights, so something to keep in mind.
by mk 342 days ago  ·  link
Yeah, I want to be able to talk. I can't stand really loud bars, they are for people with little to say.
by thenewgreen 342 days ago  ·  link
I agree. Let's go to Babs. If there is a game on at the Arena it will be too loud. What do you guys think? Plus 8:30 at Babs is pretty early, shouldn't be too busy.
by ecib 342 days ago  ·  link
I don't remember having been to Babs before (maybe I have though) so I will leave it to others to decide. Their website seems to give the right vibe.

It's the one that looks like you are walking downstairs into an office suite, but instead it's a swanky bar.
by ecib 341 days ago  ·  link
Hmm. Yeah. I remember you describing it before we went there once. I guess that's what happens when it looks like an office suite...
by thenewgreen 342 days ago  ·  link
True. Alright, so we're looking at either the Arena or Bab's Underground. Both have pool tables if people are in to that. Bab's might have a better selection of liquors... but the Arena has a bunch of taps....?
by b_b 342 days ago  ·  link
I do like the sound of that "Beer And a Bourbon for $Seven at Bab's". I didn't realize the Blue Tractor was the place by Habana. I've been there. They have a cool look to the place and a lot of space.
by OldNateNewNate 342 days ago  ·  link
Wolverine State Brewing Company, next to the old Big George's has some great beers. Babs should be pretty quiet at 8:30, maybe to quiet . I'd say Arena, Jolly, Ashley's, or maybe Bar Louie if you want to talk.
by thenewgreen 342 days ago  ·  link
Too quiet might be what we're looking for... Does Jean Carlo still work there? (Bab's)
by OldNateNewNate 342 days ago  ·  link
He is at the Last Word now. Formally GoodNight Gracie's.

Times they are a changin'

See ya Saturday?

by OldNateNewNate 342 days ago  ·  link
They are. I'll see ya
by b_b 342 days ago  ·  link
The good thing about The Arena is that there is always plenty of space, and they won't care if we take a few tables while we're waiting for people.
by thenewgreen 342 days ago  ·  link
I know the owners really well.
by b_b 342 days ago  ·  link
Sounds like that's our place then.
by thenewgreen 342 days ago  ·  link
So let it be written.
by Mindwolf 342 days ago  ·  link
The Jolly Pumpkin has that upstairs section too.
by thenewgreen 342 days ago  ·  link
Called them. First come seating and it's all at formal "tables", not much of a bar area to hang at according to them. Leaning heavily towards the Arena or Habana under Blue Tractor.
by Mindwolf 342 days ago  ·  link
What about Ashley's on S. State? I don't remember the inside, though
by thenewgreen 342 days ago  ·  link
Inside is small and fills up quickly, may not be a good call. I don't expect us to have a huge crowd but still, you never know.

The hubski logo looks a little dated. It looks so May 2012. What happened to the light blue and orange satellite hubs.
by thenewgreen 343 days ago  ·  link
Ha. Good call but some things take time...
by mk 343 days ago  ·  link
Yes, we will drink, and then discuss #tags!

Jk. Looking forward to it!

by ecib 343 days ago  ·  link
Yet you know that's exactly what we will do...
by thenewgreen 343 days ago  ·  link
I'm completely cool with that. I actually look forward to it.
by khaaan 341 days ago  ·  link

by thenewgreen 341 days ago  ·  link

by steve 342 days ago  ·  link
My jealousy knows no bounds...
by thenewgreen 341 days ago  ·  link
Wish you could be there steve#1
by lessismore 343 days ago  ·  link
I will be there in spirit. Yay beer!!
by ecib 343 days ago  ·  link
In this case less is not more. We'll drink to ya.
by lessismore 343 days ago  ·  link
Much appreciated.
by b_b 342 days ago  ·  link
I will be there in mind, body and spirit. Unless I get drunk; then just body.
by ecib 343 days ago  ·  link
I will be there for sure! Looking forward to this.
