Troy Spiral (13) Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 The Gathering 29 at The Red Apple Restaurant & Inn 32711 Michigan Ave, Wayne, MI 48184 <--- Directions via Google 7:30 Thursday, September 22nd. Really Big Sign Hard to miss. A casual dinner time gathering in a "Denny's like" environment. Club Attire Encouraged but not Required GLBT, Fashion Models, Cosplayers Goths, DGNers, Ex DGNers Re-Goths, Goths for a day, Horror Movie and Sci Fi (especially SW, ST, BSG and GoT ofc fans.) MTG players. Ingressers. The spiritually inclined, Science & History buffs. General weirdos. Totally normal open minded people. All welcome. Like all DGN events this is NOT particularly kid friendly*. Hope to see you there! Please invite any and all you think might be REMOTELY interested! Bring a good attitude! Please help Invite! If you want a card ask! If you really want one ask here in this topic. *like DGN itself , this is not "kid friendly". You can bring them but No F-Bombs will be held back. No sexual innuendos (or straight up sex talk) will be spared. If you can't get a sitter and your kids are not SUPER well behaved leave them in a kennel at home with food & water. This is NOT the place to post about how you're going somewhere else , or doing something else or intentionally not coming or some other BS. Thanks. That being said, Please help us get the word out! Looking forward to seeing you! If you would like one of our weekly "The Gathering" cards (Some Examples). Ask in person at The Red Apple <--- key step. *If you really want to make sure you get one. Just ask here (not in the FB page, that will be futile) and make sure you show up before me. Some time after I walk in the door and whoever has asked for a card (here) has priority. ** Cards Fine Print **If for some reason there are not enough cards to go around (There are typically only 7) 1. Ask at the gathering for a card (first come first serve, with the below exceptions) 2. If your name is not in this topic I'll hold off until someone who does have their name IS in this topic asks for a card. 3. Asking in this topic means you have priority over someone who has not, everyone that asks here will get one before someone who has not. 4. I'll hold one for Permanent Benefactors until its clear the aren't coming if they've asked here. (If you are unsure what this is don't worry about it or have a look here) 5. If you've asked here , just ask at the gathering and you should get a card with no problem. 6. The order in which you ask here is not necessarily first come first serve unless there is somehow a "tie" asking at the gathering, then the order you ask here would break that tie. Hopefully none of the above will be super necessary and there will never be any drama over the theoretically "for fun" cards. (there never has been) But please request a card HERE if you want one.

Troy Spiral (13) Posted September 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 I assume I'm going. Also I want a card. (Seriously there are only 8 of them if you want one please ask, here) also once someone asks for one that triggers 'the carding' and it follows the 'flow chart' rules listed above. If I can get some damn rest I want to try and make some special ones for people that have helped a lot but when that's gonna happen I dunno. Still haven't really rested up from the hospital yet.

Draco1958 Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 I also am requesting a card if I can make it. Seems car has developed a new problem and we need to figure out if it's fixable cheaply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Guy Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Don't say "please come" though, as it sounds pathetic and weak. Say "If you don't come you're missing out" instead or something like that. It's psychology. They aren't helping you (or at least they don't need to know that.) You're helping them by giving them a place to go and something to do that isn't sitting at home doing nothing. In reality both are true but to some people if it seems like they're doing you a favor they equate that to "work" and "work" = "bad". Although maybe we don't want those types anyway and therefore the people who do go are of a higher quality. Last week's turnout was pretty good sine all the people who occasionally come decided to do so on the same day. I'm looking forward to this week.

Michael8402 Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 I am not sure if I will be making it or not. Chel is in PA for the week and I am beating myself up trying to get the motorcycle working again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah even when I typed it i thought it was a bit too "begging" sounding. Just didn't give enough of a damn at the time to change it, was feeling so shitty. Your secondary point is true to , although I do look at it almost like they are "doing something for me" the FIRST time they come. After that no. Feeling iffy health wise, but I'll probably still make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Spiral (13) Posted September 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Well I was going to just manmode it down there but I've been developing a cough ever since the last day at the hospital it was really minor. Not so now, wouldnt want to give it to anyone. I'm really trying to get down there damn it! Hopefully I can still get the cards down there. Feel bad about not making it. Like I'm failing you guys.

Scary Guy Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Runaway Train is a good song. I hope everyone who didn't make it feels better and/or gets their shit taken care of. I hope the same for a few that went too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
