So the Mercury wants to do a monthly Blogtown/Questionland meet-up event. What sort of activity should be involved?

We kind of feel like trivia has played itself out, but what about a monthly movie on a patio, or bowling, or happy hour karaoke, or roller skating or something else? Or maybe just heavy drinking? People! Your ideas, please!

    Bocce Bocce Bocce! (Can we please do that while the weather is still nice, and save the indoor stuff for when it gets nasty?)

    Karaoke would be so awesome if it could happen early and I could still be home by 11, but I think doing an activity-free happy hour would be the best at bringing folks out. Maybe at a place with a pool table or trivial pursuit cards on the tables so people in need of activities to force mingling could have them.

    And I like the idea of wearing badges with our avatars on them. I REALLY like wearing badges.

    I'm sad about the Trivia being over. I miss everything fun. Stupid San Francisco.

    Also, I'm up for karaoke, movie, or roller skating. I like activities.

    I feel like if we all get together with just booze there's nothing to bring people together - force them to mingle. You know?

    How about a weeknight lawn dart tournament? Or Karaoke. I agree that trivia's time has passed. Particularly after winning last time (ha!), the pressure to deliver is just too much for my meager resolve.

    Aw shit, I was seriously on my way here to say "trivia." Guess I'm played out myself.

    We did karaoke at a Slog Happy once and it was really popular.

    Karaoke!!!! Who will duet "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" with me?

    Of course, just some good old fashioned heavy drinking would be fine.

    I don't really care what you guys set up, but for the love of god, stop scheduling stuff to happen while I'm busy.

    I have no life, this shouldn't be that hard!

    On the B. Breedlove tip, a contest where you write and perform with a friend a 2 minute (ficticious, of course) scene of an infamous kiss between a mayor and his young friend.

    2 minute limit. Otherwise no restrictions. Total creative freedom!

    Strippers. Cindy the Erotic Pleaser. Or anything from the last couple pages of the paper.

    (I can't believe nobody has suggested that yet.)

    And yes to the name tags.

    How about trivia in the form of JEPOARDY questions...
    sort of like how Saturday Night Live has done it,
    or maybe like JayWalking segment with Jay Leno of the tonight show!?!

    Kissing and Karaoke!

    haha...just kidding about the kissing

    Trivia sounds fun too!

    It would be great if there was something other than drinking, because some of us don't/can't drink...or maybe I'm the only one. No idea.

    I also like the idea of badges/nametags. :)
