The Official Meet Up Poll

[midasthailand]

Now all we need to know is what place the 12 people who want to go on Aug 29 voted for? I still plan to go to Bourbon St on 29th at 7 PM for lack of a definitive answer being provided by this poll. Unless Girlx wants to make an executive decision and declare a winning venue and date? At least I know there will be three others from TV at Bourbon St at this stage. Hey 5000 Baht between four of us will get us in the mood.

11 now, I jumped ship like a rat as soon as I found found out girl x held the big Five O

[girlx]

Gullivers on the 29th is winning, we will see what it is tomorrow morning and that will be final George from TV will contribute 5000b to that place.

Well although I'm an ex-matelot, I'm not about to go down with the ship so I guess I'll turn up at Gullivers on the 29th.

[soundman]

So the 29th? 28th would be better but seems un-popular for some reason.

Don't forget your TV T shirts! Hate walking into a room and going around asking different tables: "Are you here for the function?" and just getting weird stares like <deleted> are you on about man!

[girlx]

OH! so bourbon street and gulliver's are tied and this poll is supposed to end today! someone submit a tie breaker- surface????

[jfchandler]

I've been out of BKK (elsewhere in LOS) most of the past week...so I just got back and found this thread....thanks to Dotcom...

I've already voted for Bourbon Street.... on the 29th.... But I'm fine for either place... as may be ultimately decided...

Just a comment on the two choices...

For a TV meeting, at Gullivers, the only real option would be sitting outside on the patio.... since inside (at least for me) is so noisy with the music and such as to make any reasonable conversation impossible... But outside, they also have the metal tables... which make it a bit tougher to assemble a larger group together.

At Bourbon Street, they have plenty of room inside, and no problem to assemble tables in whatever manner/size of group is desired... Because it's indoors, it's also not subject to rain problems...

That's why I voted the way I did... But...as I said... I'm happy to drop by either locale...

I suspect foul play from dot.com and midasthailand. Rumoured they promising free beer for bourbon st votes, Anyway I live half way between the 2 so Im excited!

[jfchandler]

No one has/did offer to buy off my vote.... Too bad... wish they did!!!

[girlx]

I first suggested Gullivers & got shouted down. 555.

Meet up inside throught the left hand set of doors. Very cozy quiet & adjacent to the telephone booth smoking lounge.

I'll make a little sign.

[Murf]

I would never stoop to such a low act (wish I'd thought of it). Look forward to meeting you all on 29th. I assume you will be the one in the mask Zorro?

45 people voted for this.

15 said Gullivers (myself included).

Where is the rest of the team on ThaiVisa?

I'm all for a wee chat next Friday, but it's a poor turn out me thinks.

5,000Baht divided by 15 is rather nice . . . . . . !

[girlx]

[dotcom]

[jfchandler]

Girlx..... are you threatening to take a powder??? Certainly hope not....

Dunno about Thai Visa members..... but on a Friday night at Gullivers on Soi 5....I think I can safely say there will be MANY women around....

You'll hardly be alone...or lonely....

[zorro1]

What is it Girl x ? You not happy being surrounded by 30 fat balding guys in shorts n flip flops ? just kidding but would have been nice to meet you myaybe this thread should now be shifted to ladies forum??

[DegenFarang]

A good cross section of the expats of Thailand is what turn up to these functions. Some you'll like, some you won't, but most nights are well enjoyed by those that turn up.

Cheers.
